Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

I guess if we stop testing for Cancer, it will disappear also... Or stop testing for high blood pressure and cholesterol, the number of heart attacks will go way away... Stop testing for diabetes, those with diabetes will appreciate that, as they will no longer have it and the numbers will go away...
I see your logic, it's great....

 

False equivalence as cancer is real, although I’m not sure that we’re doing ourselves any great favors jumping all over every lump and bump we find and freaking out at any given blood pressure or blood chemistry reading.

Want to try again ? A more honest approach ?

 

Oh no, that little guy di-dint!

So should we stop testing the people who are continuing to show up in emergency rooms, hospitals and doctors' offices with Covid symptoms, who are then diagnosed with and treated for actual Covid?

Covid has not gone away, no matter what you believe. Or should the medical professionals just start calling it something else to satisfy you?

 

Covid is officially a cold/flu. That is how you treat it 99% of the time.

There really is no need to test for Covid outside you get to the point you must go to the ER/Doctor due to extended fever/fluids/oxygen numbers drop crazy low. All very rare. Though a lot of people will go to the doctor prematurely imo. Which is fine as we all have different thoughts and expectations when it comes to each individuals health.

But Covid is nothing to be concerned about other than it stinks to get sick now.

 

Officially a cold / flu? By whose determination, yours? Clearly you are not a doctor nor do you work in healthcare.

If Covid is nothing to be concerned about or doesn't exist, why are there people still contracting it and admitting to my county's hospitals?

And by the way, I don't suppose you care to offer expertise on the Legionnaire's outbreak in New York? Something else to disregard, even though people have died?

 

LOL! Is your county hospital being overflowed with covid right now?!?!?

As sad as it is that this became so political. Even the left know that is pure nonsense today.

The lies about people being admitted to hospitals “for” covid was one of the biggest propaganda lies we saw during the pandemic. It caused real damage to healthcare. That will last for decades.

 

I never said being overflowed, but there are new cases every week.
So what should the diagnoses be for those currently needing hospitalization? What is your non-political label? I can assure you it ain't colds / flu.
