About half the Covid-19 hospital beds are filled with people who aren't sick with Covid-19

Doctors reviewed hospital admission data for Covid-19. 40 to 45% of the patients were not admitted because of the virus and were not treated for the virus either.   The admission data referencing the virus meant their immune systems had encountered the Covid-19 virus, not that they were in a hospital bed because of it.   Did you read that hospitals in the US are now getting only $40,000 top-up federal aid per patient identified with traces of Covid-19?

If there were fewer lies and less wilful fudging of data, I'd find it easier to respect 'experts'.

The data is from a joint study of the Harvard Medical School, Tufts Medical Center and Veteran Affairs.

The study analyzed the electronic records for nearly 50,000 COVID hospital admissions from VA hospitals nationwide. According to The Atlantic, the authors then “checked to see whether each patient required supplemental oxygen or had a blood oxygen level below 94 percent. [The latter criterion is based on the National Institutes of Health definition of ‘severe COVID.’] If either of these conditions was met, the authors classified that patient as having moderate to severe disease; otherwise, the case was considered mild or asymptomatic.”
