This is a "For What It's Worth" report from Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. ABQ is the largest city in New Mexico. Population about 600,000. Throw in the adjoining areas that frequent ABQ and you're at about one million.
On Thursday, April 2, 2020, between 9:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., my wife and I took a ride and visited the five major hospitals in ABQ. The hospitals are: 1) Presbyterian Rust Westside, 2) Lovelace Hospital Westside, 3) Lovelace Hospital on Martin Luther King Blvd, 4) University of New Mexico Hospital on Lomas Blvd, and 5) Presbyterian Main Hospital on Central Ave. These are the hospitals in ABQ. (There is another hospital, Lovelace Women's Hospital on Menaul Blvd, but that is dedicated to women's special needs, such as child birth. I'll check that one out later today.) There are urgent care centers here and there, but they are not hospitals. Any COVID testing is to take place at tents set up at the hospitals in New Mexico.
I took photographs at each hospital from my truck.
Lovelace Hospital on MLK Blvd. had no tents and no activity in the emergency room. No one was coming or going, other than a few employees. No COVID testing was taking place outside of the hospital in tents, as again, there were no tents.
The other 4 hospitals had tents, but no testing was taking place at any of these hospitals in the tents. There was no one at these locations other than a few employees. They were wearing masks. There was no activity in or around any of the emergency rooms.
No emergency vehicles were coming and going at any of the hospitals. Several emergency vehicles were parked at each of them.
There were no lines for testing, not to mention no long lines. I will go so far as to say not a single person was being tested, not in the tents at least. I could see the employees and they were all standing around or walking casually to and fro.
The parking lots at each hospital was at most 1/3 full. (Or 2/3 empty if you prefer.) And, many of the cars had to belong to employees and medical staff. Presbyterian Rust Hospital had a flashing sign by the main entrance that said "No Visitors" while right adjacent to the hospital a huge construction project was underway extending and expanding the hospital.
UNM Hospital was so slow that a local TV "News" station was outside interviewing someone affiliated with the hospital who had the time to be interviewed, while right there at the scene the tents were empty and everyone was standing around. That was the same at every hospital. No testing activity at all in or around the tents.
As of yesterday, New Mexico has 331 cases being reported as COVID/SARS. (We are told by WHO and other so-called authorities that COVID-19 is the disease. SARS Cov-2 is the virus, we are told. As I understand it SARS is an old known virus. Why then are we using the term "novel" or "new"? But I digress.)
As of today, six (6) deaths have been reported in New Mexico that are allegedly due to COVID-19 disease. Many people have recovered and some are allegedly symptomatic. Of the 6 deaths, all were over 70. Most were over 80 and all had comorbidities. The most recent death was of a person over 90 who had numerous severe health issues. (In my book, death at 90 or over is death by old age.) But this person's death is being labeled COVID-19.
I'm keeping a close eye on things as best I can.
in that regard, I have volunteered to provide legal representation to people who the State of New Mexico decide need to be isolated or quarantined. If I get appointed to represent anyone, I expect to learn a lot and to ask some tough questions and make some though, thorough arguments in opposition to involuntarily isolating and quarantining people under the circumstances that exists in ABQ, New Mexico, and New Mexico at large.
