Of course, what he cannot explain is this — I am in a surge area. I have had the critical care units for a full week. Not one single ICU admission with CoVID in over 10 days. Only one hospital admission — and that was incidental finding because we have to do CoVID before procedures.
With massive testing, we are finding that the CFR is plummeting and the FEARPERS do not even bother to acknowledge. More cases, no severity, gee I guess it is just the Flu, bro, and not even that bad.
I don't think the numbers of hospitalizations have gone through the roof, rather they're fudging the numbers to try to keep everyone fearful and shut in as much as possible.
Our hospital has four CV patients, and yesterday the ICU was covid free for the first time since February.
As long as the ICU has capacity, we have to let this thing run. Protect the old and infirm. But without a balance we will ruin the economy, keep idiots on the streets, and put MORE people at risk later in the year.
The ICU and hospitalizations are the key factors here.

In my home town the biggest public hospital reports: “We have tested hundreds of asymptomatic patients that are coming in for elective procedures, and we’ve had one test positive,” he said. “So, candidly, I would have thought we’d have more, test positive.” And this: “Currently just under 3 percent of the County residents who’ve been tested — have tested positive.”
