I understand this is anecdotal but I think it's safe to say the CDC numbers for hospital admissions are bullshit. COVID "cases" are definitely up here, we have been running more and more each day after it was almost non existent for months. I ask every COVID patient I have if they have been vaccinated and so far my tally is 80% are fully vaccinated. I spoke with some nurses at a local hospital working on the COVID floor, they say it's the same up there, "the vast majority that are admitted have been vaccinated." Every one I have treated is mildly sick with flu-like symptoms and don't even need an ambulance, much less a hospital. It's a clown world we are living in [/quote] Why are people with mild flu like symptoms being treated by a paramedic and admitted to the hospital? Are they showing up at the ER or calling an ambulance? I'm not doubting your experience but it seems odd a paramedic would be treating people with mild symptoms. [/quote] When I say "treat," I mean I put them on a nasal cannula and drive them to the hospital. People call an ambulance all day long for things that a PCP could easily handle - if they had one. If you have Medicaid, you aren't paying anything. If you have good insurance with many health problems, you aren't paying since nearly all meet their deductible. Why would they not call if they felt like they would skip triage and the ED waiting room?

You can show up to the ER and get tested but if you aren't close to bed ridden then they are sending you home. No one is letting these people take up beds, they just aren't. We have dumb people calling and asking if they cna just chill here while they have it and we just laugh so hard. [/quote] Correct, most are getting sent home but I'll give you a recent example. 41yo female, goes to the ED a week and a half ago and diagnosed with COVID. 2 days ago she goes back and is diagnosed with pneumonia. Today, she calls again with respiratory distress, 88% sp02 on room air (fixed with a nasal cannula) and she gets admitted. She called for an ambulance each time. RIGHT NOW AT WORK, a call drops and the call notes say she "thinks she has COVID" [/quote]
