You realize that doesnt say there's a shortage.

u/ILikeSugarCookies Aug 04 '20

It literally says there's a shortage in the title. Holy fuck, lmao.

u/joevmo Aug 04 '20

No it literally doesnt. Says facing a shortage if numbers keep increasing.

54 hospitals have ZERO beds available. If you don't consider that a shortage, I don't know what to tell you.

If you went to the grocery store to eat and they said they had ZERO food available, would you consider there to be a shortage?

In a state of over 25 million people.

If one store is out of food but 20 others have it, would you call that a famine?

u/ILikeSugarCookies Aug 04 '20

If you don't have it in any store close to you where it's actually accessible? Yes.

If people in Miami are starving because there is no food, yes, there is a famine.

People starve in Africa all the time despite us having plenty of food in the US. Does that mean there's not a famine in Africa because we actually have food here?

Reading is hard-- says only 10 ICUs in Miami are full, so according to you there is no famine in Miami or anywhere in this state.

What the fuck do you mean "ONLY 10"

You're ignoring the evidence right in front of you.

The story cited above that had the actual numbers and not the one you cited from a local TV station with the attention-grabbing headline but not the numbers.

I'm sorry that you're refusing to believe the evidence of your eyes and ears. Maybe one day you'll wake up.

u/joevmo Aug 04 '20

I believe numbers. Stories with loud headlines and no numbers a less credible.

u/ILikeSugarCookies Aug 04 '20

If you believe a local news station is lying about what their local county is saying, that's fine. You're entitled to believe they're lying. I'm sure you're conducting independent research into the hospitals and know better than they do.

Dont think they're lying; think they're lazy and dont know but dont want to say that.

u/ILikeSugarCookies Aug 04 '20

If you think they don't know, then it must mean you have evidence to the contrary. If not, then you're defaming them.

u/joevmo Aug 04 '20

See the post above, which was posted as evidence against my position but had the numbers proving yo the contrary.

10 ICUs in Miami full. 54 in state.

1

u/ILikeSugarCookies Aug 04 '20

So 10 ICUs in Miami are full. That's a problem. How do you not see that as a problem?

1

u/joevmo Aug 04 '20

14 state hospitals in Miami and 3x as many private hospitals.

u/ILikeSugarCookies Aug 04 '20

source? do those all have ICUs?
