Are the hospitalizations actually from covid? Or did they show up to the hospital for a separate reason and happened to have positive covid test as well?

- silisili 5y agoI imagine, but cannot confirm, the latter. It's titled COVID-19 Hospitalizations for the week of xxx. In any case, when more than half your population is vaccinated, especially the older aged folks, at that point it doesn't make a remarkable difference what it's from as the correlation is still clear.
- DeRock 5y agoAre you purporting that Covid numbers are overinflated only for non-vaccinated individuals, but not for vaccinated? Because otherwise it still doesn’t explain the discrepancy in hospitalization.
- anoonmoose 5y agoA 203:14 ratio when the country is over 50% vaccinated would be more bizarre, not less, if it was "all hospitalizations" and not "all COVID vaccinations" you'd need to come up with a good reason why unvaccinated people were about 10x (or more) likely to be hospitalized than vaccinated people
- neuronexmachina 5y agoI assume that both vaccinated and unvaccinated people who were hospitalized were tested for COVID-19. I wouldn't be surprised if the bulk of the vaccinated+positive were in this category.
