50 . We would ask you to try to increase your capacity 100 . Okay . So we now have 53,000 beds. We need 110,000 beds. If they increased the capacity 100 , that solves the mathematical projection. Right . I think its unreasonable to say to every hospital basically double your capacity. I dont think its unreasonable to say try to reach 100 increase but you must reach a 50 increase. 50 increase, were only at 75,000 beds. We still have a problem between 75,000 and 110,000. Once you secure the bed you have to secure the staff. You are going to have staff that are getting sick. And need to be replaced. You create these new beds. You dont have the staff for those new beds now. They just dont exist. Your staffing is to your number of beds. You increase the number of beds you need more staff. We are going to the entire retired community, Health Care Professionals, and who are licensed, registered and were saying we want you to e ....
This is the real world. President obama is going up against a bad guy, a guy who will stop at nothing to stay in power, but it is anybodys guess how it will end. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the president has to win another big battle before he can go after the bad guy. He has to get the American People and congress on his side. The odds right now, not exactly in his favor. Here are the numbers. In the senate, 25 yes votes, 19 no votes, 56 undecided. In the house, the math no better. 24 yes votes, 119 no votes, 270 undecided and 20 simply unknown. The president , meanwhile, staking everything on turning those numbers around. This is hard, and i was under no illusions when i embarked on this path. But i think its the right thing to do. I think its good for our democracy. We will be more effective if we are unified going forward. Lets get started with the battle on capitol hill. Joining me now, two congressmen who couldnt disagree ....

What did khorasan have 24 hours ago that it doesnt have right now . Were still assessing the effects of the strikes that we took against the Khorasan Group in syria. We do know we hit what we were aiming at. Some of it was their weaponsmaking capabilities and commandandcontrol.
