If your child goes in for a broken leg to the Hospital, that counts as Covid stay

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

yes that is a discrepancy however that child will still be on the positive cases list so not much changes regardless.

financial incentive? OHIP is paid out based on cost of treatment conducted not case counts. there literally no financial incentive. try again. everything isn't a conspiracy breh. I'm gonna keep challenging you guys to think shyt out beyond just advancing conspiracies



to summarize your theory the hospitals is incentivized to over bill the government.

So you do admit, and agree that if a child comes into a hospital with a head bleeding, it shouldn't be counted as hospitalization for covid. The issue is, that is exactly what is happening. You ask, how is this benefiting the hospitals to report higher covid hospitalizations? Financial incentive.

The government is no longer paying for covid test so now they want to downplay it. We are on our own

it's more insidious than that, people who might have covid but never bother tested for it and later developed long-covid will have a harder time proving their status and will likely effect any future medical treatments or disability help. some people have speculated the government wants to ignore long-covid because it's too huge and costly a problem to address. there have already been a few articles about people facing an uphill battle proving they have long-covid to get into some studies or clinical trials for treatment because they never had proof they had covid in the first place, those are cases from early 2020. some families have tried to get covid funeral expense reimbursement from the government but have had issues proving their family member died of covid because they weren't tested before they died. lots of peoples 'cause of death' on their coroners report are listed as dying of flu-like symptoms.

We knew this already. They've been magnying and overemphasizing this virus off the strength of these hospitalization numbers as if it's the bubonic plague or some shyt and it's nothing of the sort.

That's not to say COVID isn't real or anything, but I mean at the end of the day it's a 99.something percent recovery rate. There have been far more dangerous viruses or plagues or what have you.

Hospitals are basing treatment paths on financial incentives.

Increased "child COVID hospitalization rates" reported in the media spread unnecessary fear. The implication is that they are there because of covid.

This logic is faulty and the problem. You can’t say there are far more dangerous viruses and plagues and downplay Covid considering all that’s happened it the last two years and the variants. This is unprecedented in this modern era. If it was simple to deal with or eradicate it would have been done already. There is no logical reason to keep Covid going as it’s already upended the US in a crazy way and exposed our weaknesses in terms of how businesses are ran, educating the mass public, and being able to control the spread due to political ideologies and misinformation.

 

[GnauzBookOfRhymes]

These are the kinds of details that people currently hiding under their blankets because of OMiCroN don't come across bc they literally only read headlines w/o context.

I have no problems with them testing anyone who comes into the hospital bc treatment options may change based on infection status, whether they are showing symptoms or not.

But it is fukkd up that they've never made more of an attempt to distinguish between the two.

 

[broller]

shouldn't be counted as a hospitalization for covid but will be counted as a positive infection regardless. doesn't really change much. they report both hospitalizations and positive cases. my city is locked down because of the amount of positive cases. the hospitalization from omicron has not been major.

But that's the thing, if they report that kid's positive swab as a COVID hospitalization, that's misleading.

99.watever% recovery rate this isnt the American plagues of the 16th century or some shyt. That's how it's been touted.

He @Amestafuu (Emeritus) was talking about Ontario

 

[LeVraiPapi]

I mean was the child showing symptoms? Why would you do a covid test for a broken leg? Basically it seems like they are trying to increase the number of cases on purpose any way they can.

it’s because of cohosting and infection control. Would you want your Covid negative child to be on a floor with a Covid positive child not isolated ?

What Fauci fails to realize as well is that a child may go for a broken leg but due to them having Covid, they have more complications such hyper coagulation and thrombotic events. That’s why we always make sure we test you so we can recognize the symptoms early

 

[ItzRailT]

Remember they was blocking people all over for saying a year or so ago? They fudging numbers but booster boys won’t acknowledge that, Big Pharma gonna continue getting money and democrats can never run opposed to big pharma ever again.

 

[levitate]

They need to make clear distinctions.

Add a fukking law to all those COVID relief packages that hammers hospitals for providing shytty data.
