That was my question; why not hospitalizations? So how do they know when someone is a "case?" They won't even test you unless you have symptoms.

That was my question; why not hospitalizations? So how do they know when someone is a "case?" They won't even test you unless you have symptoms.
How is it even remotely possible that the US number of cases exceeds China's by FOUR times and we haven't peaked yet?
How is it even remotely possible that the US number of deaths exceed China's by THREE times and we haven't peaked yet?
Why is it that we NEVER see the number of Americans who actually have been hospitalized instead of "cases?"
How do they even count the number of "cases" when they will not allow you to be tested without symptoms? Did 304,826 Americans get tested for the virus and show positive?
Still can't get ONE leftist to take the bet......you would think with all their confidence Trump is done, they would be more than willing to.
Perhaps they know that they only have empty rhetoric and their claims are complete bullshit.

Testing is done by hospitals and clinics, so how would the government define 'hospitalization'? The symptoms are much like any infection. The difficulty with breathing develops later.

Quite possibly. Showing positive on the test does not necessarily mean you will require hospitalization. Your symptoms (that caused them to conduct the test) might be something else, or if it is Covid-19, might result in a normal recovery. Another number you don't see is the number recovered.
According to the CDC, the infection rate IS starting to go down. The death rate should soon follow. The data from the same source also is still showing no more than 0.0275% infection rate. Predictably, infections counts are higher where there are more people, such as in or near cities, but in general the same infection rate is seen.
Obviously.
When you get ADMITTED to the hospital to be treated for the virus. That's how you would define it.
Who is saying it did?
Thank you for the obvious; when you have time, discuss my questions.

Fine, but what about the false positives? What about those that don't need to be admitted? They are still counted by the CDC.

The questions really cannot be answered, since we don't have China data that's reliable.
Bingo!
I am only saying that if you are hospitalized as a result of having this virus, the data should be made available. As well as, those who recovered. Why don't they publish that data is the question.
That is PART of the problem. The other half is where are we getting OUR data and how are these cases being counted.
Good questions.
Not every c19 goes to the hospital. I doubt if even most do.
Only if you go bad or were coming out of a nursing home and in bad health to begin with.
Indeed. The data that officialdom is basing their decisions on is highly suspect.
