Hospitalized With or From??

I read further down the Twitter feed- someone posted a link to a NY high-schooler's account of what is actually happening in the school - holy cow!
He is begging for remote learning, as unsatisfactory as it is.

Doing so would be bad health care policy, and inaccurate in regards to how we treat medical deaths across the board.

Not to mention, what about states where they intentionally suppressed counts by listing deaths as other causes (e.g. stroke, blood clots, cardiac arrest), when the proximal cause of those aspects were COVID.

We know a simple fact. Based on excess deaths, we are undercounting COVID deaths. Any revisions to the numbers would be political, and not guided by existing health care guidelines.

But recent decisions by the CDC have been purely politically guided, and not based on science, so it would be par for the course. As I said under the previous administration, the CDC is in an awkward position, they are guided by two arms, politics and science. When those are in conflict politics often wins.

Great data that if I'm reading correctly hospital utilization throughout the whole pandemic never reached pre pandemic (2019) levels.  Can that be true?

While there are certainly clear cut cases like a broken leg even those require a higher level of care that take up hospital space. Many of the for/with cases aren't clear cut. During the Omnicrom Wave hosptials had a lot of patients with chronic conditions exacerbated by COVID. These folks were technically admitted for another condition, but COVID caused it to flare up.

Absolutely! 

I guess I was just surprised to see that at no point in the past 2 years of the pandemic we're hospitals overrun at unprecedented levels like it was being portrayed in the media.  Even looking at regional breakdowns that would better highlight the seasonal spikes across the country throughout a calendar year hospital utilization never topped 2019 levels if I'm reading the data correctly that is.

What about emergency rooms and ICUs?

Emergency room data is in there (down as well) but doesn't specifically break out ICU numbers.
