1. Omg!

They'd better reserve beds for others.

2. Brought to us in Central Ohio by:

We need to set up wall tent cities for these people and give a cot, a mattress, a pillow,
food & water, all the pain killers they want and do not let them leave the tent city until
they are dead or have gotten over it and they have the antibodies that will help stop the
virus.

i am so over this shit.

3. 3 bad car crashes, cardiac arrests, strokes, little kid doing little kid stupid shit, ....

[Texaswitchy]

4. Yes.

I would just give them two blankets.

One to sleep on on the ground, and one to cover with.

[Botany]

5. No give 'em a cot and a mattress that can become a little coffin with a hook on one end where they..

... can take the whole thing as one unit and then burn or bury it. If 50,000 of these idiots want to
die in central OH let 'em.

[Texaswitchy]

7. A body bag.

Yeah.

[Botany]

8. I'm done with these assholes.

Good God in Butter do they think if they yell enough, pray to their Jesus-Baby enough, blame
"the lab in China" enough, and or blame the lib-tards enough the virus will give a shit?

BTW the idea that Ohio State is not demanding to see vaccination cards or apps before going into
the stadium for a football game is insane.

[Texaswitchy]

9. Some bad days are coming.

People will have to die at home.

10. No beds left in ICU-yea, lets fill up stadiums with

tens of thousands of people. And where are those people going to end up if they get infected? Not in ICU, since there are no beds left. Lets put some beds into the stadium and put them there!

[Texaswitchy]

11. Just as well.

Plenty space.

13. Speaking of stadiums, Tulsa v Ohio State, Sat 18 Sept, 102,780 seats

in the Ohio State stadium.
College football is tbe civic religion of this city and area.

What could go wrong?
🤦‍♀️

[LisaL]

14. If they get infected, there are not going to be

ICU beds to put them in. Masks are not required "outside." However people are so close to each other and they are screaming.
I really question the wisdom of having full stadiums for sports games when hospitals are full.

6. Emailing Governor Whitmer of MI in this case.

No out of staters in MI hospitals!

[gratuitous]

12. No problem for Ohio or Texas or Florida or Idaho

As long as there are nearby states run by Democrats, there should be ample ICU space for their overflow cases. That's just the way it works in our little corner of Heaven otherwise known as the United States.

15. Current Status in NEO...

ER boarding patients (waiting on a bed) for 2 days.

16. Cleveland? Akron?
