I’m not arguing that there’s not a “case surge”. If you test everyone who walks in a hospital door (which we are), you’re going to find “cases”. If you did this with influenza, you’d find the same thing. People go in to the ER for a broken leg, have a positive covid test, and get counted as a covid admission. This isn’t fiction: multiple state health departments have admitted it is happening. It’s too difficult to try to determine if Covid is “the reason” for an admission, so nobody tries. Therefore, the only important question is: how are hospitals faring relative to any other year? And so far, the answer is that it looks like a moderately bad flu season. To hype the narrative that “hospitals are overwhelmed”, the news media routinely cherry-picks one or two hospitals, fixates on them for a week, then moves on to the next. https://mobile.twitter.com/justin_hart/status/1327740997078380544 https://mobile.twitter.com/justin_hart/status/13277409970783...
