NY makes major adjustment to COVID hospitalization reporting during omicron surge

Never heard of this concept before. Genius!!!

As the story you want the numbers to tell changes, so to you change the numbers.

At least this is a more accurate way to get at the true severity of the situation.

A complete 180 from de Blasio. Don’t like that he kept see Blasio’s mandate though.

Yep, suddenly the scam no longer serves them so they start actually reporting true numbers. imagine that

Again, my cynical side thinks it’s because now there needs to be an end in sight. Covid needs to been significantly “under control” or a distant memory by the end of summer.

Power, money, and celebrity all seem to be "Do as I say, not as I do" passes. What a crock.

Yep. Even if this is just a NY thing it served Hochul given that the populace will no longer put up with the power grab. She'll be able to point to a big drop-off in severe effects of Covid and claim credit.

Should have been reported this way all along but that wouldn't have facilitated such a big power grab in the first place.

I expect we'll see CDC guidance to count this way; Fauci has already switched his language to this metric --- gotta show how those policies "shut down" Covid.

Agree in general but at least he's not hiding it like some of the others have done (only to be busted).

Panem et circenses. Oh, what we let happen for the sake of panem et circenses.

I don’t have a problem with him, but with Australia. This is absolute horseshat for all the citizens who have lived under their heavy handed policies.

Yeah, crazy. I'm just imaging (or fabricating) things.

Ohio judge orders halt of ivermectin for covid-19 patient

If it isn't the doctors standing in the way, it is hospital administrations or pharmacies.

Doctors have the right to prescribe the patient care plan they see fit. If the patient doesn’t like it, they can go elsewhere

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

it’s sad that people opposed to government mandates want the government to mandate their beliefs.

I'm not supporting mandates on anything. I'm pointing out roadblocks that have been put in place to slowdown or halt individuals from taking their medical decisions in their own hands. I've told you before about the troubles the people I know had in West Tennessee getting Ivermectin. It easy to say "just get a new doctor/pharmacist" in a metro area. There are convenient choices available within a reasonable distance. But when you are having to go from Huntingdon/Camden area to Chattanooga to get a prescription filled because of all of these roadblocks, that is a problem. When others are unable (or unaware) of these other options, they are forced to improvise. And when you are in a hospital bed and waiting to die, at that point, it isn't about a doctor's right to treat. It is about that patient's right to try whatever measures they can to save their life. The doctor doesn't have a right to deny anyone a particular treatment because of their beliefs. That patient should be able to have all medical treatments made available to them.

Lastly, these "roadblocks"... I find it odd/curious that we have so much resistance on what many would call experimental treatments that go outside of the approved narrative, yet we are more than willing to inject jabs that are equally (if not more) dubious and experimental. That is problem. Why is one experimental path left wide open, but these other alternatives closed? Especially when most of these people standing in the way know "the chances of harm are very small" for using these alternatives.

Here’s a question for the medical types on this board. Assume you could totally 100% prevent a virus from entering your nose or mouth (SCBA mask). Would there still be a high probability of contracting an airborne virus through your eyes?

NBC News suggests children should wear two masks to prevent COVID: 'You want to layer'

And they found another doctor to prescribe them Ivermectin and were prevented from having this other doctor treat the patient. Instead some guy wearing a black robe decides to shut down the patient's new doctor.

But Monday, after Smith's wife and the doctor who prescribed him the ivermectin failed to provide "convincing evidence" at a court hearing to show that the drug could significantly improve his condition, a different judge reversed course. Butler County Judge Michael A. Oster Jr. ordered the hospital to cease administering Smith, 51, the unproven treatment, arguing that "judges are not doctors or nurses."

It is impossible for me to see women with any attractive qualities make these comments, without laughing to myself.

Again because the hospital admitting physician is in care of the patient. The hospital can not let some out of system doctor come treat one of their patients. That is both a liability and stupid

Here we go... the lawyers.

Well it’s called reality. Insurance won’t allow it, civil lawsuits won’t allow it, and usually hospital guidelines won’t allow it. For several reasons, and a lot of them common sense

So what did she die from? I am so sick of the .gov and media reporting anyone that tests positive for covid reported as dying from covid.

Absolutely they did.

You're not helping your case. You're pointing out yet another layer between patients and treatment that is unnecessary.

Also, the guy was on a ventilator for a while and then placed in a medically induced coma. I'm sure insurance and hospital bills were racking up. Now we are saying that moving this guy in the condition he's in to another facility that is "out of system". That is more reasonable than keeping him where he is and allowing this other doctor to throw a Hail Mary on this experimental medicine? The wife even offered to sign a waiver...
