They decided that the small number of cars outside the Provo facility was evidence that the pandemic is a hoax. They entered the hospital with video cameras seeking to film what they believed would be an equally empty ICU.
Its conspiracy theorists that believe what theyre being told is not accurate, hospital administrator Kyle Hansen told the Provo city council last week. Theyre determined to videotape and capture the proof of that by accessing our facilities. Weve had some people get really creative in how theyve lied about coming in for an appointment or other things.
None of the intruders seem to have gained entry to the ICU. But had they succeeded, they would have only been able to document it was in fact at full capacity, with a brave and dedicated staff under great physical and emotional strain. Had the intruders been less deluded they might have understood that the small number cars in the parking lot is explained by posted restrictions on visitors that are standard at hospitals during the pandemic. COVID-19 is not some minor illness where you might drive yourself to the hospital and leave your car outside for a few hours.
Theyre idiots, Bryan Grossman (widower of a CONVID-19 patient) told The Daily Beast on Tuesday, adding, The hospital is filled with COVID people. COVID patients who dont have cars
I just dont understand people sometimes.

Would someone in a position of power who deliberately pushes these theories while knowing better be diagnosed as a sociopath?

(2,188 posts)There is no bottom for this type of scum. These subhuman assholes are fascist terrorists and should be treated as such. Enough of this "what's wrong with some people?" attitude about these evil bastards. They deserve no hint of credibility and should be dealt with using a zero tolerance method.

(4,723 posts)I keep hearing them cite few cars being in the lot as one proof that this is a hoax. FUCKING SHIT, you idiots! They keep visitors to a minimum. Many hospitals are sending anyone they can to work from home, to keep staff exposure down. Stupid, stupid brainwashed idiots. This is to say nothing of the MASSIVE level of coordination it would take to pull off a hoax of this size. Thousands of doctors, Thousands of Nurse Practioners, Physician's Assistants, RNs, CNAs. Billing and coding staffs. Health care executives. Hospice providers. Insurance company workers. Hundreds of thousands of people pretending to be sick. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TO BE IN ON THIS! Literally, the utter STUPIDITY of this hoax crap is breathtaking. Fucking breathtaking.

(484 posts)when the f%$k is a hospital parking lot empty?!?!
We have a major hospital less than a mile from our house. Weve lived here for 30+ years. Weve both been in that hospital for minor and major issues or to visit patients. Those lots were only semi-empty from the middle of the night to the early morning during normal times. The rest of the time there were only a few open spots or you ended up driving up and down aisles until someone left.
An empty parking lot means something unusual is going on...like a flipping pandemic, maybe????
Im so done with these idiots. Dont let them in, nothing will convince them. There was that South Dakota ER nurse a couple of days ago who said some of them dont believe when theyre dying of Covid!!!!

The amazing thing is that most of them are highly educated, and doing well financially. I blame the mormon church (small m intentionally) for making it a one decision race. Vote against women's rights & the ability to control her own body.
I am so fucking glad I'm gone from Utah, just for the stupidity, not the scenery.

At a certain point, you just want to give up on certain segments of humanity.
