Coronavirus Fact-Check #19: Did the NHS REALLY “come close to collapse”?

The UK’s Covid Inquiry just published their third module report, and as per usual the headlines have become hyper focused on one paragraph out of four hundred pages (you can read the full report HERE).

The claim, taken from the introduction by Baroness Hallett, is that the National Health Service “teetered on the brink of collapse” during the alleged Covid pandemic.

Many news outlets have picked up on this, reporting headlines like…

NHS ‘came close to collapse’ during COVID-19 pandemic, inquiry finds

And praising the “superhuman” efforts of the NHS staff.

Is there any truth to this claim?

The bed occupancy stats certainly don’t support it.

Let’s start with the fact  that the NHS regularly operates at or near full capacity in late winter and early spring.

This is just a fact.

The below graph covers the years 2012 to 2025 and shows the number of beds available as blue bars, with the red line indicating the number of beds being used, with the total numbers on the left-hand Y axis, and the percentage on right.

As we can see, in the years leading up to 2020 bed occupancy regularly exceeded bed availability.

We can also see that the “pandemic year” of 2020 was the first time in almost ten years that bed occupancy was lower than bed availability.

Yes, lower.

In fact, both the hospital capacity and occupancy were actually purposefully reduced in the spring of 2020 right at the height of the alleged “pandemic,” when  the NHS issued guidance which recommended –

“re-organizing hospital capacity in new ways to treat Covid and non-Covid patients separately”

and acknowledged that

“as a result hospitals will experience capacity pressures at lower overall occupancy rates than would previously have been the case.”

Simply put, in the middle of a “deadly pandemic”, with the NHS “teetering on collapse” they actually reduced bed capacity.

And even despite this deliberately reduced capacity, by mid-April of 2020 NHS hospitals were operating with four times their usual number of empty beds.

Remember the British Government paying for the construction of seven emergency “Nightingale Hospitals” in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Exeter, Harrogate and Sunderland, allegedly to deal with expected overflow of covid cases from regular hospitals?

Well, four of these seven never treated a single “Covid” patient, the three that were used treated a grand total of 388 “Covid” patients in the next two years.

So, was the NHS “teetering on the brink of collapse”?

Well, not in terms of bed occupancy for sure.

This is part of a strain of Covid revisionism which has been doing the rounds recently, and bears careful watching.

This was a coordinated plan to (a) conceal the blowing up of welfare/pension funds on crony projects (b) save the biggest global gamblers who had lost to the casino. The most novel features:
-. WHO reversed research (listed on its website) on masks, “sanitising”, contact tracing and quarantine.
-. Though deadly, (a) “covid” could be asymptomatic (b) the “test” ritual alone confirmed it without a doctor (c) the public had to stay away from hospitals until almost dead and ready to be added to the tragic stats.
-. Any doctor or academic who deviated or dissented got expelled.
-. Most slum-dwellers living in filth, and the most privileged (not subject to any restriction) did not get the dread disease.
-. US CDC (that the running dogs looked up to) reversed its demands on testing, isolation, contact tracing and jabs in 2022-08. No official seems interested in this.

Comment #2 on NYC hospitals:

The dimensions and importance of the media reports coming out of New York City in Spring 2020 can’t be overstated as the alleged onslaught of Covid-related illnesses and supposed ‘wave of covid deaths’ in NYC hospitals became the circuit breaker for the entire mass hysteria that engulfed the United States. The NYC story was ‘code red’ for national lockdowns and suspension of civil liberties across the country.

There’s just one minor problem with this narrative- it’s entirely false- it turns out that the Spring 2020 cataclysmic scenario of a “deadly pathogen” besieging New York City was a complete fabrication.

Here are a few data points from NYC’s epicenter of the epicenter (also called the “Covid War Zone” by Pharma’s PR goons) Elmhurst Hospital Emergency Department Visits 2016-2022.

I’ll do just 2017 and 2020 for comparison.

Elmhurst Hospital Emergency Department Visits 2017:

Jan-March 2017- 32,471
April- June 2017- 33,227
July- Sept 2017- 31,180
Oct-Dec 2017- 34,472

2017 Total= 131,350

The 2017 numbers were quite consistent with 2016, 2018 and 2019.

