😷 (The #Covid19 China virus was created in a Lab.
The CV19 was never intended to have a high death count, just enough cases and death to use the global mass media to hype and weaponize the .02 death rate. CV19 has a very low death rate lower than flu.

💉 CV19 was created as an excuse to roll out the global jabb / shot / gene therapy modification - so called "vaccine" for CV19, the jabb is the actual Bio-Weapon 'Kill Shot!' - as we can see here in EC, our CV19 numbers are rising as the vaxx is being more effectively distributed. ..and the false blame being on the Brazilian Variant is actually the uptick in the EC Vaxx Program!)☠️

06 MAY 2021- ☣️ 'Patients from other provinces fill beds in intensive care units in Azuay and Loja-

"The increase of covid-19 patients and the referral of patients from other provinces have contributed to the collapse of public and private hospitals in Cuenca and Loja. For the last month, there have been no beds in the intensive care units (ICU).

In this last upturn, the health centers of both cities receive a large number of critical patients from the provinces of Zamora Chinchipe, El Oro, Morona Santiago and, in some cases, even from Guayas and Pichincha. Last weekend, for example, 16 of the 27 patients at the Santa Inés Hospital in Cuenca were from Loja and Zamora.

Fifteen days ago, 30 patients from the Loja canton of Celica were treated, including the mayor, Oswaldo Román. According to the manager of this private hospital, Julio Tamayo, he receives phone calls from people from other parts of the country requesting ICU beds, but they are no longer available. "We have had up to 80% of patients hospitalized from other provinces".

The sentinel hospitals Vicente Corral Moscoso and José Carrasco (IESS) in Cuenca also receive patients from other areas, although their authorities do not give occupancy figures by origin. Some arrive transferred and others are admitted by triage.

For the manager of the Vicente Corral Hospital, Iván Feicán, this complicates the situation because they cannot deny services to anyone and cannot meet the demand from Azuay. "As a zonal, we have patients from La Troncal, Sucúa, Macas, Gualaceo, Loja, among other cities."

The panorama is similar in the sentinel hospitals Isidro Ayora and Manuel Ignacio Montero, in the capital of Loja. In addition to patients from the province, they receive seriously infected patients from all the nine cantons of Zamora Chinchipe and from the highlands of El Oro. Last Friday, in Zamora Chinchipe the first ICU ward was inaugurated in the Basic Hospital of Yantzaza, which has 12 beds.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, seriously ill patients were transferred to Azuay, Loja and El Oro, mainly. Three mining companies invested USD 1,020,000 in the acquisition of the beds and their respective equipment such as ventilators, gas analyzers and defibrillators. The Prefecture contributed USD 24,000 for the adaptation of the physical spaces in the hospital.

Despite this investment, the hospital manager of the IESS hospital in Loja, Ricardo Bueno, said that there is still no decongestion of patients in the capital of Loja. "The ICUs are still full and it is too early to see results because the contagions continue to increase rapidly."

He considered that this situation is due to the presence of new variants of coronavirus. In Loja, a month ago, the first patient with the Brazilian variant was identified; and in Cuenca, four days ago, the New York variant.

The manager of the IESS of Loja, Ricardo Bueno, informed that more young people are hospitalized because they are more contagious and aggressive strains which cause pathological complications and resistance to treatment.

Tamayo agreed. "The patients arrive with critical conditions and due to the late medical management, treatment becomes complicated, many of them die".

He mentioned that last week a 24-year-old patient was discharged, but another one, aged 32, died. Tamayo explained that before the patient registered symptoms and started treatment, but now when they show symptoms the lungs are already infected.

In addition, he said that when a critical patient arrives from another province, he is accompanied by a family member, "who could be infected, and that means that there are more people exposed to the virus in the cities where they are treated".

The doctors of Azuay and Loja are also concerned about the shortage of special drugs, which are used in patients who are intubated." -
