many observers.. have noted that cases are not the correct metric to measure the impact of Covid. We have also questioned hospitalization and death numbers in an environment where every patient who arrives in an emergency room receives a test..
Fauci partially vindicated our assertions. .. finally said that the focus should be on hospitalizations, not cases.
...
As you get further on and the infections become less severe, it is much more relevant to focus on the hospitalizations as opposed to the total number of cases,” Fauci told George Stephanopoulos .. In reality, infections were less severe in vast swaths of the population all along, and hospitalizations were probably always the correct number. When he appeared on MSNBC on Friday, Fauci also admitted that when children get hospitalized, it is with Covid instead of because of Covid. This has been the case throughout the pandemic, thanks to incidental testing. Two retrospective studies in California published in May of 2021 found pediatric hospitalizations were overcounted by at least 40%.

Delgado also noted the number of people with mild or no symptoms coming to the ER for testing because of the .. testing ... This trend is a result of the panic created by public health leaders like Fauci over the last two years
...
Americans have been dealing with overestimates and poor metrics for nearly two years. It is time to demand accurate statistics for hospitalizations and deaths. Every governor should be requesting this granular level of information from hospitals since the CDC refuses to differentiate. The prepositions “with,” “for,” and “from” matter, and every state leadership team should demand their statistics be categorized that way.

When looking at Missouri, I just look at remaining ICU bed capacity. It’s currently 20% and has ranged from 14-21% over the year or more that I’ve been checking it. I don’t know what pre-covid capacity was.
That was true at the very beginning of the pandemic!
99% survival rate! 40% of all Covid-deaths were in rest homes!
Death rates were always the way to go!

Fear has been sold and is out there. People live in fear of the flu and that’s it. Damage is done.
It’s an election year, democrats in control of everything. Time for the narrative to change.
The county that I live in lags behind the state and nation in “fully” vaccinated rate.
About 10 per cent behind the state which is pretty much in line with reported national rate.
The story goes that in the nation “Covid” death increased in 2021 over 2020.
Yet in this county “Covid” deaths decreased significantly.
My math indicates by about a third using “official” county data from local county health department, but NO ONE in local media seems interested in telling that story.
All propaganda is aimed at demonizing the “unvaccinated”, although there never is logic offered for doing that.
skyrocketing cases are unimportant to fauci and the rest of fascists ONLY because the fascist left is now in charge ... time to switch to a more favorable metric so they can pretend they’ve “fixed” the problem ...