Elmhurst Hospital Emergency Department Visits 2020:

Jan-March 2020- 29,115
April- June 2020- 8,980
July- Sept 2020- 15,462
Oct-Dec 2020- 15,673

2020 Total= 69, 230

Some people will say that they were telling everyone to stay away etc. which was true but wouldn’t such an event of biblical proportion make up for that particularly at the very hospital which was being reported as “a war zone” and “the center of the center?”

Yet the numbers speak for themselves.

In fiscal year-ending 2020, NYC Health + Hospitals eleven acute hospitals had an average daily census of 3,162, with an overall average length of stay of 5.9 days. Its 4,199 beds had an average occupancy rate of 75.3%.

Elmhurst is one of those eleven and allegedly had a 71.3% occupancy rate in 2020.

Frankly I don’t even believe that low number as from July-Dec 2020 the ICU bed usage was below 20%.

Remember Colleen Smith? She was the featured ER doctor in the infamous NY Times video article in early 2020 telling the world about the “horrific conditions” in NYC due to Covid deaths, she was on ABC news talking about the “apocalyptic scenario” at Elmhurst hospital and was all over the media pimping the pandemic story.

Her training? Medical simulation specialist.

“Dr. Colleen Smith, an emergency care physician at the hospital, described the area where the COVID-19 patients are being treated as “a parking lot of stretchers.”

As one emergency care physician told ABC News plainly, “this is ground zero.” The city health department sent out a release, calling the 545-bed hospital in Elmhurst “the center of this crisis.”

All lies.

I’ll do this in two separate comments.

Comment #1:

As everyone here likely knows it was the same story (aka BS) with the hospitals in NYC- the “epicenter of the epicenter.”

New York City’s emergency rooms were not overwhelmed in spring 2020. They were busier during the 2017-2018 flu season than they were at any point between lockdown orders and January 2022.

NYC hospital EDs were not overrun with patients, dropped 60%, yet saw an additional 15,000 deaths in inpatient vs 2019 in 12 weeks.

No notable increase in hospital inpatient mortality until week 12. Then bombs went off. Viral pathogens don’t operate like bombs even if you believe in that sort of thing.

People were killed en masse via intubation with accompanying medications and other measures. Investigators found nearly half of patients diagnosed with “COVID-19” develop a secondary ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia.

What drugs were being used in NYC hospitals?

These include midazolam, propofol and fentanyl drugs which suppress respiration. Isn’t that the opposite of what you’d give to someone with low o2 sats?

These drugs were among the most sought after in hospital intensive care units around the country where claiming that shortages of these medicines are putting lives of Covid-19 patients at risk.

The very drugs and procedures that were killing them.

Also massive numbers of at home deaths. Over a two week period in April 2020, the city’s fire officials said more than 2,192 NYC residents died in their homes, compared to 453 during the same time period in 2019.

On average there are 25 deaths at home per week in NYC- again that is per week. On ONE DAY, April 7, 2020, for example, there was 256- that’s 256 on one day due to policies not a virus.

People were made to be afraid to go to hospitals lest they get infected with the “killer virus.” This means when they are in the early stages of cardiac arrest, stay at home and some don’t make it.

The evidence illustrates that there were no overwhelmed hospitals and there was no sign of a “lurking deadly virus” in New York City before human interventions took hold- in early 2020.

We only see deaths rise AFTER the city starts shutting down and administrative diktats and never-before-seen hospital protocols are put in place. It’s important to stress that during this time there were NO THIRD-PARTY WITNESSES TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO PATIENTS IN HOSPITALS.

This was not the natural work of a respiratory condition. This wasn’t a “novel pathogen” that was killing people, it was health despotism enforced by health bureaucrats and carried out by health professionals.

This is a great article to get the conversation going again, but obviously has very narrow focus. It serves us well to take the macro view at all times – because it potentially gives you the why of it all.

