Number of Minnesota coronavirus patients needing ICU beds reaches record high
By Zack Budryk - 05/25/20 06:48 PM EDT

The number of coronavirus patients in Minnesota needing intensive care beds reached a single-day high Monday, a spike officials said was expected.

Minnesota Health Department officials said patients needing ICU beds increased to 248 Monday. They also announced another 12 deaths, bringing the state total to 881. The previous single-day high for intensive care bed usage, 233, occurred Friday, with the number dipping again to 207 by Sunday.

“This is an expected trend,” Jennifer DeCubellis, CEO of Hennepin Healthcare, which oversees Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC), told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. “We anticipated that social distancing would allow health systems time to get space, staff, and supplies in place in order to be better prepared for higher volumes — but that the volumes would still increase, ideally at a slower and more manageable pace.”

The additional 41 ICU beds filled also marked a single-day increase for Minnesota since the pandemic began. The previous record for an increase was on May 16, when the number of beds in use increased by 25 to 225.

DeCubellis said HCMC had established an ICU surge area last week in anticipation of a spike.

The Minnesota shutdown began 70 days ago.  Yet only now is their need for ICU beds peaking?  Looks like the citizens of Minnesota have been fed a whole lot of BS as their economy has been wrecked by zealous state executives who have overstepped the limits of their authority.

Row 30 of this online spreadsheet gives a really big clue to what's been happening in MN, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ETm51GayRjlnoaRVtUOWfkolEeAQZ-zPhXkCbVe4_ik/edit#gid=435667374 . More than 81% of Covid-19 deaths were nursing home patients! I don't know whether MN's goobernor did a Cuomo to MN's nursing homes or a lot of nursing were incredibly careless about protecting patients, but ... DAMN!

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

It is as if state government officials were trying to eliminate those who were a burden upon the state.
