COVID-positive Vermonters with no symptoms clog up ERs

[excalibur]

Is anyone surprised? Look at who they vote for.

Some Vermonters who are able to find antigen tests and then test positive are clogging up emergency rooms.

The emergency department at the Rutland Regional Medical Center has been overwhelmed with asymptomatic folks.

Dr. Rick Hildebrant is RRMC’s medical director. He says some people who test positive with a rapid test go to the emergency room looking for a PCR test.

The Vermont Hospital Association says it’s hearing similar stories from other parts of the state.

Hildebrant says those who are asymptomatic and receive a positive antigen test should stay home and reach out to their primary care provider.

He says the only time to go to the ER is if you have a positive test and are very sick.

Hildebrant says the flood of asymptomatic people is preventing others in need of immediate care from getting it.

Guess the FEAR PORN is working.

Oh goody now the lying left can moan about covid patients in hallways and the parking lot.

All going according to plan.....Just wait till those home test kits arrive in America's mailbox. It's just another gambit by the dems to shut the country down again and manipulate the 2022 election.

Fun times ahead.

So no, they are not being admitted to the ER.

Beyond their wildest dreams.
Covid is a hypochondriacs wet dream.

The tests are bogus-not valid.

What a farce. Maybe some of this rich guy's friends can just "call their doctor", but that is not how healthcare works for most people.

The reason they are coming to the ER is because they CAN'T just "call their doctor" and say they need a PCR test right away.

Healthcare in this country is a farce.

You beat me to it, Bro. That's exactly what's gonna happen. More free government tests, more "OMFG!! I gots duh Rona virus, I just knows it!!!"

 

[Calypso Jones]

I wonder....how many times in history have men seized control of areas by frigtening the populace into thinking they were going to die.

 

[Esdraelon]

So no, they are not being admitted to the ER.

BS... it is illegal to summarily turn ANYONE AWAY from an ER before they are evaluated.

 

[MarathonMike]

Tipsycatlover Exactly why Brandon is sending out 500 million Covid test kits.

Who is controlling him?

That's the $64.00 question.

You goat ropers certainly are foolish to believe that the election was stolen. I am embarrassed for you. The lack of proof should speak volumes to you. As far as shutting down the country, that isn't going to happen. Trumpsters are dying at a faster rate than Democrats so I think the Dems will just ride it out!

So you admit it's politicized eh ? Trumpsters verses Dims eh ? You actually think that their won't be enough conservatives left to get out an vote, and end the clown show that's got the whole world laughing or worse crying for us ?

Can contact my DR thru mychart. Would bet there is something similar nationwide

The hospitals should set up an additional screening station and tell these people to home and make a bowl chicken soup
