Coronavirus is one mutation away from infecting millions

[Adam Lambert]

You just answered your question

Good metric

Why is it good? What is the value of understanding the specific number of recovered COVID patients still taking up a hospital bed? Why is that substantially better than lumping them together as COVID patients?

COVID-related "death panels"

The potted plants are a nice touch tbh.

that. Triage the unvaccinated.

You cannot just lump them together. That would defeat the whole purpose of tracking COVID hospitalizations. (Patients with COVID taking up bed in COVID ward)

Of course theres value in.tracking Recovered COVID patients and those who have not recovered yet. Lol

wouldn't be surprised if that's happening somewhere; unvaxxed on vents aren't doing so well comparatively.

If the purpose of tracking COVID hospitalizations is to determine how many beds are taken as a result of COVID, then whether or not they still have COVID seems to be an irrelevant distinction to that purpose, unless you believe we should vacate those beds once the patient tests negative.

Then what is that value?

Recovery from COVID. See definition from CDC:

Patients who are symptomatic:

Resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications andSymptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath) have improved, andResults are negative from at least two consecutive respiratory specimens collected ≥24 hours apart (total of two negative specimens) tested using an FDA-authorized laboratory-based NAAT to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA. See Interim Guidelines for Collecting, Handling, and Testing Clinical Specimens for 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV).


This simply means the person has beat the virus. Its a success. Of course it has to be tracked.

If you lump these together w.metric 9f 0pl staying in hospital for other reasons then you are clouding the data.

They are tracked. We keep track of deaths and death rate. If they recover, they're not tracked as a death. Why is the specific detail of "recovered but still in the hospital" an important distinction when it comes to tracking recovery?

Because they recovered from.COVID. very important metric. Great to see which hospitals treat COVID with success.and which dont

Its ok to disagree

When patients recover, they are released, and they are no longer hospitalizations. If a patient is no longer infected with COVID but still dies of COVID related complications, that's not a recovery nor a success.

lol griping about juiced stats when COVID is causing health care to be rationed and forcing schools to be closed

How juiced could they possibly be at this point?

Deaths are about half what they were during the last wave.

Thanks for proving vaccines work, hater....again....

Not that great given the way they treat Covid has probably improved a.lot.

To think w the.improved.therapies and a very good vax they probably would have less.than a tenth of d deaths.

Noone vaxed should really be dying. But seems 35% of their dead are fully vaxed

Damn, Bexar County's positivity rate was dropping fast for a while, but now the positivity rate only inched down to 7.1% from 7.6% the previous week.

The good old days when people got vaccines without conducting their own “internet research” nor listening to tweeter experts.
