COVID hospitalizations mat have been over-reported by half! So says liberal publication The Atlantic. Author David Zwieg says:
The study found that from March 2020 through early January 2021—before vaccination was widespread, and before the Delta variant had arrived—the proportion of patients with mild or asymptomatic disease was 36 percent. From mid-January through the end of June 2021, however, that number rose to 48 percent. In other words, the study suggests that roughly half of all the hospitalized patients showing up on COVID-data dashboards in 2021 may have been admitted for another reason entirely, or had only a mild presentation of disease.
So if you were among the reasonable people looking at the hospitalizations and deaths due to COVID as a measure of the need for masks, vax mandates and shutdowns of businesses–following the science– you were being fooled.
