New York state hospitals will have to start reporting the numbers of patients being treated for symptoms of COVID-19 separately from those who test positive after being admitted for other reasons, Gov. Kathy Hochul said Monday.
Hochul said that amid a surge in hospitalizations tied to the spread of the highly contagious Omicron variant, she was “disappointed to see that at least a certain percentage overall are not related to being treated for COVID.”
Hochul said she’d “been doing a random call around to some of the hospital leaders that I touch base with” and was “seeing numbers from 20 to sometimes 50 percent.”
The reported number of COVID-19 hospitalizations, one of the primary metrics for tracking the severity of the coronavirus pandemic, was grossly inflated for children in California hospitals, two research papers published Wednesday concluded. The papers, both published in the journal Hospital Pediatrics, found that pediatric hospitalizations for COVID-19 were overcounted by at least 40 percent, carrying potential implications for nationwide figures. ... Taken together, these studies underscore the importance of clearly distinguishing between children hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 found on universal testing versus those hospitalized for COVID-19 disease.
nowhere does ANY official source expressly say they're "deaths or hospitalizations caused by covid". it's always "deaths or hospitalizations with covid". you're just completely fucking wrong.
before i address that, do you accept that "covid deaths" as measured in the US and UK is "deaths with potential covid" rather than "deaths from covid"?
if your answer is no, then you're on your own because you clearly don't care about facts and evidence.
All over the world more people are dying than would normally be expected. https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covid. You're out there with your head down and your ass up, looking for reasons why it's not covid.
now get fucked you tranny faggot

While you're out there in the weeds looking for specific leaves that are bent the way you want them to be, what's your explanation for all the extra deaths? https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

I don't care about semantics.

Why is that?
one thing at a time. do you accept we're measuring deaths WITH covid rather than deaths FROM covid?
