Really, What is going on? The data just doesn’t add up.
The MSM and Democrats claim there are not enough hospital beds for the current 85,000 people identified with the coronavirus, many of whom will never even enter a hospital due to their relatively minor condition. Also, in 2018-19 there were plenty of beds for the nearly 500,000 patients that spent time in hospitals due to the flu.
Via the CDC – there were 490,000 hospitalizations during the 2018-2019 flu season.
And yet the media wants you to believe the US will run out of hospital beds during the coronavirus.
It is not likely.

The data to date shows that most individuals with the coronavirus suffer from very mild conditions. The panic-driven Washington Post even reported that 82% of these individuals with the coronavirus suffer from mild conditions.
Assuming the rest require hospitalization (which is unlikely but conservative), then only 15,300 people currently require hospitalizations across the US. Of course this too is conservative because many of the cases in the US are already over and the individual is no longer suffering from the virus from China.
So the liberal Mainstream Media (MSM) wants us to believe that hospital beds will be overwhelmed by the coronavirus by 15,000 patients (so far) but a year ago the US hospitals were not overwhelmed by 500,000 flu patients.
These numbers from the media are based on the Imperial College report that warned that 2 million Americans and half a million British citizens would die from coronavirus this year.
Yesterday they backtracked on their study and now claim only 20,000 in Britain will succumb to the coronavirus.
Great Britain has 29,000 flu deaths a year on average. So now they are saying the coronavirus is less deadly than a typical flu virus.
This does not pass the smell test.
