I'm fairly certain the whole "hospitals are full of COVID patients" is bullshit because they are just reserving beds for people that aren't there.

However, do we have any evidence I can use in conversation?

My hospital has 208 bed, and never hit over 13 Covid patients. We were full, but due too massive amounts of psych and untreated health conditions

So in other words, hospitals are always full anyway, and people always die from something or other because of hospitals being full? And the fact that this time they're "full of COVID patients" (because 3 people with COVID took the 3 remaining beds) and that "people are dying from COVID because the hospitals are full" (instead of dying from something else because the hospitals are full) is just a selective use of words?

More so the lockdowns and constant fear mongering has Er departments so overloaded that it’s being blamed on “Covid”. When you have 5 beds being taken up in an er for suicidal ideation and only 3 for Covid then it’s pretty obvious what the issue is. This combined with pushing back health treatments because of Covid policy is showing why we should never have let government dictate healthcare.

Oh yeah, I've been waiting to see suicide statistics for 2020 and 2021 since Q1 last year. I wonder how the number of extra suicide deaths/hospitalisations is going to compare to the number of COVID deaths/hospitalisations. I wonder if the government will find a way to blame the extra suicide deaths on something else.

I had a co-worker tell me her father works in a hospital, and they were expecting 9,000 daily dead in my state by 2 weeks ago.

I showed her that such a number is physically impossible, but it makes me wonder if the hospital staff are being lied to.

I'm sure there is plenty, but unless it's been bookmarked, it's going to be difficult to find.
Here's a pretty good one:

A couple others from a quick search:
https://floridapolitics.com/archives/445208-accusations-of-lying-fly-on-covid-19-hospitalization-numbers/
https://mondestuff.com/world-news/congressional-wannabe-debby-burnett-caught-lying-on-twitter-about-working-at-hospital-full-of-covid-patients/

 

Maybe I'll take the time later to actually delve deeper and find the ones I've come across, but they've been caught lying many times.
The best example is that almost every state had field hospitals erected at the beginning, or, in the case of CA and NY, had Medical Ships that served as hospitals parked right off a port.
None of those were ever used and eventually were taken down. If the assertion that "hospitals are full and overwhelmed" were true, it seems wildly irresponsible for all of these places to get rid of those field hospitals that were built.

This has been my argument so far. If the hospitals are over-burdened, re-open all the field hospitals you created. I remember them pulling the USS Mercy to help in NYC... and even then it wasn't used.
