I have pernicious anemia, and the treatment center for that just happens to be the same one as for the cancer patients. I can confirm, the place is empty. The last time I was there (a couple of months ago) I saw 3 people come and go throughout the 8 hours I was there. The rest of the hospital was just as empty by the look of it. I know for a fact that a bunch of the wards are currently closed due to no patients.
I hear that same story over and over.
I live close to one of the larger hospitals in the city. You can tell when it gets busy - just more cars in the lots. That usually happens around winter, which makes sense as respiratory diseases hit harder in the winter. It's not looking very busy right now.
It makes me so mad to think that there must be a lot of people suffering because they think the hospitals are overflowing so they don't seek treatment. I personally know 2 people who had their chemo stopped because "covid", one has since died from lack of treatment. It's just so fucked up.
It is fucked up badly. One of the reports I read (since quietly removed from every source I can find) stated that many of the "excess deaths" were from people not getting the care they needed.
