Come on CNBC, you are smarter than this. Why are you posting this today when your facts are based on estimates from 5 weeks ago? This has proven not to be true. In fact the Comfort and Javitz center are now closed.
CNBC is trying hard to dethrone CNN as the purveyor of the biggest bullshit “news stories”. clickbait bullshitters propaganda leftist 👍🏻🤠

What shortage?
If you mean coronavirus is pushing Tiktok to the brink of bored medical worker synchronized dance posts you may have a point.
Is it the conservative, right wing media the ones who are saying that there are so many hospitals that are empty and are laying off their workers? What's true?
Why isn’t anybody saying something about the CURE found at MADAGASCAR 🇲🇬?
Why is CNBC spreading disinformation. This is total BS!

Already been proven to be no
Why? Just take a look why...
Let's be accurate. 1 million have TESTED positive. Some estimates have the actual infected number at 10 to 25 times that number due to lack of testing availability and no to moderate symptoms in most.
This is totally and 💯 fake news, unbelievable
I thought hospitals were going bankrupt because of no patients? Which is it?
I thought hospitals were empty, which is it?
Uh no....not even close. What data are you looking at?
We’re a third world country when it comes to healthcare. Sad!!
So who is paying you to report this grossly distorted and FakeNews? SERIOUSLY. The CoronaHoax is OVER ASSHOLES. JUST STOP IT.
This is total BS. Hospitals in the Midwest are laying off doctors and nurses because they are empty.
No because most of the hospitals in the country are half empty. Nurses have been laid off all over the country.
Obamacare?
Not if we stay at home, six feet apart, and masked.
No you idiot. They overbuilt hospitals in NY. Closed them already.
This is a terrible article. You know there are places in the US besides NY and LA
Lies, lies, and more lies.
Hospitals are EMPTY, dumbshit.
Pic of Covidiots taken recently in Georgia, USA: No masks - no distancing.
Is this a fantasy dream of CNBC?
God, the fear mongering is never ending.
Don't ask stupid questions to panic people when real answers are out there
Are you nuts, these hospitals around here have a lot of empty beds !
5 floors were cleared at the main hospital yet only half of one room was used at a highest point of infection.
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣 hospitals empty AF
Still no facts but stoking fears. Have you seen how many hospitals in some cases are laying off people? It’s happening all over America and why are not reporting this. FactsNotFear
Wait. Someone's child got a hold of their phone and tweeted this, right?
Who’s writing this shit?
This is not happening. Just stop.
I have a friend that works in emergency room. He is afraid of getting laid off because not enough patients.
Here patient capacity at largest Federally funded hospital in the tristate area are down 70% for adults and 45% for children. Patients aren't allowed 'elective surgeries or procedures' and many have fear of getting the virus from coming near the hospital.
Fakest news I’ve ever heard. Reckless reporting
You guys are way too excited to have something other than Trump to write about. Calm down!
MikeArgi Stop lying.
So many idiots. Do you think they would make this stuff up? All you have to do is watch the news and you would realize how serious this is. If this was not a big problem, we be having to stay home.
Stop spreading fake news Concast CNBC criminal boiler room operation
Stop posting this fake news every hour.
No.
U.S. city NYC with most cases of Coronavirus. Governor Cuomo says USN Hospital Ship Comfort 'No Longer Needed'. 04/22/2020
Better take your vitamins.
Was the big issue in the Netherlands .. Is now nearly below a set value of 700 icu beds ..
Bullshit article. Nonsensical.
BS article !!!
The Navy hospital ship left NYC after only treating 182 people over the period of a month.
This is a total lie. CNBC should be taken off Twitter for this. Disgraceful.
We have a few ships you can use
Stop the lies. Hospitals are empty
Fear mongering at its finest
No way your data is wrong ... go to local hospitals and see for yourself.
Is that why all the nurses are twerking on TikTok?
FakeNews HypedUpBullshit TheTruthIsComingOut JustAMatterOfTime TickTock DontBeASheep
Disinformation
Because the hospitals are empty due to us wildly overestimated the COVID needs. They are so empty, that they’re Hemorrhaging money. We need to start allowing elective surgeries ASAP before the medical system shuts down due to bankruptcy. It would be beyond idiotic to allow.
