I wonder if there is a new policy.? When I got covid last May, after the positive test results they sent me home and told me to take some advil if needed. I think maybe after a postive test they are sending the individual to ER - in order to up the numbers.

Thanks to EMTALA, people who show up at ERs, for any reason, cannot be turned away.
