You're so funny
Here's the thing: Even if I knew he was who he says he is, it still doesn't mean what he's saying is true. And I have no way of knowing either.
What I do know is that we're getting a lot of bad information from critters who cannot be trusted.
And I know that if you had anything of substance to add, you would have added it already.
He could be an Hospital Orderly. No medical knowledge whatsoever .
Who knows.

It will be exposed when numbers for non virus deaths drop off drastically. At that point nobody with an average IQ will believe the virus related death numbers. If someone dies of kidney failure but had stage 4 cancer in hospice, with healthy kidneys before the cancer they did not die of kidney failure. They died of fvcking cancer. A lot of this nonsense is being posted already thankfully of this medical slight of hand.

More and more of these whistleblowing nurses will come out, but I don't know if it'll be enough to gain some media traction since it goes against what the media is pushing currently.
Maybe but he is standing in a room full of unused respirators,. is he not?

The rest of your points are valid, but the hospital workers making dance videos is a nothingburger. Even in the most serious of situations, eventually you'll find 5 minutes to do something silly.
But it's not just "5 minutes" is it? It took time and energy to choreograph, rehearse and perform these dance routines.
And while it may be a "nothingburger" to YOU, I expect it's much more than that to the countless people who have been denied necessary medical care because "CoV." Especially those whose loved ones have DIED because they could not get life-saving medical care. And the many sick people who have been told to go home and come back when they start turning blue.
But, hey, glad it's a "nothingburger" to YOU. I'm so glad YOUR conscience isn't burdened with the suffering of others. Maybe all those sick and dying folks need to stop being so selfish and just enjoy these silly videos from the healthcare providers with nothing better to do...
You're missing the point. Whether it took 5 minutes or 20, the fact of the matter is hospital staff are like firefighters or police in a way, sometimes there's downtime because there's not enough patients at that particular time to occupy their time. That doesn't mean those people aren't needed, because someone could need help at any point. You have to have people on hand at all times. The fact that they had time to make a video is not, in and of itself, evidence that they have too much free time on their hands. They're supposed to have free time on their hands, at times. Their manpower is set up that way, even when it's being properly utilized.
Don't mistake me pointing out that fact for any kind of defense of what's been going on here. I absolutely agree this has been overblown, and people have been harmed by these shutdowns, including the kind of folks you mentioned who haven't been able to get needed care from hospitals because "covid."
Don't get so defensive.
Indeed, that very scenario may have contributed to the spread of COVID-19 within a Washington state nursing home that became ground zero in the United States. First responders called to the Life Care Center of Kirkland starting Feb. 24 initially used positive airway pressure machines, often known as CPAPs, to treat residents before it was known the patients were infected with COVID-19.
"It's best practice for us for people with respiratory illnesses," said Jim Whitney, medical services administrator for the Redmond Fire Department, whose crews responded to the nursing home's 911 calls. "We had no idea that we potentially had COVID patients there."
It was only later that King County public health officials advised Redmond Fire and other first responders in the region not to use those machines for patients suspected of having COVID-19 infections. Whitney said responders were using the machines with specialized filters, which can reduce the amount of virus released. But county public health authorities recommend that first responders avoid using CPAP machines altogether. Redmond Fire has now discontinued use of CPAPs for COVID patients.
"It's truly out of an abundance of caution for our people and for the community that we put it on the back shelf, unless we can confirm it was the best use for our patient," Whitney said.
“The misstep represents a classic example of how the health care system is playing catch-up in its effort to deal with the rapidly escalating pandemic, and how critical information about combating the novel coronavirus can be slow to reach those on the front lines.
The American Society of Anesthesiologists issued guidance on Feb. 23 discouraging CPAP use in COVID-19 patients — advice largely informed by experience with the SARS epidemic in 2003. Studies dating to 2003 suggest that such devices can pump viruses into the air, potentially increasing the spread of a contagious disease.
During the SARS outbreak in Toronto, half of all SARS cases, including three deaths, occurred among health care workers. Some of the greatest risk arose when doctors and nurses were exposed to aerosolized virus through the use of positive airway pressure machines or other respiratory therapy devices.
Cuomo made it impossible to sue.
I would NEVER go to a hospital with this.

At this point either it wasn’t very contagious or millions have had it and didn’t even know it making it not very deadly at all. Either way the reaction from our governments, large swaths of the population and the media has screwed everyone regardless if you were gonna be effected by Coronavirus or not. Thanks a lot everybody, I hope your false sense of safety was worth destroying not only our futures but our kids futures as well.
That's a lot of cheap talk. Go visit an hospital without a mask, wait 2 weeks and come back.

Nurse Admits Virus Is A Lie
I checked the forums to see if this has been brought up on here already but nothing came up, so if it's a double post my apologies.
So what I gathered from this nurse here is that apparently the shortage of ventilators isn't a thing, a least in that hospital, and that they're being told NOT to use the procedures and machines they would use before a ventilator. What is the percentage of deaths that occur while on a ventilator, wasn't it somewhere around 80%? He also mentions something that's been brought up a lot recently and that is the act of correlating deaths to covid-19 no matter how the patient actually died or what they died from. And according to a comment on that video, there has been more of these videos but they keep getting deleted. Weird uncertain times.
But they don’t because they have jobs and want to keep them - so they continue to help “save patients” while on the back end they generate the data to keep the country closed down and they know it.

What if it's worse? What if government and medical officials actually caused deaths by their official acts and rules and protocol??? What if the death rates should have been much lower? What if they would have been much lower without certain actions... and inactions?
Would anyone believe such evil?
