The over reporting of cases covers more than just what they are doing in the hospitals.  First we have the infamous PCR test, which comes up with false positives because of too many cycle thresholds.  As a personal example, my daughter was exposed to someone supposedly who had the virus.  She had zero symptoms but out of an abundance of caution she went ahead and got both an antigen and PCR test.  Her antigen test was negative and her PCR was positive.  This would have been counted as an asymptomatic positive case.  Did she have the virus?  Hell no.  Was she counted as a positive case?  Yes.

Then there is the issue of hospitalizations which you addressed so well.  Another personal example. My Mom made her final trip to the hospital before she passed away.  When she was admitted it was a no on Covid.  They tested her several times while she was there and was negative every time.  And yet when my wife accessed her chart using MyCharts they changed her to a Covid case.   So I am betting they got the extra cash for the case of Covid.  That is what is driving them to list everything as Covid.....money.

When she passed I told the doctor in no uncertain terms that the term Covid better not be on her death certificate and it wasn't.  But I suspect that a great number of deaths from a multitude of causes were listed as Covid because of the overstated test results and what hospitals are doing.  

I still maintain that Omicron is mostly the annual flu and cold but the test is calling to Covid.  Combine that with the faulty test and we have a huge surge.  This is a worldwide problem, not just the U.S.

By the way, thanks for the kind words about my Mom passing.  She will be sorely missed as she lived with us for almost 20 years.  It's very strange to not have her here but am glad she is no longer suffering.
