As yet another wave of Covid-19 infections sweeps through New York, officials say the number of infected patients who have been hospitalized has hit a three-month high and is nearing 3,000.
The good news is that slightly more than half of hospitalized Covid-19 patients are in the hospital with Covid, not because of it, suggesting that the new wave generally causes milder symptoms.
Hospitalizations are also less than five times what they were at the peak of the omicron variant in January, and but a fraction of the 19,000 Covid hospitalizations in April 2020.

So then why even mention the number!?
Glad I didn’t return to Yisroel if the NWO is running the quarantine, hack your genes again or else script in the upcoming flu season. Shmad.
Shavuos with masks and cheesecake with zinc??
Fifth wave? More like fiftieth
They just can’t stop talking about covid
Enough already
Enough with the fear mongering. Yes there are people testing positive. I’m sure if you would force people to take flu, strep or any other culture so religiously you’d see a big jump in numbers. Just like any other virus people are affected in different ways. I think the more serious cases these days are with the people who locked themselves up for two years with zero exposure to the virus. No when they try to reenter society they get hit hard because their immune system doesn’t have antibodies and fighting it off.
“The good news is that slightly more than half of hospitalized Covid-19 patients are in the hospital with Covid, not because of it, suggesting that the new wave generally causes milder symptoms.”
Whoever wrote this should explain how it’s possible to know this. Does it mean someone was in the hospital already before they got COVID? Or does it mean that they had COVID plus something else, and you are not counting that as hospitalized because of COVID? Also (most important) where do you get that data? And how does it compare to previous strains?
“The good news is that slightly more than half of hospitalized Covid-19 patients are in the hospital with Covid, not because of it”.
This was always the case, the only difference is now they’re admitting it.

At least try to hide your excitement.
