Are COVID-19 hospitalization numbers at Bay Area hospitals inflated?
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | Sep. 21, 2021 | Eric Ting

It may be difficult to meaningfully analyze COVID-19 hospitalization data in 2021, a new study suggests.

(Excerpt) Read more at sfgate.com ...


TOPICS: Culture/Society
KEYWORDS: hcai; oshpd
The researchers found that from March 2020 through early January 2021, patients with mild or asymptomatic infections made up 36% of hospitalizations, but that number rose sharply to 48% from January 2021 to June 2021.


So 99.1% on the US population won't get COVID. Of that 0.9% that do get COVID and go to the hospital 50% have a mild case and do not go to the ICU. Shut down the country! It's a pandemic! Shut the schools, shut businesses, destroy the economy, end civil liberties!

A question not easily answerable.

In California the definitive data for hospitals comes from a state agency called OSHPD. Any other source is questionable.

And so far OSHPD is not issuing data on Wuhan Flu.

Of course they are. If you subsidize something, you get more of it.

I was just in the ER for a nasty cut needing stitches. It was empty. They had the dramatic triage tents again with cones directing traffic and all the pomp and circumstance befitting a Kung Flu pandemic. There were only a few cars. A few elderly people mulling about, nurses and doctors chatting away, but no patients anywhere. I was in and out without a wait.

Thanks. But I’m pretty sure we’re all going to die. All the best people are telling me so.

They have to be. The Feds cut back the amount of ‘aid’ given per case of CoVid from $75k to $55k, so they need to create more cases to make up the difference.

Follow the money. Do hospitals get bonus bucks for treating COVID? Draw your own conclusions.

kinda strange with all the cellphones that are equipped with cameras in today’s world there’s no pictures of kung flu patients overwhelming these hospitals...
