If presenting to a hospital with a mild case of COVID, many will send you home and tell you to come back if your breathing becomes difficult. People with asymptomatic COVID would not go to a hospital. So this survey is saying patients are being coded for COVID because they are at the hospital for something else.
We know folks who’ve been symptomatic with CoupFlu and couldn’t get treatment, let alone hospitalization, until they showed up at the ER presenting with COVID pneumonia.
They’re sending them home without treatment.
That is what I find unconscionable.
