NYC Health Commissioner: COVID Hospitalizations a Fraction of Prior Peaks, Hospitals ‘in a Solid Position’
breitbart.com ^ | 12/21/2021 | Ian Hatchett

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Dave Chokshi stated that while COVID cases and test positivity have seen steep increases, “we have not seen the same thing with respect to the markers of severe disease, particularly hospitalizations.” And hospitals are currently in “a solid position” with hospitalizations well below the peaks from the spring of 2020 and last winter.

Chokshi said, “We’ve seen cases and test positivity increase sharply, but, as yet, we have not seen the same thing with respect to the markers of severe disease, particularly hospitalizations. Right now, there are about a thousand people hospitalized with COVID-19 across New York City, that’s about a quarter of where we were at the peak of last winter’s wave and less than a tenth of where we were in the spring of 2020.”

Co-host John Berman later asked, “As of now, the hospitals not being taxed, capacity is okay as of now?”

Chokshi responded, “Yes, that’s correct. We’re watching it closely. We’re making adjustments as we need to. But right now, we are in a solid position.”

Yeah, but brandon said they'll be full of death and suffering of the unvaxxed in short order. Even if they have to pull folks off the street and infect them so they will not be wrong yet again. I'm sure there are FReepers that get tested for various reasons. We only have been tested prior to medical procedures. All with negative results. Or was it "not inidcated"? Anyway, good luck just in case. :-} (Happy first day of winter.)

Well… Duh! They should have paid more attention to South Africa’s experience with Omicron and less to the functional idiot Fauci.

What’s important is for the headlines to switch 180 degrees every so often.

They will claim they didn’t have a run because most people were vaccinated.

Next up, NYC Health Commissioner steps down "for family reasons."

You have to support the message and the agenda. That position is a little too high profile to be allowed to wander off the ranch.

If Omicron is a mile cold, what’s up with the distress over hospital capacity? Do people with mild colds get admitted? I don’t think so.

From the town cryers one would think EVERY case requires hospitalization and ventilators.

All you hear about is how the number of infections is up and hospitalizations are up. They won’t tell you that Wuhan/moronic virus is sending very few people to the hospital, and is more like a mild cold. The facts being omitted/suppressed tell the tale, and make it clear that the intention is to promote fear through propaganda.