The theory goes like this:
It is more likely than not that COVID and all of the connected actions were an operation to keep alive and transistion an economic system in its last stages. I’m simplifying a complex system below, but essentially, the system structurally requires ever-more debt to service existing obligations… and that is not sustainable:

Global debt – sovereign, corporate, household – by 2019 had exceeded $255 trillion, over 322% of global GDP. – Source: Institute of International Finance (IIF), Global Debt Monitor, April 2020 – https://shorturl.at/vMAR5

To service the interest on that debt requires perpetual economic growth. But growth is slowing while debt continues to accelerate. Sooner rather than later, average interest rates will exceed GDP growth rates (interest rates on new debt already exceed GDP growth) – the textbook definition of a debt spiral. The gap between financial claims (loans/ investments) and actual productive output grows wider every year. The World Bank calls it “a looming global debt disaster.” Source: https://shorturl.at/qpEqV “Total global debt is now nearly 25 percent higher than it was on the eve of the COVID-19 pandemic, when it already was at an all-time high.”

When that gap becomes too large the system faces a choice:

1. Collapse – debts are defaulted on, assets crash, banks fail, political chaos… or;
2. Managed demolition – a way to restructure the debt, redistribute losses (downward to the plebs), extract wealth (upwards, obviously), and rewrite the rules.

Option 1 is unacceptable because it’s uncontrolled – it threatens the structure and power of the system. Option 2 is preferable, but it requires strong justification. COVID was that justification – it provided manufactured consent for enormous economic (and social) disruption.

Here’s how Option 2 works to alleviate the danger of impending economic collapse – but remember this: As contradictory as it may seem given what I’ve just said above, the operation wasn’t to reduce debt – it was to prevent collapse and manage the expansion of debt, while restructuring who benefits from the next phase of the system. Increasing overall debt was actually part of the toolset used – kicking the big can down the road at the same time as using it to further entrench and enrich power. So, Option 2 goes like this:

1. Debt Management by demand destruction – shutting down the economy destroys demand. Small businesses close, consumption collapses. Large corps like big tech, big pharma, Amazon etc.. they not only survive but absorb market share at a massive rate – they pick up the ex-customers of the closed businesses. That’s consolidation of wealth in action, disguised as public health policy – US billionaire wealth increased by over $1.3 trillion in the first year alone! Source: Americans for Tax Fairness https://shorturl.at/Yu8jB

Demand destruction masks what would otherwise have been financial system collapse – the narrative becomes ‘we shut down to save lives’ as opposed to ‘the banks are failing again’. And this then gives the excuse to…

2. Print massive amounts of money! – AKA financial restructuring – Central banks injected an unprecedented amount – $9 trillion in 2020 alone! – of liquidity into the system. Source: Investment Corner https://shorturl.at/U46f6. The money went overwhelmingly to financial markets and large institutions, not to workers or SMEs. Public outrage was avoided because it was done as an ‘emergency response’ as opposed to ‘banker bailout’, which caused no end of headache for ‘The Powers That Be’ in 2008.

These actions – along with others too expansive to go into here – worked to control/mask inflation, and transferred wealth from savers and wage-earners to asset holders and debtors.

3. Justification for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) – The crisis created urgency for modernising the financial system. CBDCs offer central banks direct control over money supply, spending behaviour and individual transactions. It is the most significant expansion of financial surveillance and control in history – and it requires crisis justification.

There were more systemic actions that were undertaken in the COVID crisis that have beneficial results for the system managers, including: automation acceleration, essential/non-essential categorisation of workers (normalises people to the idea that the state determines who may work and when – handy for a future where there isn’t enough work), UBI preparation (furlough schemes, stimulus payments), censorship to manage ‘misinformation’, social exclusion, physical separation, digital surveillance.. and on and on…

COVID was an operation to provide the cover required to manage the ongoing transition of a failing economic system to a modern, more controlled one. The Transnational Capitalist Class partnering with nation-state forces to ensure the continuation and consolidation of their wealth and power. A crisis managed by:
– Militarised social control
– Mass surveillance
– Transfer of wealth upward
– Ideological conformity enforcement
– Surplus population management

All of the above in it’s entirety will be argued against by all except the most ardent theorists of conspiracy, by explaining it as the genuine reaction and response to a real, present and deadly new virus that had mutated out of a lab / wet market (take your pick); and that all of this was not planned in advance as an operation to transition the system, extract wealth and entrench control; but as an emergency act to benefit and save us all. It was simply a co-incidence that the system needed the changes anyway or face collapse. The gain of wealth and power are just side benefits because that’s what power does – takes advantage in a crisis.

The huge number of lives lost to a virus – not as a consequence of the actions of the operation.

What do you believe?

