Philadelphia's Psychiatric Crisis
00:05:06
|
|
| And every Friday. | |
| How is that? | |
| Awful? | |
| Yeah, I guess that might be the appropriate term. | |
| Second hour of the show devoted to happiness. | |
| And this is a tough time in American life. | |
| Very tough time. | |
| For me to acknowledge it means it is a tough time. | |
| So, what are you doing about it? | |
| And that's the subject. | |
| Open lines. | |
| Let's take your calls. | |
| Very important hour. | |
| Let's see. | |
| Here's an interesting one. | |
| Kyle in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. | |
| Hello. | |
| How are you doing, Dennis? | |
| I can't believe I'm talking to you right now. | |
| Oh, that's very sweet. | |
| Thank you. | |
| So, an article that came out on the 30th of September in Philadelphia Inquirer, they touched on... | |
| They had touched on the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the epidemic they're facing just at the hospital and the crisis they're having there. | |
| They have 585 deads, and a majority of those, only about a dozen of those, are COVID-related. | |
| And the rest are either upper respiratory and mental health issues, a lot stemming from the pandemic itself. | |
| And it's getting so overflowed that they're looking to expand another facility just for a psychiatric unit, just to the children's hospital. | |
| And to what do they attribute the psychiatric problems? | |
| To a lot of the pandemic and children missing school being separated from their friends and family. | |
| Yeah, well this was my worry from the very beginning when I called the... | |
| The lockdown, the greatest mistake in history. | |
| It's like the immature, namely people that are called experts, they tend to be immature. | |
| They never ask the most important question, what is the price paid for any given policy? | |
| Like there's no price paid. | |
| But that's the only question mature people should be asking. | |
| and the price paid by children and adults in work, in schooling, has been horrific. | |
| I'd like to see that article. | |
| What was the date of it? | |
| Yeah, it was September 30th. | |
| And it was about how many beds are being reserved in Philadelphia? | |
| Well, there's 585 beds, it says in the article. | |
| And a majority of them are either upper respiratory or mental health issues, and they're opening up an extra 46-bed unit in the Philadelphia area just for psychiatric because they're not able to handle the psychiatric issues that these children are having directly at their main hospital. | |
| And the upper respiratory issues that they had touched on have been because the children weren't exposed to. | |
| Wow, I'm going to look that article up. | |
| Kyle, I deeply appreciate your calling in. | |
| My assumption when I hear experts say is that what I'm about to read is stupid. | |
| That's my assumption. | |
| 99% of the time, I think it turns out to be accurate. | |
| The harm that has been done to humanity, not just in the United States, to humanity over this past year with the lockdowns. | |
| See the guy arrested, by the way? | |
| It's almost unbelievable. | |
| A guy who was on a beach in, what was it, Sydney? | |
| Sydney or Melbourne. | |
| And he was on a beach alone. | |
| Alone. | |
| And the cops came and arrested him. | |
| You're not allowed to sunbathe in Australia. | |
| Health Uber Alice. | |
| How often did I say that in the course of the last years? | |
| Health uber alis. | |
| Safetyism. | |
| The joke is, it's not making people safe, though. | |
| It's making people crazy. | |
| But there is a solution if you have kids, and that's homeschooling. | |
| Spend time with them. | |
| Enjoy them. | |
| Have them enjoy other kids. | |
| Unmasked. | |
| See faces. | |
| Enjoy life. | |
