Military to Assist Michigan with Coronavirus Surge After Gov. Whitmer Seeks Help

Amy Furr 26 Nov 2021

The federal government plans to send 44 military medical workers to Michigan to assist hospitals treating coronavirus patients during a fourth surge that has become the worst in the nation, according to state health officials.

“It also will open beds at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Detroit for transfers. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer sought the assistance at the request of the Michigan Health & Hospital Association,” the Associated Press (AP) reported Wednesday.

The two groups of 22 physicians, nurses, and respiratory therapists are scheduled to arrive next week and tend patients for 30 days inside Beaumont Hospital located in Dearborn, and Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids, the health department explained.

Over 4,100 individuals had been hospitalized with confirmed or suspected coronavirus cases as of Wednesday, the AP report said, adding that the number of hospitalized adults who had confirmed illnesses was 3,900, which is 87 percent more than one month ago and approximately 94 percent of the state’s record high that was reached in April.

“Right now, our doctors and nurses are reporting the vast majority of their patients are unvaccinated or have not yet received a booster dose,” the governor noted in a recent statement.

“We can all do our part to help reduce the strain on our hospital systems by getting vaccinated, making an appointment to get a booster dose and continuing to take precautions to keep ourselves and loved ones safe,” she added.

Last week, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) announced an indoor mask advisory for residents two years old and up before the holiday season, regardless of their vaccination status.

Military Stepping In as Hospital Situation In Michigan Becomes ‘Dire’

Martin Walsh  |  November 29, 2021

Joe Biden’s administration is sending medical personnel from the U.S. military to support two hospital systems in the state of Michigan.  .  .  .

 .  .  .  “I’m grateful that the federal government has granted our request to provide much-needed relief to the health care personnel who have remained on the frontlines of this pandemic,” Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said.

“Right now, our doctors and nurses are reporting the vast majority of their patients are unvaccinated or have not yet received a booster dose. We can all do our part to help reduce the strain on our hospital systems by getting vaccinated, making an appointment to get a booster dose, and continuing to take precautions to keep ourselves and loved ones safe.”

Note how the goal posts have moved.  WHitler is blaming 'unvaccinated' people for the rise in cases.  But she now considers double-jabbed people who only weeks ago were considered 'fully vaccinated' [sic] as now being the same as "unvaccinated".

majority of their patients are unvaccinated or have not yet received a booster dose.

I want the numbers?  How many are unvaxxed?  How many were jabbed and got sick?