My ex-girlfriend was a geriatric nurse. She said that, if you put somebody on a ventilator, you have to have somebody watching them from bedside 24/7. Like in the old movies. She said hooking them up and closing the door was criminal. And she was a pro-vaxxista of course. Somehow, she couldn’t put 2 and 2 together, though.

No one died of Covid as Covid did not exist
But people did die of Covid measures implemented by the government including General Practitioner Doctors and the NHS
If you fell ill and you phoned your GP you would get a message telling you the if you had any of the many Covid symptoms not to go to your GP and not to go to Hospital but to stay at home.
I new one person who took this advice until his condition got so bad that he was then rushed to hospital. but by then it was to late and he died of broncho pneumonia. But with operations cancelled old people transferred out of hospital to for profit private care homes who could not treat them whose zero hour contract staff were to scared to go in and the public told to stay at home . How could the hospitals be overcrowded at the same time. But what do you expect from a government enquiry they always invert the truth.

Yes, I smelt a rat as soon as I saw that headline. The NHS can’t collapse in any case because it is government-funded, so it isn’t like a corporation. If there were great financial pressures on the NHS that was down to giving millions of British people jabs they didn’t need, failing to treat people who really were ill, and lining the pockets of greedy doctors and health administrators who were prepared to lie in exchange of money. What’s behind this government/media revisionism? Probably it’s an excuse, in advance, for not rolling millions of useless jabs again – the media aren’t allowed to criticise the ‘covid’ jabs, the pharmaceutical industry or the medical profession, so they need to ‘blame’ the NHS as an organisation for ‘nearly collapsing’. We’re still waiting for any accountability at all for the non-mistakes of the ‘covid’ dictatorship, with the mainstream media almost entirely silent on even the whole period.

Excellent article, thank you.

Some time around the later half of 2020 I listed as many of my people and acquaintances as I could remember – everyone from my kids, siblings, cousins, colleagues, neighbours, postman, the lady in the vegetable shop! I got to around 250 – every one of them still alive…
I noted that the cemetery in the village was very quiet. Not once did I hear an ambulance on the main road nearby.

An elderly neighbour (older than me that is!) who I met regularly out walking asked me what did I think of these vaccines and would I get one. She agreed when I said “no way”. Her husband, lovely quiet man, went with his sister to get the injection. A week later he dropped dead on the living room floor, days later his sister died. “Unknown causes”.

It’s crippling to think of it. Especially knowing that so many of those I counted succumbed.

The basics: (a) Illness and going through the motions of treating it is a capitalist industry (b) we are not evil socialists/communists (c) public “health” service is a facade, while privatisation expands (d) over 2011-2018, EC urged EU governments at least 63 times to reduce expenditure on medical treatment in favour of privatisation.

In Brazil – purportedly devastated by covid – legislators forced their way into a hospital claiming to be full, and found it empty. But good old BBC was in rural Brazil, showing long lines of new graves, the purportedly due to people being abandoned. BBC was also one of the early birds showing the “heart-breaking tragedy” in Italy; it got to film restricted funerals; it did not mention mass double-jabbing for flu or the intense pollution.

2 years after the scam, people are still being jabbed in the running-dog countries, even after US CDC “withdrew its emergency application for the test” and made the jab optional. No one has breached the pseudo-scientific atrocity in courts, and dissidents still suffer. For babies raised at the height of the insanity by adults all wearing face masks, it may be too late; research shows “cognitive” harm to them.

Actually, it’s not really revisionism as that would say they’re revising a previous narrative. They were saying this in real time and since, so it’s basically reiteration with a bit of reaffirmation tossed in. For what purpose? Well, it’s evidently because of the report. Is there an agenda? Same old thing. We already know they’re always in prep mode for the next time. Wars, scamdemics, financial, energy, agriculture, food, water, they control it all and it won’t stop until they’re stopped. How that could happen, I don’t know. Maybe by some breaking point that causes it. Which probably won’t be pleasant. Maybe we’re in the midst of it right now and the breaking point isn’t far off. Or maybe they out and out declare victory and we’re all fucked forever, like in a science fiction book.

