#Covid #Hospitalizations #Omicron

We need lock down again. The people are not trying to make matters better. They no longer wear a mask and always gather in crowds. They are intentionally spreading and infecting others.
You so sick you able to stand outside for hours to take a test to confirm that you're sick. What the…
They never ONCE said the kids were being hospitalized FOR covid. That's not why they were there. Once they get there, they're testing everyone for covid with the PCR test that wasv supposed to be withdrawn on Dec 31st due to it's inability to tell the difference between all coronaviruses which includes the cold, flu and pneumonia. WAKE UP!!
NBC SPREADING THE " FERTILIZER " AS USUAL…..
BS!! MSM lying for big pharma!
Many people hospitalized in the Omicron surge are there for other reasons and have only mild COVID-19
In this article:
Some patients counted in COVID hospitalization stats are there for other reasons.
These "incidental" cases were found to be prominent in England and South Africa.
Experts including Dr. Anthony Fauci have also pointed to the phenomenon in the US.
A significant proportion of people hospitalized with COVID-19 in recent weeks were admitted for other reasons, according to health officials and government data.
The exact scale of the phenomenon in the US is not recorded in federal statistics, but has been noted anecdotally.
And Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser to the White House, described the phenomenon, specifically in children, in a Wednesday night interview with MSNBC.
Since all hospital admissions are tested for COVID-19, Fauci said, many are "hospitalized with COVID, as opposed to because of COVID." The real reason for hospitalization might be "a broken leg, or appendicitis, or something like that," he continued.
Julie Zauzmer Weil, a Washington Post reporter, said that a similar thing can happen with adults. Citing an unnamed DC-area health official, Weil wrote in a series of tweets that people with mild COVID who test positive are still counted in the headline hospitalization stats.
Other countries have produced data noting the same phenomenon of "incidental" COVID cases. In data published Friday by the UK National Health Service, 33% of the 8,321 COVID-positive cases in England on December 28 were admitted to the hospital for a different reason."
So, is this just some random phenomenon, or known and used to do push agendas?
* My apologies for having to cut and paste this from an article. Tried simply posting the Yahoo News link on several related sites, but YouTube likes to censor. I guess Business Insider is a dangerous publication 🤔
Poor people have turned ERs into urgent care facilities. You would be amazed how many obese do-nothings use the "amberlamps" as a taxi to the hospital.
I would also like to know how many of the people supposedly rushing to the ER because of "COVID" took the jab.
Why isn't the government spending more resources on testing and treatment, it's been 2 years and there is no consistency. Are we waiting for total chaos.
Who is surprised? Exactly who? Literally in the beginning of 2021 The UN’s WHO put forth a vote to get Poor African nations covid vaccines. Pfizer & Moderna lobbied the US to veto. Now we have more variants & mutations coming outta Africa.
The Fed’s were warned about exposing children in schools. Big Pharma again lobbied to open schools.
The age limit lowered & lowered again. Soon it’ll be newborns can get a vaccine.
At some point big Pharma’s profits will drop. What then?
Let me guess, in blue states it’s a crisis again like always. Pathetic!
It's cold and flu season. Ther has always been an increase in numbers in urget care/ER. Just more push for vaccines. Now on kids. Get vaccinated if you want. I haven't seen where it has made a difference. Everyone still getting covid or sick with something regardless. Boost your immune system naturally. Look up Dr. Eric Berg and Dr. Mandell (Motivational Doc) here on YouTube.
Isolation days US 5 China 20 New Zealand 14.
Covid deaths US 844,272 China 4,636 New Zealand 51.
The CDC spread misinformation that the US death toll is 10-15K less than it really is.
C'mon, it has been nearly 2 years. Start following New Zealand's pandemic leadership.
The USA, where you used to be able to own people but now suddenly wearing a mask is having your freedom taken away. H.Franklin
US parents protest at school meetings about? A: 185 school shootings in 10 years B: Masks.
Social media and mainstream broadcasts showing American pandemic mismanagement is BORING. Land of the free my butt.
The news SHOULD BE New Zealanders have ONLY 51 deaths NOT Americans having a WHOPPING 844,272 !
NBC and the rest of the MSM…your career dissipation lights are flashing. No one believes your lies anymore. Start looking for burger flipping jobs
Hey geniuses this virus isn't going anywhere. It's endemic! So how long are you going to keep pushing this b.s. are y'all just going to keep wearing masks and keep getting tested for the rest of your lives? Not to mention I don't know one single person who has died of covid but I do know quite a few that had it and were barely sick and got better.
How interesting that they have been demanding children get vaccinated before all of this and they did, and now we are seeing a rise in covid hospitalizations in children. How very interesting.
Stop the lies
No one believes or cares 👎
Lies and more lies. Eventually, the bill comes due for chronic liars.
Notice they always say hospitalizations are rising among children yet never have the number of children in hospitals with covid
"States See Troubling Rise In Pediatric Covid Hospitalizations" so let's #ConvinceItForward

"At home Covid testing results difficult to track". lol
CDC advisor Paul Offit CNN Dec. 28: "there's NOT an increase in children who are hospitalized BECAUSE they have covid." It's just unrelated hospitalizations WITH a positive test.
This is the key to the entire "pandemic".
How quickly were they released from the hospital? They had 3 weeks of data on admissions, but made no mention whatsoever about releases. "Panic, parents!"
Fear mongering your kids into the vaccine! Parents beware!!!
You are terrorists.
#MediaTerrorists
#HoldMediaAccountable
These people have been brainwashed. The other states are doing fine. No mask no Lockdowns.
Literally everyone around me in my immediate family is double vaxed and boosted and has contracted covid. 5 people. I'm unvaxed and have yet to contract it. Remind me again why patrons are being arrested in NY for not presenting their Vax card? Seems like you people are the ones spreading it.
Amazing because I live in Panama City Beach Florida. Over 100,000 vacay here every year. And in two years I've met two people that had covid. Both of them were vaccinated🤔 I am unvaccinated and I even sat in the same room with one of them that had covid 4 over half hour never got sick🤨
Nothing more than the fear mongering corporate news pushing its agenda. Here is objective proof that no one trust the corporate news anymore…Total views: 54,890..Total likes: 339..or .006% again numbers do not lie, corporate news does everyday in every way.
LOVE how the reporter walks towards people (without a mask) who have symptoms or was around someone with covid 😒 🤔
Democrat propaganda. None are being admitted.
Just think: the vaccines are so good you only need several of them.
The "news" is tailored to Garner support for whatever policy their pushing, in this case vaccinating children. First the policy, then the justification.
Democrats destroying the country is all this is . 99% of the problems in our country are created by democrat policy's at state and federal levels . They have all of the power now and is getting worse every day .
