Biden wants to change how COVID hospitalizations are counted

[SugarDaddy1]

The Biden administration is reportedly changing the way COVID-19 hospitalizations are counted in a way that critics have been demanding for months.

According to Politico, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are asking hospitals to change how they report COVID-19 patients. The federal government now wants hospitals to distinguish between people who go to the hospital because they have COVID-19 from those who are admitted to the hospital for other reasons, like a broken leg, and then test positive for the virus.

Changing the way COVID-19 hospitalizations are reported could have a cascading effect on the federal government's response to the pandemic. Masking requirements, social distancing guidelines, and other coronavirus restrictions are enacted by public health officials who use case counts and hospitalizations as key metrics to gauge the severity of the virus.

The goal of the Biden administration is to have national data present a more accurate count of Americans who have been hospitalized because of COVID-19.

Maybe if Medicare stops paying incentives to hospitals for coding covid cases and deaths and/or pushing ventilators, the numbers would return to pre-covid accuracy!

Woah down, Nellie!...

You mean the covid stats are manipulated? That's outrageous! What's next? North Korea really did have more than 5 cases?

... and China topped out at under 4,000 deaths.

... and China topped out at under 4,000 deaths.

They don't count the deaths of anyone under 25 or over 26.

Yeah, NOW they want accurate reporting so that they can claim a victory.

"Look at how many fewer covid hospitalizations there are! Lockdowns and authoritarianism worked! Hail Biden! Hail Kamala! Hail the Great Reset!"

They just want the numbers to go down so that the public isn't stuck on crisis mode. They know that people are sick of this covid nonsense and they are going to start voting people out who don't see that.

No they don't want any more accurate counting than they did when they were trying to get Trump.

They just now want the counting to reflect what a great job they claim that Uncle Joe did.

Unlike Trump, the Failure. This is Biden, the Triumphant, the Covid Slayer, the King of Kings...,

Florida Gov. DeSantis says the "medical science didn't change" on mask mandates, "the political science changed."

Why do hospitals get paid 38k for a COVID case.....like no one is going to take advantage of that...and skew the numbers to show more cases.....same with the Medical Examiner ....for ever COVID death cause. But don't worry folks.....this pandemic will be a thing of the past in August.....just before the Mid Term Election count on it..
