Turns out that Gruesome Newsom's number of 15% vacant was cherry-picked. California hospitals always hit 10% vacant this time of year. Seasonal flu and all that. From NOQ Report:
Gavin Newsom’s ICU ‘trigger’ for lockdowns is below average December ICU numbers
When California Governor Gavin Newsom set his 85% ICU capacity “trigger” to automatically start a new round of totalitarian lockdowns, he had zero doubt the number would be reached in December. How? Because that number is reached EVERY December. Knowing this, why wouldn’t he prepare by assisting hospitals across his state to increase ICU capacity?
The answer is obvious. He wanted the lockdowns. They’ve always been part of his plan, a plan that likely comes on orders from higher radical leftist puppetmasters. But instead of asking how California is going to get through this, they need to be asking why this was all laid out the way it was in the first place. What, Governor Newsom, is your endgame?
In any given year, most parts of California reach 90% ICU capacity in December. This is usually due to the surge in flu cases, but the flu is allegedly non-existent this year, replaced on paper by the more lucrative COVID-19 diagnoses preferred by hospitals. They knew it was coming, which is why they made moves separate from the state to increase ICU capacity. But without the state’s help, there was no way they were going to stay below the Governor’s 85% threshold. And they were okay with that.
The article also links to this story at the Los Angeles Times from January 16th, 2018:
California hospitals face a ‘war zone’ of flu patients — and are setting up tents to treat them
Ana Oktay rushed to the hospital in late December struggling to breathe, with a 102-degree fever and a cough that wouldn’t let up.
She expected doctors to tell her she had pneumonia or bronchitis.
“They were just like: ‘It’s just influenza A. It’s just what’s going around,’” said Oktay, 49.
An influenza A strain known as H3N2 is making people so ill in California that thousands have shown up in recent weeks at hospitals struggling to fight the infection.
And this little tid-bit:
Connie Cunningham and her staff at Loma Linda University Medical Center were triaging so many flu patients after New Year’s that they assembled what looks like a giant, brown camping tent in their emergency room parking lot. Several hospitals in California are treating flu patients in so-called “surge tents” intended for major disasters.
And:
Cunningham, executive director for the hospital’s emergency services, said she’d thought they would dismantle the tent after a few days, but staff are still treating 60 more patients each day than usual, she said.
Nothing new. Newsome knew he could count on those numbers so he implemented his plan to kill small businesses in his state. Straight out of the communist playbook. Small businesses are too "messy" - they depend on capitalism which is "impure". The State is pure - it serves the people. Until it does not. And then people die.
