So there was article that said 30 to 60 of reported covid hospitalizations were actually people who went in for something else, broken leg, gall bladder, etc. They tested positive and are reported as covid hospitalization. It also mentions that people are kept longer, why if I'm not sick and leg fixed my ass is leaving. Why would they keep you longer just because tested positive? Makes zero sense just taking up beds and staff.
Thoughts? I think more scare tactics to keep the sheeple in line and justify the vaccine mandates.

Even the administration is starting to circle back. I'm sure they'll take credit. People have literally been saying this for a year, but the narrative was more advantageous to just shut down. They finally have seen the landslide in front of them and now will try to paint a better picture before November.

What? You didn't think the corrupt politicians mandating health insurance wouldn't figure out ways to use it to rob people?

So some so called "expert" said we shouldn't write off non covid admission patients that test positive as they draw resources from stats.. Well if not very sick send them home then.
Also insurance companies have to cover so many tests per month(not sure if at home or not), mso what are the chances people don't order them have insurance pay(thus we pay from premiums going up) and resell them for a nice profit? I'm not looking forward to how high our insurance goes this coming year.

Well, that's what happens when they give financial incentives if the patients are covid positive.

The left is getting worried about midterms, I think we're going to see them backtrack on a lot of things in the coming months.

Head of the CDC stated that 75% of the counted deaths were from something else rather than covid. How long will the majority continue to believe the lies coming from the CDC & the current administration? Hospitals got, and are still getting, a fat fee from treating 'covid' patients. They see everyone else lying, and since the .gov prevented the hospitals from performing good paying elective surgeries, they see no issues with claiming everyone has covid and collecting fat paychecks from the .gov.

About a week later it just shrivels up and falls off.

Uh-oh. You're going to need three Kleenex, a dose of Nyquil, and a long movie to watch.

Then it's over.

Omicron is "Covid Lite".

I was surprised to learn they don’t tell you what variant you have. The results are just positive or negative. I’m not vaccinated BTW.

My symptoms have been pretty manageable. Some chills, a MASSIVE headache one day and some aches here and there. Coughing has been minimal, no loss of smell or taste although my appetite is completely gone.

How many days in are you? I was good until day three and then I hit a wall...or a truck hit me. Not sure which.

Well, I guess you are a statistic now.

You nailed it. Work. They’ve got me working remote for a couple weeks which is perfectly OK with me.

Saturday night I started feeling a bit off. Sunday when I woke up I knew something was up. I tested Monday, got the results today.
