    Probably because hospitalization for observation, or hospitalization for treatment, would all be counted the same. A hospital is also a good place to catch the Covid-19 virus. Remember, we had our first 14 cases here caused by ONE hospital in Kirkland. Those people were hospitalized for other reasons.

    So such numbers would tend to be skewed (for much the same reasons as measuring 'infection' rates based on test results (that may be producing false positives).

    I have already described where we are getting our data (at least for the CDC). They are listing those who are testing positive, and death certificates filed where Covid-19 was 'the cause'. The actual cause of death of course was suffocation from lung damage, a condition exacerbated by previous lung damage such as smoking, previous illness, or just plain old age.

    Good points; Hospitals are ALWAYS the last places you would want to go. They are virus incubators.

    Why is it that we NEVER see the number of Americans who actually have been hospitalized instead of "cases?"

    How do they even count the number of "cases" when they will not allow you to be tested without symptoms? Did 304,826 Americans get tested for the virus and show positive?

    This data just does not add up and, in my opinion, represent data that is severely distorted. In addition, China is either way under reporting their data, or the US is way OVER reporting theirs.

    Thoughts?
    All we get are meaningless projections and models from Faux Fauci.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    I noticed they have added a link to a page providing hospitilizations. Its a # per 1000 or maybe 100000 but lots of different ways.
    Yeah, its pretty low.

    To be expected really. Most old folks die of it with other cronic conditions leading to it. As its (c19) almost exclusively killing the elderly... well, it was a given

    TY That's what I thought. Yet we hear all these stories about running out of equipment and hospitals being overrun.

    Well they are having PPE (personal protective equipment) as you go through a lot of it for infectious stuff and c19 does raise the percentage of such patients so supply chains couldnt anticipate the jump in demand but so quickly. Add in that they would prefer to keep them in specially negatively vented and there are only so many such rooms so additional measures (work) is required to clean and disinfect.
    It does up the workload.
    Always a nugget of truth but perspective helps.
