  1. Phase 3 of the Chinademic lol, run hurry get your boosters!

  2. 'Tripledemic'? CHA CHING $$$$$
    Let It Rain fauci dollars.

  3. Most of the patients early on would have lived if the nurses weren't busy choreographing dances for tik tok.

  4. Who still believes the fearmongering propaganda?

  5. So same as 2 years ago. Categorize all illnesses as covid even though it's not, force a stay at home for an illness that's 97% survivable and close down the economy so government gets to play with the new omnibus bill they passed and really screw with the economy. Yeah, been there done that and Chinas zero covid worked so great that covid shouldn't have been able to exist after 2 years yet it's still around. Bravo! Great job stoking the fear again 😉

  6. The Trump Administration just keeps on giving. I miss the good old days of the Trump Administration when everything was Obamas fault for the entire four years.

  7. The hospital looks empty to me

  8. I thought Ramsey just went everywhere lol. And

  9. Blame Ron Dis-Science 4 'mask does nothing' & vaccines could be dangerous 4 US

  10. Add the migrants not being screened…..

  11. There is nothing to fear but it’s important to be informed.

    If you feel sick, contact your local doctor for instructions.

    Stay informed by checking your locally elected health department website.

    Don’t let hatred, politics or misinformation from strangers distract you.

  12. Tripledemic…? NO. Pentademic/Polydemic! You're forgetting:

    -Flu
    -COVID
    -RSV
    -Stupidity
    -Issues with Dope/drugs/weed

  13. Hospital's are overwhelmed with people who took the poison.

  14. 2020: Bogus19 the lockdown

    2021: Bogus19 2 rise of the variants

    2022: Bogus19 3 tripledemic

    2023: Bogus19 4 alien invasion

  15. Same headline different day

  16. Most likely from the "safe and effective" vaccine.

  17. TRIPLEDEMIC sounds like a Taco Bell menu item.

  18. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

  19. What do you Expect when you wear a mask for two years and weakens your immune system

  20. I just saw a report saying that the flu numbers were stabilizing, so it should just be a "doubledemic" now. We didn't get to a quint-plague burger with cheese this time around and the climax of all of this was pretty flat. I expected to see footage of people in Santa hats dying on the table while All I Want for Christmas is You plays in the background. Christmas 2022 was boring and it sucked.

  21. That registered nurse knows health. At almost 300lbs.

  22. Beef up staff now, China is set to open Jan 8th!

  23. I just hope they don't start dragging out a lot of those make shift morgues again like they did in the winter of 2020. That was not only scary, but awful as well.

  24. Anyone notice how many of these health care workers faces are buried in computers?
    As a recently retired critical care nurse, I can state that FAR too much time is spent with repetitive computer documentation rather than direct patient care.
    As health care becomes more complex this unnecessary burden will increase for nurses as well as other health care professionals and will lead to less time at the bedside.

  25. "Tripledemic Overwhelming U.S. Hospitals" so let's "Convince It Forward"

  26. Many Chinese tourists will come to the US now, during Chinese New Year ….it may further complicate the situation

  27. This didn't happen last year because most common since school districts
    had the kids wearing mask when in closed areas together. The MAGA rejects screamed and cried about it now look what its caused.

  28. lol They're trying so hard to keep us afraid. I've had the vaccine and I got covid twice after. RSV and the flu rise because you idiiots decided to keep your masks on. Don't get the shot, exercise, and eat right and you'll be just fine.

  29. I'm still glad I left the medical field June of last year. I can't imagine going back to this again.

  30. We all going to die again ?

  31. 1.1 million Americans have died of Covid and more than 400 are still dying every day. If this doesn't stop, America will get wiped out on Earth pretty soon.

  32. Mask up your Kids and let em join a Drag Queen Show ❤👍💋

  33. Oh stop we’re not buying the BS.

  34. Yay…more tik-tok nurses….GTFOH! we're not falling for this B.S. anymore.

  35. Bologna virus is back!
    I'm unvaccinated and alive and well!

  36. Man msm still trying to scare the crap outta y’all. 🤡

  37. Whoever holds a trump card , throw them out of the hospital ..

  38. I smell another lockdown.

  39. TRIPLE DEMIC PEOPLE !!!!
    TRIPLE DEMIC !!!
    Next up….
    The Quadzilla !!!!

  40. resident evil outbreak file 3 is real LOL

  41. Free vaccines are available to (greatly) reduce the chances of your getting sick enough to need hospitalization. Only fools refuse to get them.
