Hospitals to change how they report COVID hospitalization data
WHEC ^ | Jennifer Lewke

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — Gov. Kathy Hochul delivered her COVID-19 briefing in Rochester

“We're not in a good place, I'm going to be really honest with you… this is the winter surge we predicted,” she said.

In Monroe County, there is currently less than 2% of available staffed ICU capacity and hospitalization numbers continue to rise.

Starting Tuesday, Gov. Hochul will ask hospitals to report whether a patient is in the hospital for COVID-19 or if they tested positive for COVID-19 while being treated for another ailment.

Someone is in a car accident they go to the emergency room they test positive for COVID while they're there, they're not they're being treated for COVID… Now someone's condition can worsen while they're in the hospital, I'm not saying that won't happen but I've just been doing a random call around to some of the hospital leaders that I touch base with and I'm seeing numbers from 20% to sometimes 50%. We don't have clear data right now, that's anecdotal,” the governor explained.

So, Gov. Hochul wants the hard numbers.

“Beginning tomorrow [Tuesday] we're going to be asking all hospitals to break out for us, how many people are being hospitalized because of COVID symptoms, how many people happen to test positive just while they're in there for other treatments,” she said, “I think that's important, I just want to be honest with New Yorkers about how bad this is. Yes, the number of people infected is high but I want to see whether or not the hospitalizations correlate with that.”

News10NBC reached out to our local hospitals. A spokeswoman for UR Medicine said that its system tracks asymptomatic and symptomatic patients and the reason for admission. That’s the data it will start providing to New York State on Tuesday.

The leftists need to claim a win on Covid for the Fall elections, so now they need to tamp down the numbers. Two years into this fiasco.

Exactly- and the unvaccinted will count as covid cases in NY- even if they go to the hospital for a broken arm.

Will people ever learn how much capacity was reduced in hospitals due to jabbed mandates?
How many more staffed ICU would be around during a pandemic if they didn’t fire the staff that was on the front lines before the jabs and mandates?

"Anecdotal"

There's that word that we know so well. And that means, WITHOUT A DOUBT, Fauci wrote her speech.

The clue is "staffed"....well duh....you fired them for no reason. They have been working for almost two years without being vaccinated...Another 6 months would make a difference??

Idiots.

Amazing how they finally want the real numbers now that Brandon is in the WH and the case numbers are worse than Trumps ever were.

Added context.

Using the logic they’ve insisted on for Covid tracking, since about 75% of Americans have been given at least one shot of a Covid vaccine, I would guess about 75% of hospitalized Americans are “vaccine cases”. Many of them will die, particularly the very elderly. Scary, isn’t it?

This should have been the case all along. Now let’s go back look at past cases of COVID using this criterion.

One small country - Finland, perhaps? - recently analyzed deaths and went from about 200,000 to well under 500 Covid deaths - that is, where people died of the effects of the cold that is Covid and not of something else while they coincidentally tested positive for the virus.

I think every country in the world should do this.

An interesting disconnect is going on - the Regime and their stooges are in retreat while the media continues to shriek about getting tested and taking the shot day after day.

The CDC approved test kits are now being called defective because those with a negative result do not believe it and are going to test sites to get the real false testing positive by design.

The “% of STAFFED ICU capacity” is the clue as to what’s going on...
