Covid Hospitalization Myth Blown Up - 57 of Hospitalized Had No Symptoms
-overall tallies of COVID hospitalizations do not differentiate based on severity of illness; some require supplemental oxygen, some getting intubated but many have mild symptoms but have been admitted for further observation on account of their comobidities
-another portion are in the hospital are for something unrelated to COVID, and only discovered they had COVID when they were tested upon admission
-how many patients fall into each category has been a topic of speculation; In August, researchers from Harvard Medical School, Tufts Medical Center and Veterans Affairs Healthcare system decided to find out
-they analyzed the electronic records for 50K COVID hospital admissions, and checked to see whether each patient required supplemental oxygen or had a blood oxygen below 94%
-From Mar202 to Jan 2021, the proportion of patients with mild or asymptomatic disease was 36%. From Mid Jan to End of June, that number rose to 48%, suggesting half of all hospitalized patients showed up were admitted for another reason or had a mild presentation of symptoms
-the increase was bigger for vaccinated patients where 57% had mild or asymptomatic disease.

So simple as I've explained before, Ivermectin, the Nobel Prize winning drug for humans should be used for prevention and treatment , and the hospital counts of ppl being there with Covid rather than with Covid should not be included in the metrics.
