These people went to the hospital and were admitted for X. X being any number of medical conditions requiring hospitalization. You can be admitted for the reason “person is sick”, you need some diagnosis or complaint, however vague
They later tested positive for Covid.
How is that misinformation?
If people come to the hospital with complaints of fever or breathing difficulties, they can do a covid test prior to admission to determine if they are positive.
I’d say it’s misinformation to claim those people were hospitalized because of covid, which is what the original reporting suggested.
No they don't. Admission is done immediately. No doctor is going to wait for a test result before admitting a patient suffering respiratory problems.
Are you really that shocked that people are being hospitalized for reasons other than Covid? I mean, do you think people who have Covid and another problem just don’t go to the hospital?
It's a clear attempt at misinformation and should not be tolerated.
