this may be a new low for slanted, hysterical journalism.
as is so often the case, the data in this very article refutes its own claims.
this is literal propaganda.

75% of hospital beds occupied!
um, this is LOW, not high. do you actually think hospitals run below 75% capacity?
can they be serious with this?
it gets worse.

2 of 17 hospitals in one county are full in ICU!
um, so 15 are not? how big are they? do they have 10 beds or 100? this is textbook "how to lie with selective truth"
meanwhile, the majority are over half full?
75-85% ICU utilization is normal
so what does this even mean?

this is palm beach. they have hospitals the way other counties have taco bells.
so i went to the actual ahca data:
palm beach county has 24% of adult ICU available. state avg is 28%.
one of the full hospitals is lakeside. they have 6 beds.
the other is bethesda with 10.

the two together have fewer ICU beds than nearby (same county) delray medical has FREE right now.
this is like claiming impending famine because your corner store is out of cold cuts and not bothering to check the grocery store down the road.

oh, and 29% of florida hospital beds are currently open.
it& #39;s 71% full, not 75.
palm beach is 31% open.
there is just nothing at all in the real data to support these hysterical claims.
they& #39;re just betting you won& #39;t check their facts.

the rest just descends into the inability to separate reported cases from testing levels and the other media scare tactics we& #39;ve come to expect
this is really grotesque. meanwhile, back where the data lives, helpful folks are noticing what BS this is: https://twitter.com/castalia_hesse/status/1274810613290676225?s=20">https://twitter.com/castalia_...

the determination to misrepresent this data is like nothing i have ever seen.
it makes climate science look like particle physics.
and this needs to stop.
this needless fear and partisan propaganda has no place in health policy. https://twitter.com/andrewbostom/status/1274677075828445184?s=20">https://twitter.com/andrewbos...
