In this case though a user has tried to link something as obvious as "hospitals don't know on admission that you have covid, they just know you're sick" to try to claim that there's some conspiracy.
It's a clear attempt at misinformation and should not be tolerated.
- refurb 5y agoHuh? These people went to the hospital and were admitted for X. X being any number of medical conditions requiring hospitalization. You can be admitted for the reason “person is sick”, you need some diagnosis or complaint, however vague They later tested positive for Covid. How is that misinformation? If people come to the hospital with complaints of fever or breathing difficulties, they can do a covid test prior to admission to determine if they are positive. I’d say it’s misinformation to claim those people were hospitalized because of covid, which is what the original reporting suggested.
- AnotherGoodName 5y ago> they can do a covid test prior to admission to determine if they are positive. No they don't. Admission is done immediately. No doctor is going to wait for a test result before admitting a patient suffering respiratory problems.
- refurb 5y agoThey excluded “complications of Covid” so positive test wasn’t needed, could be suspected Covid as well. Are you really that shocked that people are being hospitalized for reasons other than Covid? I mean, do you think people who have Covid and another problem just don’t go to the hospital?