Jus where in the hell this happening at? The idiot that wrote this outright fucking lie needs to be on unemployment, if not disability
Все будет хорошо
Fake News - In most cities across America even COVID designated areas are 70% or more vacant, same for non COVID hospitals which are now laying people off ... all the while these on the “brink” med Professionals have time to make TikTok dance of Videos .. HOAX
No IT wont ... u want to create panic.
US are now facing a death toll of 9/11 - each day!
We have been warned for decades that our for profit healthcare system is the worst in the world. Do you need more proof?
Huh? Hospitals empty in Western Michigan
GovRonDeSantis raves daily that we have plenty of beds here in slow retarded Florida where they cant seem to pay anyone their unemployment and food lines go for 3 miles
Hospitals are laying off nurses and Drs all over the country, how can you even publish this
You’re kidding me. We have/had two giant ships full of hospital beds ready for the hospitals. And the are still empty with beds that are ready.
You mean NYC right? Ask Cuomo and di Blasio. The rest of the country is opening!
No ... they will make it.
Did CNN write this? 🙄
Oh the panic inducing stories.
Wut
Why does CNBC continue to promote news stories with misleading and often at times false or at best deceptive headlines? Please exercise journalistic integrity. jimcramer Jim what do you say to your colleagues?
Here in Amarillo, Tx the meat plant Tyson have a lot of employees infected and don’t care about their employees, the worst thing is that they are spreading it all over the town
This is interesting, most of my acquaintances in the medical industry from all walks of the country, with the exception of New York, are being furloughed because the hospitals are practically empty. Interesting spin on more FakeNews
Why tell the truth when lying pays better
They’re all doing choreographed dance routines on Tik-Tok
But nurses have time to make TikTok videos and surf on stretchers.
By 'tested the limits' you mean checked to see how many employees can be furloughed and still keep the hospital open?
Lies
Whhhhhhat? Are you high?
Nurses are just dancing in Tiktok
Wow - unfollowed
This is terrible reporting. I would have thought this was written a month ago when hospitals were suffering but here in Michigan they are empty.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤪🖕🏻
FakeNews FakePandemic
What a joke...
O..
Not even close to a realistic picture of our national hospital environment. The author should not be allowed to report on healthcare moving forward. Irresponsible
Where does this network get its info? Complete fake news!
Garbage. Most are ghost towns. Pure clickbait
Where did this nonsense come from. Hospital in most of the US are running well under capacity. Even in NYC the extra hospital facilities they were given were under utilized.
Your kidding right? Hospitals are laying people off in my area. ICU/CCUs ERs don’t make money. Rest of Hospital does .
They had laying off hospital workers for goodness sake.
Gov Cuomo said the number hospitalized patients is declining. The USS Comfort is leaving. Can you be more specific?
US's situation . is much much better than . Communist China and Hong Kong.
The US cab very well run out of beds if the current restrictions are not lifted immediately. They are going broke!
The only brink the hospitals are facing us from a lack of patients and revenue! Stop the fake news
most hospitals are laying off ppl!!!!! they r waiting on the surge that never came!!!!!
This is why no one believes the media. Combine that with the nonstop lies by out of control governors and mayors. Open everything now and prosecute politicians
FakePandemic
More click bait from . Hospital is EMPTY where I am.
The example is one city? Meanwhile rural hospitals are on the brink of bankruptcy since they can’t do surgeries and there are very few patients needing care.
What’s new, shitty news outlets instilling fear into the gullible public 😅😅
What? Hospitals are empty, staff has been furloughed.
No, it won't
plenty of rooms assholes
Obama didn’t leave us with enough beds, just like he left us with an empty shelf of PPE...
Fear mongering. This is utter and complete bullshit, but it’s CNBC so makes complete sense.
