decoupling is hopium that the vaccines are so good and omicron is so mild that you can have a million cases but it doesn't matter, maybe one of them is going to get sick enough to feel anything. so cases don't cause hospitalizations any more

the hospitalizations don't count either because the disease is so mild and under control that people are going out and living their lives even after they have covid, and they're going to the hospital only after they break their arm rock climbing and then test positive for covid and didn't even know they had it (because it's so mild you don't notice it)

Man it's weird that BASE jumping took off as a hobby at the same time as COVID and now we have millions of excess broken arms with incidental COVID filling hospitals left and right. I heard half the million dead were in car wrecks! even though there's like only 50k fatal motor vehicle wrecks annually.

this...this might be the version i have. been crazy tired for the past three days with a slight cough but even eating oatmeal and soup is giving me some real delightful stomach issues. admittedly i have pretty bad IBS so who knows if its COVID or just the normal hell i deal with regularly

So what should a person do once they pop hot? Lotta water, keep the vitamin D up, probably stay on baby aspirin at least for a while if it can help at all with minimizing micro clots

excuse me sir, sir? can you resuscitate for just a moment? would you say you're dying BECAUSE of covid? sir?

The most common reasons for hospitalization are birth, heart failure, and sepsis. All of those conditions make it bad news if you catch covid in the hospital!

I'm just a lowly librarian, but what the gently caress does this even mean?

"hospitalizations and cases are decoupled" would seem like it means that cases are going up but hospitalizations are not seeing a corresponding increase? We can already see an increase in hospitalizations here. This seems particularly weird in a study of patients admitted to a hospital. Didn't 100% of these cases get admitted? Also who the hell is getting admitted without severe COVID?

It's a weird, stupid way of phrasing the idea that you can get a lot of cases and not a lot of hospitalizations. It also... doesn't actually make any sense. No one credible ever claimed that vaccines provide 10000000% protection against hospitalization. Vaccines could be 99% effective and there would still be a direct relationship between case spikes and hospitalization spikes. There's no "decoupling." It's a stupid idea.

this is pretty close to the soup beans I grew up with - though add a ham hock or two at the beginning then pick it at the end and add the meat, go heavy on the onions, a carrot would be a nice addition, and who puts tumeric in soup beans I’ve never heard of such.

corn bread, just add some jalapeños, mmm. I have never cared for chow chow so don’t ask me about that :shrug:

finally, we can unwind the mystery of what is putting all these people in the hospital, since it isn't covid. once we figure out what it is the government will mount a capable, swift response, after all, something is killing thousands thousands a day and hospitalizing thousands more and we really need to get to the bottom of what it could be!

Also "decoupling" is to some degree an artifact of how we display COVID data. People who want to time shift and line up hospitalizations almost always scale the hospitalization graph to match the first peak in cases. That results in every subsequent wave appearing more "mild" because we were drastically under testing during the first wave, so the relative rate of hospitalizations to positive tests appears much higher.

There was a hypothesis way back then that it gave you gastro symptoms if ingested, and respiratory symptoms if inhaled. Did anyone ever test that?

Data note: January 3rd, 2022
The U.S. is reporting 1,045,968 new coronavirus cases, an increase of 121% from last week. Although this is easily the highest number of cases ever reported in one day, it will not be counted as a one-day record because it includes backlogs from the (holiday) weekend for dozens of states.

The running seven-day average for daily cases stands at 494,660, up from 412,680 on Sunday. Several states, including California and Georgia, have not yet reported their backlogs from the holiday weekend.

Meanwhile, the number of Americans hospitalized with COVID-19 has surpassed 100,000, the highest since January 2021. The tally saw a net increase of 6,034, which is the biggest jump in one day since July 2020.

What do people feel is the non-COVID answer to record levels of hospitalization everywhere? Attempted suicide from all our regressive lockdowns? Vaccine poisoning?

Honestly every crazy person I've personally talked to has a story about a guy who got hospitalized/killed in a car wreck and then counted as a COVID case, but again, there are only like 50k motor vehicle deaths total annually.

Yes, that's what I thought.. it's only "decoupled" if they have no relationship

it's quite a dilemma. the capitalist blood gods want to stop testing so much, but if they stop testing they can't say it's "decoupled" anymore!

so this "with vs of" covid is a perfect solution. soon we'll be able to handwave away 50% of the number and conveniently there's no data on "incidentals" for any past waves so nothing to compare it to. just a magic handwave and "don't worry these aren't the hospitalizations you're looking for"

There is no answer and they have not considered it because the conclusion has already been made and the evidence is being provided afterwards.

They say people are testing positive and getting hospitalized as a precaution. Why are the hospitals overwhelmed? It's all the nurses quitting because of vaccine mandates! All the statistics saying this is untrue? Fake news

up until now there's been no demand to report widely (in big headlines) on "total resourcing" because there wasn't a huge media campaign to blame incidentals, but i expect we'll see that change now

even the articles you see published about bed shortages are usually fairly anecdotal and not backed up by concrete data of utilization over time. one reason is that data doesn't graph as cleanly, since resourcing is flexible (we add more "staffed beds" number to a spreadsheet)
