If the case counts are so "over counted" and cases, per your implication, are either level or dropping, why is their such increasing pressure on ERs, ICU units and hospital morgues? Ockham’s Razor!!!
post the data then bruh “While ICU occupancy is on the rise, so are beds used for general medical/surgical use, TMC data shows. ICU bed usage has maintained a 3.2% average daily growth over the last seven days, while medical/surgical bed use is on a 3.3% rise.” https://communityimpact.com/houston...se-despite-continued-covid-19-case-increases/
You know the 1st shut down, they stopped a lot of procedures for the “surge” that never came. This doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out.
Like I said, .. they made the determination before the published study in the Journal of Infectious Disease, and it was a flawed conclusion based on studies that gave HCQ at later times in the disease time line. You and FDA, who I used to work for, ain’t got nothing Because I’m a Pharmacologist and know bull shit when I see it. Again, reference HCQ study in Journal of Infectious Disease. Because I used to TEACH the Fucking Doctors Pharmacology and know a hell of lot more about it than you or a bunch of bureaucrats from FDA, or reporters from CNN or MSNBC. Here is you a nice article about what has happened to HCQ .... from one of your own https://www.npr.org/sections/health...tics-around-hydroxychloroquine-hamper-science ... your fucking buddies destroyed the opportunity because they didn’t want Trump to be right! You are supporting a political narrative. Period ... end of story. If this was Obama, you would be wondering what the hell is wrong with the FDA.
I’ll be up front and acknowledge you asked for data. I’m not going to pursue since I’m 100% certain nothing I posted would affect your opinion. And it doesn’t matter what either of us think, the reality will play out before us.
cases are not over counted. At least not in Tejas. Tejas is not counting probable as actual, much to the chargrin of Alex Jones and his like.
Yes I don’t dream this up. Don’t get me wrong, there is ample data, but it is disparate in nature and not worth the effort to pull/adjust the data from the individual states for apples to apples comparison. The recent direction to switch Covid-19 reporting from CDC to HHS, though troubling to some, will be a good thing. Specifying the the data and format will ultimately provide national data in apples to apples format. Centralized and highly structured data should have been mandated from day one one. Soon, and I’m assuming the data sets will be made available, there will be no question, since the data will be there.
But your post asked about hospital beds. Beds that were denied normal procedures "in-case" of covid surge are now being used in addition to covid beds. ICU beds normally run at 80-85% capacity anyway.
