Hospitals in America, Australia and Sweden are reportedly being overwhelmed with patients who are sicker than ever and the media insists that “no one knows why.”
“ERs are now swamped with seriously ill patients — but many don’t even have COVID,” Michigan Radio reported last week.
Inside the emergency department at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, Mich., staff members are struggling to care for patients who are showing up much sicker than they’ve ever seen.
Tiffani Dusang, the emergency room’s nursing director, practically vibrates with pent-up anxiety, looking at all the patients lying on a long line of stretchers pushed up against the beige walls of the hospital’s hallways. “It’s hard to watch,” she says in her warm Texan twang.
But there’s nothing she can do. The ER’s 72 rooms are already filled.
[…] Even in parts of the country where COVID-19 isn’t overwhelming the health system, patients are showing up to the ER sicker than they were before the pandemic, their diseases more advanced and in need of more complicated care.
Months of treatment delays have exacerbated chronic conditions and worsened symptoms. Doctors and nurses say the severity of illness ranges widely and includes abdominal pain, respiratory problems, blood clots, heart conditions and suicide attempts, among others.
Australia is now reporting the same.
“Australia’s hospitals under pressure, despite COVID-19 respite, as healthcare workers prepare for Delta threat, AMA report finds,” ABC.net.au reported Thursday.
Australian hospitals are already overwhelmed and falling behind, even with the “once-in-a-generation” slowdown in patient numbers that came with COVID-19, an AMA report has found.
[…] According to the report, the number of patients leaving the emergency departments within four hours dropped to 69 per cent, its worst level since 2012–13.
Democrats Kill Bill to Protect Babies Born Alive After Botched Abortions

New Mexico House Democrats blocked a bill Thursday that would have required doctors to provide life-saving medical care to babies born alive after botched abortions.
The Democrat-majority state House committee voted to table the bill in a 3-2 party line vote, The Albuquerque Journal reports.
The bill, sponsored by Minority Whip Rod Montoya, a Republican, would have required abortion practitioners and other doctors to try to preserve the life and health of a baby born alive after a botched abortion. The bill also would have required the same protections for babies born in miscarriages and natural births, according to the report. It would have made it a first-degree felony to intentionally kill an infant born alive after one of these procedures.
“This is not an abortion bill,” Montoya said. “This is a human rights bill for infants who are born alive – whether it’s following an abortion, a miscarriage or a natural birth.”
Here’s more from the report:
The House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee heard emotional testimony and debate for about two hours – as supporters of the legislation described the horrors of botched abortions and the killing of infants.
But in the end, the committee’s three Democrats voted to table the bill, preventing it from proceeding through the Legislature.
Opponents of the bill said that laws and medical standards are already in place covering how to handle abortion and other procedures.
Dr. Sandra Penn, a physician for more than 30 years, urged the committee to avoid “political interference” in medical care.

Santa FE – Democrats in the state House on Thursday blocked Republican efforts to pass a law requiring doctors to provide medical care if an infant is born alive during an attempted abortion.
The House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee heard emotional testimony and debate for about two hours – as supporters of the legislation described the horrors of botched abortions and the killing of infants.
But in the end, the committee’s three Democrats voted to table the bill, preventing it from proceeding through the Legislature.
Opponents of the bill said that laws and medical standards are already in place covering how to handle abortion and other procedures.
Dr. Sandra Penn, a physician for more than 30 years, urged the committee to avoid “political interference” in medical care.
“This bill would add the possibility of criminalizing a medical procedure,” she said, and inject fear into a situation “when it should not be there.”
House Bill 37 is sponsored by four Republican representatives – Minority Whip Rod Montoya of Farmington, David Gallegos of Eunice, Rick Little of Chaparral and Yvette Herrell of Alamogordo.
The bill would require physicians attempting to perform an abortion to try to preserve the life and health of the baby if he or she is born alive.
It would be a first-degree felony to intentionally kill a “born alive infant.”
Montoya said the proposal was intended to fill a gap in New Mexico law.
“This is not an abortion bill,” Montoya said. “This is a human rights bill for infants who are born alive – whether it’s following an abortion, a miscarriage or a natural birth.”
Lt. Gov. John Sanchez, a Republican, also testified in favor of the bill.
“We have an obligation to stand up and speak out for the most vulnerable among us,” he said.
The bill was tabled on a 3-2 party-line vote.
Little Girl RAPED By Muslim Refugees At Her School Dance, Then Shows Up At School With An Even SICKER Surprise The Next Day
By S. White – Mar 6, 2017
A young Canadian girl, 14-years young in fact, was sexually assaulted at her high school dance…by guess who? Yes, a Syrian refugee, who was at the time also enrolled in the school.
The disgusting act took place when two Syrian refugees began by grinding on the 14-year old girl during the dance. Shortly after one of the sick boys began groping the girl’s breasts then took it upon his pervert selt to stick his hand inside her underwear and touching her female parts.
How is this happening in the middle of school dance that should be chaperoned? I do not know…
If you aren’t ticked off already over this piece of crap educators that should have been around to monitor the kids’ behavior wait until you hear what they did after…
When documents obtained in a freedom of information request revealed school officials standing up for the Syrian boy surfaced…the community was in shock.
One of the biggest asshats on the documents obtained the school’s very own vice-principal, Elaine Kilfillen, who even went as far as to express SYMPATHY for the alleged attackers, stating… that we will become a target in the student population once the rumor got out. Rumor?
The struggle for women’s rights in the World of Islam is perhaps the most alarming human rights issue in the entire world.
The concepts of honor and violence in the Islamic religion are often combined in a horrific manner.
This untold story is about the daily oppression of women across the world.
Educated and empowered women are perhaps the greatest threat to male dominance in the Islamic world. Muslim women are subjugated and persecuted and deprived of their humanity.
The silence must be broken. The whole world must wake up!
It is easy to focus on women’s rights in nations that don’t oppress women.
However, in countries where the women are not allowed to drive, how are they supposed to do anything about oppression and abuse by men?
Human Rights Organizations and Women’s Rights activists understand that the countless number of women and girls in the Muslim world need to have their honor restored.
