“People are dying from COVID even though they don’t have COVID” So says an MD
In a case of irony that I’m sure escapes her, this doctor then goes on to say that people are dying of “misinformation.”
From KARE11 in Minneapolis;
COVID-19 hospitalizations are rising at a steep pace across all areas of Minnesota, and though they have yet to hit last year’s devastating peak, doctors and nurses say they already feel like they’re on the edge of a cliff.
“I did not realize that it could get worse, but here we are,” said Dr. Sara Spilseth, Chief of Staff at Regions Hospital, where the number of hospitalized COVID patients has doubled in just two weeks. “People are dying from COVID even though they don’t have COVID. They are dying from COVID because our hospitals are so full of COVID patients that we can’t take care of anything else.” [Emphasis added]
…
“It’s heartbreaking,” she said. “While they might be dying from COVID, really, they’re dying from misinformation. If they would have had the opportunity to do it all over again, the vast majority of them would opt for the shot.”
So which is it, Doctor (not just Doctor, but the chief of staff for a large metropolitan hospital)? Are they dying from misinformation or COVID without having COVID? If, in your mind, people are dying from COVID without having COVID, are those deaths being reported as COVID-related?
And she sits there and wonders why people are hesitant. This is the ranking doctor in a building full of doctors and she sounds like Jen Psaki trying to spin Biden’s latest gaffe into something coherent.
The Stupid! It burns us!
Yeah it burns US, but it won’t keep us warm this winter..well…maybe that under the collar part.

WTF, over?
KARE 11 is a very left leaning station. I live up here in Minnesota. Everyone around here has been going about our business pretty much the way we have before this whole pile of bullshit started, and I don’t think any of us are ready to go back to our governor’s “well thought out” preventative measures for stemming the virus, and getting us to that leveled out transmission, cure rate.
In fact, this is the first I’ve heard of hospitals being over run with new covid cases.
I tought it was a play on KAREN of some sort.
If the callsign fits…..
I’m thinking that the hospitals are “over run” because of lack of staff, either through quitting/firing due to not wanting to take The Jab.
I’m wondering what happened? I had all this lovely food and drink and I put it in my mouth and chewed it or drank and swallowed it and then it went into my body and got processed and then it came out as PISS AND SHIT?!?!? What?? I’m shocked, SHOCKED I tell you.
I just don’t understand…
Well this explains it. This is what the Demoncrats (and a few Republitards) and the Left think…
So let me get this strait: Unvaccinated people who are admitted to the hospital after a severe motorcycle or car crash, or gunshot wound, or stabbed in the heart are dying because of misinformation, and not because of the injuries they sustained that contributed to the actual cause of death?
(Rhetorical question…)
Mississippi convicted murder David Neal Cox just rode the gurney to the great beyond, the State’s first execution in 10 years.
He didn’t die from Covid.
Lethal Injection is a comorbidity.
As a Signal guy I would have gone with Old Sparky.
Yup, they shoulda let him “ride the lightening.” But I still prefer a fine hemp rope. The “big sleep,” as Ren Hoek would say, is for sick dogs and cats.
I look at lethal injection as putting a convicted murderer down like someone does a mean dog.
Look at the paperwork………
Neither did Jeffrey Epstein
Sorry, but I feel this article is a bit misleading. The Dr. phrased it poorly, but the crux of the issue she is pointing out is that an increased number of COVID cases is tying up hospital resources, which is something they’ve complained about over and over again. Therefore, when other individuals suffer non-COVID injuries (e.g., car crash, nail gun accident, banana peel slip), there are no available hospital beds/resources to treat them. So there aren’t any people without COVID actually dying of COVID.
However, the real sad part here (and what I think we should be focused on) is that the hospitals, after 2 years of epidemic under their belts, still haven’t adapted their planning and procedures to account for possible surges. COVID-19 won’t be the last epidemic we face and if they can’t even handle these minor jumps, the outlook is extremely bleak for when a major pandemic breaks out (major pandemic in my mind being something that kills at least 1 out of every 100 or so, regardless of how healthy they are).
Is the tying up of hospital resources due to too many patients? Or not enough staff? (see my comment above)
100% not enough staff. As we’re talking about the industry I’m in, I can say with complete certainty that in addition to the very small surge capacity that most hospitals have to begin with (average day, pre-covid was 70-80% of beds utilized, ICU’s are even worse, running 85-90% on average), every system I know of is hemorrhaging staff due to vax mandates, and closing units / wings / beds due to that, so instead of 20-30% surge capacity, they’re down to maybe 10% (for fact challenged individuals like the seagull, that means if the hospital has 200 beds, they might have 20 open ones, WITHOUT covid patients..
Another thing to consider is that the hospitals like to run at near capacity. They want to have open beds for emergencies obviously, but a bed with a butt in it is money. If the hospital was half-empty it wouldn’t generate enough revenue to stay in business.
Hospitals are always triaging patients out when they need the space. Now is no different.
What is truly remarkable is that with about 60% of the population already vaccinated, plus the percentage who have already had Covid and recovered, the hospitals still claim to be overflowing with Covid cases.
This Covid clusterfuck has been so screwed up by politics, ignorance, hysteria, and incompetence that we will probably never know what is going on.
And yet, when provided with tent hospitals and hospital ships, hardly anyone goes there. Odd.
Folks do remember that little factoid.
The news doesn’t seem to name many names. Just mostly reporting “I heard someone say somewhere it was so. Fear! Obey your betters!”
The Panic Porn Purveyors won’t ever admit they are grossly exaggerating the situation. Also,those who panic will go to absurd lengths to deny their panic and rationalize their irrational outbursts.
Of course, if you point out the exaggerations, the Panic Porn Purveyors accuse you of being a “conspiracy theorist” (oooo! You are badthink!) and of claiming that “Covid isnt real” which no one ever really claims.
The assholes demanding your obedience can’t do Jack Shit to control or mitigate this ChiComCoof crap, and if they can keep you all panicked, they can get you accustomed to obeying their failed and ever-failing schemes.
The “crackdown” places do rather poorly compared to “meh, it’s not that big a deal” places.
” never let a crisis go to waste” said no freedom lover, ever.
“We didn’t get your obedience hard enough! More will fix it! And more still! Just a bit more obedience to your betters to finally solve these problems we are -not- creating! It’s not our fault! Obey!!”
The only way to cure this is more mostly peaceful riots on behalf of George Floyd, because apparently none of the thousands of people participating in those events caught or spread the COVID virus.
Yes, all that murdering, looting, burning, and beat downs just stops the virus cold, in its tracks. They need to double down on that in all the big D-rat controlled major cities, instead of their lock downs and mandates.
BUT, ITS TEH COVID!!! WE NEED TO QUARANTINE AND CONTINUE TO WEAR 10 MASKS EVERYWHERE!!! IT’S ALL ABOUT CONTROLLING YOU FILTHY LITTLE PEOPLE FROM CONTAMINATING ME!!!!

P.S. Let’s go Brandon!
899k cases listed on their site with 46 deaths in the last 30 days. Most ever hospitalized in the state, 1728. Her hospital has 506 beds,,,all private rooms…meaning they could all house single contagion patients. Oh yeah, they’ve done 8m vaccinations on a population of 5.8m, and she thinks they’re under-vaccinated. Oh yeah, smoking the gange hard in the Mn/Sp area. They’re over 100% vaccinated and being slammed. Seems like a genuine case of too much wishing the vaccine worked and not enough working. For me, it was 6 weeks of shitting and pissing blood. O2 went down as low as 72. Did I go to a hospital?? Oh hell no! When I die, It’ll be right here at the house, same as my wife.
