Covid – Misleading numbers

Oh, and this update.

There are 240 in our hospitals, with 54 of those in the ICU.

This in 106 acute care hospitals with 8,515 acute care beds, with 272 ICU beds (normally) with as many as 1,081 ICU beds made available if necessary.

Our health “experts” added this, when talking about our health care people:

Friday that 1,205 workers have tested positive for COVID-19 out of 124,055 total employees…

That means about one per cent of the entire workforce has had the virus.

4 of those required hospitalization, but none in the ICU.

None of these staff were admitted to ICU and all four have since been discharged from hospital and have recovered

… as of Friday, there were 437 active cases among health-care workers. That includes anyone who self-reports as a health-care worker when they’re being tested … such as long-term care or pharmacy workers.

And the medical/health-care workers are calling for a “circuit-breaker” style lockdown to happen, which the lead “expert” has been stating to the media.

From my previous reply:

This in 106 acute care hospitals with 8,515 acute care beds, with 272 ICU beds (normally) with as many as 1,081 ICU beds made available if necessary.

And now we get being reported, as of this morning:

The active case count in the province now sits at 10,382. Of those, 284 ### are in hospital, 61 of whom are in ICU.

The number of ### in ICU has more than quadrupled in the past month, with just 15 admissions this time in October. ### currently has 70 ICU beds set aside for COVID-19 patients , meaning just 13 per cent remain available.

Wait a minute!

With 272 ICU beads normally available, with ability to create more than 700 more, they are calling only 13 percent left a reason to force a new lockdown.

Double speak and misleading the public.

And if people do not keep up on what they say, they will get away with doing all sorts of things.

Last week, the news up here reported that covid has now killed more than those of the Spanish Influenza of 1918.

But a google search says a different story.

4,000 died of Spanish Flu where I live, and a total of 50,000 country wide.

While our Chief medical officer said today 1,000 people here has died from Covid, and 15,100 country wide.

And worldwide:

40,000,000 died from the Spanish flu (1918)

1,770,000 died from Covid (2020).

What a bunch of lying media!

And the CCP will never admit to the actual death rate.

Then you have the theories that Covid numbers are inflated… (see other threads for that discussion).