You have to substantiate your drama, there are many hospitals running on less than half capacity on the brink of bankruptcy with many furloughed staff.Go and ask your boss how to write articles like this. You have to be specific because a lot of people have a better idea than you
Shut up... creating panic because u see the people is getting sick!!... but from media
No we won't.
elonmusk disagrees.
Lmao. Meanwhile in real life Hospitals are empty and laying off employees.
fakenews let us know one state where hospitals are over capacity. Even NY the hospital ship has already left...
This is just so god damned wrong. Volume and census is down 35-40% across the board. Just knock it off already. Dummies.
What the fuck? We're swimming in empty hospital beds. More FakeNews from BSNBC!
Was this written two months ago? WTF!
CNBC. Would be interesting to report on what his happening to patients / families as they survive a hospital stay, are the medical bills going to cripple them after? Insured and not insured. We know insured is rarely fully covered.
no
Americans have grown tired of the fear porn. We know that there has been a surplus of beds throughout the so-called pandemic. Enough with these false and silly headlines.
This is fake bullshit. Hospitals are laying off employees and or cutting hours because of low census. Stop the fake news and fear monger omg 😡
Is this a News? The Hospital Ship went back to Norfolk from NY!
What a crock they NY didn’t use nearly any of the extra beds that were built by the army core of engineers or the hospital ship!
Another misleading headline. NYC is a hot spot, but most of the country is well below capacity. NH has 1.4m people and under 3k positive cases. Hospitals have laid off staff to focus on COVID, but most hospitals are well below capacity. 14 surge centers setup and no one using.
Is that why hospitals are half empty?
FakeNews getting it 100% wrong, pushing a false political narrative. Hospitals are operating below capacity, many furloughing healthcare employees...
fakenews
Bullshit
Did you dumba$$es not listen to cuomo this morning and how the trends are going down Houston is preparing to tear down a $17,000,000 hospital add on due to no patients. You are obviously trying to supplant cnn as the worst media outlet and at this rate it won't be long!
Good lord ..... can’t be anymore fake news than this.
Seriously? You all don't have go outside, just pull your head out every now and then for some air
Isn’t this just completely false at this point? Hospitals are struggling to survive and are furloughing people.
This is a complete lie! How are you allowed to post this?
Not true
No, FakeNews Your CoronaVirus hype for ratings is getting old
Plenty more available. Maybe not in New York..but most of America where other people live too
THIS IS A LIE.
No it’s not. They have more than enough beds and ventilators
It's not though
the largest hospital system here has 5000 rooms. 248 rooms filled with corona. Give me a break.
And the market doesn't care 🤔
Because they are being used for TikTok videos.
Huh?
Definitely misleading regarding the beds, it seems
Yes more fear mongering. CNBC wants to keep us firmly glued at home and watching CNBC.
They were apparently referring to comments made by Dr. Deborah Birx in early April regarding the 20 hardest hit States not having enough ICU beds. New York was number 1, obviously
They aren’t we are closing hospitals and laying off healthcare workers more LIES!!!!
Because there is a pandemic going on?
Your boy Cuomo just said Hospitalizations are down. Check your facts before putting out false news. CNBC is better than that. Don’t be like MSNBC
has to be trumps fault.
Why are nurses and Dr.'s being laid off?
Maybe in NYC, not elsewhere.
It’s because of Medicare for all. Damn Italians stole all the beds
More FAKE NEWS....
WTF?! Is this report misleading or what! As of this morning, 52% of hospital beds are available Nationally!
Yes but there getting put on the unemployment line as we speak and hospitals are going out of businesses as well
Why are you lying? Like we can’t walk in and see for ourselves?
That is not true..California just reported half of their hospitals are empty!
That is a lie. Their are plenty. Just watch the DeSantis press conference as an example. Hospitals have lots of capacity. Check your facts. FactsNotFear
There ARE enough hospital beds.
get this far left garbage out of here, come on man, they have plenty of beds, the ship has been turned back... fake news and you should be ashamed, and FIRED HalftimeReport now
Nurses and Dr’s need rooms to practice their dancing
Three words... For profit healthcare.
fake news👆👆👆
Cuz this is what a war looks like.
