Our Most Reliable Pandemic Number Is Losing Meaning [Are Pandemic Hospitalization Numbers Misleading Us?]
The Atlantic ^ | 09/13/2021 | David Zweig

Posted on 09/13/2021 1:18:00 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

At least 12,000 Americans have already died from COVID-19 this month, as the country inches through its latest surge in cases. But another worrying statistic is often cited to depict the dangers of this moment: The number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in the United States right now is as high as it has been since the beginning of February. It’s even worse in certain places: Some states, including Arkansas and Oregon, recently saw their COVID hospitalizations rise to higher levels than at any prior stage of the pandemic. But how much do those latter figures really tell us?

Even if the numbers are correct (doubtful), how many cases were imported by the diseased, illiterate human scum surging into our country from the south?

The money paragraph...

The study found that from March 2020 through early January 2021—before vaccination was widespread, and before the Delta variant had arrived—the proportion of patients with mild or asymptomatic disease was 36 percent. From mid-January through the end of June 2021, however, that number rose to 48 percent. In other words, the study suggests that roughly half of all the hospitalized patients showing up on COVID-data dashboards in 2021 may have been admitted for another reason entirely, or had only a mild presentation of disease.

“At least 12,000 Americans have already died from COVID-19 this month”

Yeah. Right.
**************************************************

It might be true. A friend of mine was telling me 4 people who were killed in an automobile accident were said to have died from the virus because they ran a test on the crank case oil of the car they were in and found traces of the China Virus. They surmise the virus infected oil leaked to the engine and was burned with the fuel causing the virus to be expelled where it leaked into the car....or something.

Doesn’t matter cause we’re all gonna die from the virus anyway. Everyone, everything including dogs, cats, canaries, parakeets and goldfish...all gone....

It is also highly likely they are miscounting Flu deaths as Covid. CDC just recalled their covid test because it cannot tell the difference between flu and covid. CDC claim it can but if it can, there no reason to recall test. CDC would simply roll out the new one as the old ones were used up

Hospital administrators caught on camera scheming to fabricate covid numbers

In a shocking video clip (included in the Situation Update podcast below), with an accompanying transcript courtesy of InfoWars.com, we see hospital marketing and administration personnel admitting they plan to deceptively count all patients in the hospital as “covid” patients. They openly discuss finding a way to make covid more “scary to the public” as a tactic to terrorize the public into taking more vaccines (which will, of course, increase the business for the hospital due to vaccine-induced blood clots).

See the full article and video here (it will blow your mind).

We’ve seen plenty in the last year and a half.

Or would have if the families could have held them.

None died from CoupFlu.

Interesting article. No mention of the financial incentive to admit covid patients into the hospital, though.
