COVID hospitalizations numbers are bunk

Looks like nearly half of reported covid hospitalizations are unrelated to covid in adults. Same with children.

Yea, like car accident deaths and gun shot victims that died with covid being counted as covid deaths too?

So if you go get a bam infusion or remdesevir, a one hour process, and are released after that hour then you are a covid hospitalization.
How many are getting the monoclonal antibodies?

Remdesivir is not given to outpatients. It would probably be safe to say anyone who got it was in the hospital and legitimately in the hospital.
The monoclonal antibodies are specifically not available to inpatients. People who receive an outpatient infusion are not counted as hospital stays, at least anywhere that I’ve ever worked.

Covid hospitalization < > inpatient
ER visits counted as Covid hospitalizations

Duh.... Now do deaths "with" instead of "of".... This is what happens when you incent hopsitals to treat Covid patients.

True, that is because it is more likely to kill your kidneys or fork with you in some way than it is to help.
