If there being hospitalized must be pretty sick

Not necessarily. I read an article yesterday that was written by a study harvard and a study that the VA did that found 40-45% of covid hospital admissions were for incidental cases. I.E had nothing to do with covid but they were covid positive. Individuals admitted for unrelated matters are tested. Meaning they could be admitted for a bacterial infection or car accident but they tested positive. Individuals with mild symptoms are also being admitted for observation because they had a health issue that could cause complications. If I was a hospital receiving funds for treating covid patients why would I have empty beds laying around not making me money?

that last sentence is an important one. People generally overlook the fact that hospitals are private businesses, and they make money by providing care. they require sick and injured people to function and make a profit. the more the better. damn right they don't want any empty beds.

And they lower the staff too lower the beds too keep themselves looking full…..

I watched a FOX news report not too long ago, maybe a few days ago where nearly all hospitals always maintain a 90% occupancy rate cause an empty bed cost those that own those hospitals money if empty. Over the years, hospitals have been reducing the actual number of beds and staff, much like every other corporate business of today, running much leaner and supposedly more efficient than of the past, in order to increase their profits for their share holders.

I'm sure the report could be looked up, but I'm kinda done with this whole mess and this thread more or less.

Today's news...


Not sure what to make of this and am not as smart as a smart phone...anyone?

Research 'Nanotechnology' and it will eventually make sense hopefully for you, especially when you throw in the mix of wireless 5g technology.

I was made fun of when I brought this theory up before.

Again, I really want to stay out of this thread because I'm thoroughly convinced that it's a lost cause trying to wake up people if they don't care to investigate for themselves.

Good luck to you!

If you have your Bluetooth on on your phone...it'll ping other Bluetooth devices as you walk by. This is also what drains most peoples phone batteries so fast. So this explanation could be a good one. I'm not around anyone currently to check my thoughts.

Another thing is the phones could be looking for wifi and this person has his Hotspot turned on.
