As they thunderously certify the Biden/Harris sweep, "our free press" is also

now setting a new COVID-19 panic wildfire—a key motif in their propaganda

symphony of fear (to urge compliance) and anger (to divide us).

So is the US hospital "system" under "strain"—"again"—because of COVID-19?

Well, let's take Ohio, since, as Ohio goes, so goes the nation (as happened in

the 2004 election). Today's WSJ overview of systemic "strain" mentions Ohio,

the Columbus Dispatch piece (along with other Ohio media) highlights it, and

Gov. DeWine—a COVID-19 hardliner—will be addressing it tonight.

Why? Or, rather, what is "it," exactly? According to Ohio's official figures (not

yet changed or blacked out to accommodate this propaganda line), the vast

majority of ICU patients in the Buckeye State are under treatment not for

COVID-19 but other maladies. (Scroll down to "Current Confirmed COVID-19

Patient Count in Ohio Hospitals by Day.")

"Our free press" is an existential threat.