Hive mind stearing committees . Remember words have meanings the TPB control language hence bang . IE:Steering committees, The word itself is self evident.
PUNTO UNO; The Usa has put on hold sanctions on Iranian and Russian crude to be exported and traded. Proviso traded in dollars. PETRO DOLLAR. Prices of crude are up circa 30 50 percent. Russia is selling its crude to India in US dollars Iran is selling its crude in US dollars. Trump ” we are making a killing”
PUNTO DUE: Australia was on of the first western countries to use ATM’s
Australia was the harshest of western countries when it came to lockdowns and individual freedoms.
PUNTO TRE: is it a coincidence that every western leader is totally incompetent or is it planned that way. IE fuel reserves in Australia having only 2 refineries. Hence Island nation that is also a continent viola Fuel Act 2021 comes into force when i don’t know but what a better country to test manufactured fuel shortages and lockdown. They are already on transitory style fuel shortage emergencies in THailand ,China is on total fuel embargo exports. EU denying cheap natural gas via Nord Stream. European industrial base being dismantled as we speak.
PUNTO QUATTRO : Right on point already the narrative coming out of the land of the free and brave LOOOL USA is pointing fingers at Israel and Zionist. Just like Rand corp and Brooking institute white papers is Israel will be blamed , also known as blame shifting.
PUNTO CINQUE: All the western countries have massive unfunded liabilities. Public and private pensions funds will not be redeemable. The math does not add up.
POST SCRIPTUM: all this inflationary pressures that we are witnessing since 2020 are all related to more wealth extraction. Trump himself stated it “We are making a Killing” the seven sisters are cashing in well and truly b4 the economic catastrophe.
DOCIUS IN FONDO: I stated this b4 investment money is all moving to Asia and Africa . What do they know that we do not.Russia settling its trade in US,d instead of Indian Ruppees Iran getting paid in US’d and having sold more crude in these last 3 weeks than b4.Greater picture this is also mentioned in Rand corp papers is how to choke the Sino economy by cutting them of from crude. Seems to me similar playbook they did on Imperial Japan in 1940.. Conspiracy theory or fact. I myself am a Trauma ICU nurse made redundant from COVID 19 which was most people on this web site concur was a psy -op.
WE the prols or plebs and Israel itself are victims. Its not because I am an Israeli asset I am of Serphardic background raised a Catholic and Italian American. Its just using available data and various white papers and steering committees.
So with a scintilla of intellectual honesty and basic economics and math all roads will lead most discernable people to the same conclusion. I may be wrong I may be rite, but one thing is for sure nufin adds up 2plus 2 still equals 4 not five or three. one plus one is still two numbers are infinite and we are expendable.
Meanwhile all western governments are legislating laws to enforce their digital panopticon on us.

to “Stop The Spread (TM)” . And, as the latest Pandemic-In-The Making. “The Kent

But remember when we were supposed to be ‘saving granny’, elderly people were given end of life ‘care’, put on midazolam and sent back into care homes where they were likely to spread Covid no matter what was actually wrong with them. The lack of care in care homes was spectacular as a very large number of residents died from dehydration as no relatives were allowed in to ensure they drank something. A crime against humanity on a massive scale and people still think it was a) necessary and b) caring. I despair.

The NHS Nightingale Hospital London was the first of the NHS Nightingale Hospitals, temporary hospitals set up by NHS England for the COVID-19 pandemic.
It was housed in the ExCeL London convention centre in East London.

The hospital was rapidly planned and constructed, being formally opened on 3 April and receiving its first patients on 7 April 2020. It served 54 patients during the first wave of the pandemic, and was used to serve non-COVID patients and provide vaccinations during the second wave.

NHS Nightingale Hospital at ExCel Centre will have two wards, each with 2,000 beds, with military and NHS support.

4000-bed hospital during the world’s worst pandemic had 54 patients.

NHS hospital staff were so rushed off their feet that empty hospital car parks, empty corridors and waiting rooms along with rows of ambulances parked doing nothing up was the norm at many hopsitals.

Those intrepid enough to have a nose around inside hospitals and to video the goings on encountered ‘no goings on’ and security guards keen to escort them off the premises. A few even earnt bans from hospitals once their faces became recognised.

The one thing bored staff seemed to do, other than killing off grannies in specialised Covid wards aka the grim reaper’s waiting room, was to practice their dance choreography for their latest Thick Tok video.

I live in major UK town. As with many people. I found that the fake pandemic was actually very beneficial for the social life. For me it resulted in a widening of a social network and the making of several new friends.

