Jessica Hockett has done a deep dive into what went on in New York, and she keeps getting railroaded on her FOI requests on hospital bed occupancy and death certificates in the "ground zero" of the COVID disaster.

There was an increase in death rates, and most of it was hospital and nursing home deaths. Nursing homes, because perhaps they were not sent to hospitals during lockdown and in hospitals due to "hospital protocols" rather than a "dangerous novel virus" doing the job itself.

And it can't be underrated the constant fear and panic narratives hammered into the public for years.

Exactly. The CDC mandated protocols were lethal.

Their protocols nearly killed me, my doctor refused to treat my double pneumonia because it was " viral " then I was coughing so hard I blew a hole in my lung and collapsed it. 12 days in the hospital with a chest tube!😡

Former son in law was a Navy nurse on the Mercy docked in NYC, and he said they were never busy, at most ~100 patients, and most not with covid. Meanwhile, crew was billeted in NYC hotels when not on duty, and not even allowed to leave their rooms.

Just more oddness and weirdness.

We should be able to find a ton of anecdotal reports on EMT's first responders, doctors, and nurses, all harried and over-worked due to COVID in NYC.

There are some stories to this effect. but most of what I remember early on the nurse in NYC who struggled with the protocols employed during Covid, not the disease itself. A lot of times, intubation was attractive because the workers felt afraid they would catch Covid.

Yes my mother died completely alone in a hospital room. It enrages me how many people made millions and didn’t give a rat’s patootie about all the people they basically killed.

I did get to experience that loneliness during my four-month stay at the hospital in 2021-2022. At one point around Christmas, there was an uptake in Covid patients and they restricted visitation for about two weeks. I could contact others during that time and did, but I see now far more on the patient end the value of those who came to visit me.

I was not hospitalized for Covid but for recovery from an amputation due to Long Diabetes, which I was diagnosed with back in 2016, but suspected much longer.

There have been many whistleblowers who have witnessed outright euthanasia! Zip tied to beds, unfed for weeks, administered death drugs like morphine and remdesivir. Taking very ill to nursing homes to spread the “love”. It was a very dark and horrible time in our history! How staff could turn into such beasts, I cannot imagine.

A read of The Gulag Archipelago will give you the answer.

I have seen a lot of the videos of nurses who witnessed these events and families who endured them. The most heart-breaking were the ones where the parents were separated from special needs children or elderly who were senile, or had other areas of incapacity.
