Ending up in the ICU with covid and from covid are very different things. You literally cannot get admitted to a hospital without getting a covid test and becoming a covid hospitalization or death. The testing itself causes issues as my son was admitted for appendicitis and they refused to remove the appendix until he had results from a covid test which at the time took about 2 days. Well they let his appendix burst and he ended up having to stay in the hospital for 2 weeks instead of what should have been a couple hour stay.
- cudgy 5y agoThat must have been unbelievably frustrating and helpless experience. Are all patients tested for Covid? I wonder if unvaccinated are more likely to be tested or required to be tested when admitted to a hospital than vaccinated patients. If so, the stats for hospitalizations with covid are biased and less useful. The question is to what degree.