Just before I met them, 3 people I now know were allowed into the local hospital posing as evangelical Christians, saying that they wished to perform the power of prayer close to the suffering. In fact, they just wanted to see for themselves what the hospital was like.

They reported that it was very quiet and appeared to be half empty

I made one good unjabbed friend and deleted the numbers of several jabbed up going along with it types who I should have dumped decades ago. I have no idea if they are suffering in silence or dead. They made their choice.

The Hospital wards were empty, the Ambulance crews sat in their vehicles with patients in the back. The show was clear for anyone with a curious mind to see.

Now the monkeypox is over, along with the aliens, several types of new A.I.D.S, harmless but now deadly Arachnids, tainted milk, killer food, Killer clowns! I was wondering when they would roll out their next boring show. Aren’t we all bored of this show, aren’t we?

Memories . . .

It was February or March 2020, and Covid was more and more in the news. I was taking a routine walk at the lake and approaching an elderly lady, when I noticed she veered off the path in order to stay far, far away from me.

That was my first experience with irrational Covid behavior.

Soon enough the masks and lockdowns would come along. Some people at the lake would have that awful mask pulled down under the chin, but when approaching me would pull it back up over mouth and nose.

I often thought of the old Star Trek quip: “Beam me up, Scotty. There’s no intelligent life down here.”

I was doing research into the hospital bed issue in the US in 2020 as soon as I heard the term “capacity crisis” applied to covid impacts. The US has been under incremental privatization since Reagan/Thatcher and hospital capacity reduction is a feature of that privatized profiteering. As I remember, according to data published by Becker’s Hospital Review, US average beds per 1000 was 4.5 in 1980. I live in Oregon and have lived on the West Coast all my life. Washington, Oregon and California had the lowest US average beds per 1000 count as of 2020 at 2.3-2.5 beds per 1000. US 2020 average was somewhere around 3 beds/1000. Corporate privatizing and downsizing places the entire US hospital system vulnerable to crisis. Under-staffing, under-resourcing, lowering service quality benefits management and stockholders, but throws the public and health care workers under the bus. 5 years after 2020, Oregon hospitals have been downsizing again, closing emergency hospitals, and outsourcing to cheaper east coast vendors. A hedge fund owns one of only two hospitals here in Eugene and we know how they operate. After the LOCKDOWN, the supposed “capacity crisis”, and ongoing hysteria about another plandemic, you’d think the Oregon Legislature OHS would be encouraging a rise bringing bed capacity up.(OHS was positively fascist in pandemic measures.) Nope. From all I’ve seen Oregon is probably down to 2 or less beds/1000 and descending.

I have the documentation. Becker’s is not as open to public access as in 2020. If anyone wants my documentation, ping me.

Not to worry the next scandemic is on its way.

On the outbreak of Meningitis in Britain, my wife was in Sainsbury’s today, she often speaks to the manager – and the manager showed her a memo (given to all stores) that it looks likely that they’ll be another lockdown – the manager wasn’t to happy about it either.
Radio news reported that their were around 39 confirm cases – but health experts expect it to spread widely, once the uni’s, college’s and schools stop for the Easter break.
The plan is in action, and the vaccines are just waiting in the wings – to jab us all with life shortening shit, as in the Covid-19 scamdemic.

On the Covid-19 scamdemic, one can only wonder how many folk died due to being mechanically ventilated.

Just heard from someone in Canterbury who worked at the uni and was offered a jab that the queue this morning was about a mile long. She was given antibiotics because she didn’t want to wait for the jab. But she doesn’t feel ill. So thousands of people are being given antibiotics for something they don’t have. Doesn’t sound like a good idea to me unless of course you want to decimate the bacterial resistance of huge swaths of the population.

I heard on radio news today, can’t recall channel, probably LBC News – they wheeled out a so called “expert” from one uni or another, who said the Meningitis B outbreak would affect mainly children and young adults – one wonder if that is the PTB’s target group – get them while there young – and they’ll spread your propaganda for you.

We are now at the point where the media can push out any sequence of words and they will lodge in …well, the media anyway because I don’t think the populace are even paying attention now. So someone up there could decide to go with a random three word term like, say, “Large Rubber Gerbil” and that will then be repeated endlessly. And no-one would even query it. They’d think, “Oh there goes the media again. Who cares?”
