> Eleven patients died of Covid in the first half of September at his hospital in Mount Pleasant, population 16,000. Typically, three or four nonhospice patients die there in a whole month. So, the rate has gone from 0.0002 to 0.0013. Yes, that is more than twice the rate. But is it statistically significant? What did they go to the hospital for, and what other co-morbidities did they have? Does the hospital test vaccinated people on entry for COVID, as they do for non-vaccinated? And do they continue to test vaccinated people at the recommend cycle threshold (28) and non-vaccinated people at higher than the recommended rate (40+)? Without context, it is very hard to draw conclusions from these statistics that constantly wash over us like flood water over a sunken bridge.
