A newly released study has found that nearly half of those hospitalized for COVID-19 in 2021 had been admitted for another reason entirely, or were mild or asymptomatic for the respiratory virus.
Conducted by a team of researchers from Harvard Medical School, Tufts Medical Center, and the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System, the analysis examined electronic records for nearly 50,000 COVID hospital admissions at more than 100 VA hospitals across the country.we should refine the definition of hospitalizationwith rather than from COVID
Report from ND. As of Monday, no icu or inpatient beds available in Bismarck-Mandan area (pop approx 100,000). While in Fargo-Moorhead-W.Fargo area 7 icu and 9 inpatient beds. available (pop approx 250,000). Entire state of ND (pop 770,000) has 15 icu beds still available.
Just wondering, what would you do if the icu beds and inpatient beds are all taken up and you just got into a major car accident which required surgery?

Here in California the state government moves patients from counties with 100% ICU occupancy to those counties with available ICU beds. The big problem comes in just over 2 weeks the governor's mandate that ALL healthcare workers be vaccinated. Many nurses are refusing.

Victims of major accidents usually end up in a trauma center equipped for presurgery emergency treatment of major injuries, surgery rooms, post-op recovery and post surgical care. Their beds are not used for anything else.
Biden is fucking the pooch on this one. Both the WHO and FDA are saying that we don't need booster shots. Biden is saying that we do. This is the same type of mixed messaging that we got from Fauci. All of this has contributed to distrust of the vaccine.

DATA supports 3rd Shot for at risk and older adults
I am sure you'll push another old lady out the way to get your 3rd Shot.
Pfizer has already been approved. 8 months after your last shot.

FDA OKs third dose for Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines
By GlobalData Healthcare

Third doses of Covid-19 vaccines will aid public health and require more contract manufacturing.
The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have announced a plan to offer the US general public a third shot of either Pfizer/BioNTech’s or Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccines from 20 September. The switch from previous guidance comes after a rise in the highly transmissible Delta variant. The US is already administering a third dose to immunocompromised people, with Israel also rolling out a third dose. Many European countries plan to offer a third dose to vulnerable groups.
These extra doses will bring more highly specialised work making these novel molecules to contract manufacturing organisations (CMOs) (see BIO 2021: mRNA Vaccine Booster Shots for Covid-19 and Increasing Uptake Will Offer CMOs Lucrative Opportunities, B/POR, July 2021), as well as putting pressure on the world’s supply chains. Other developments could push volumes even higher. Companies are trialling vaccinations in children, and it is also probable that one or more vaccines or therapies currently in clinical development will be approved (see the forthcoming GlobalData report Covid-19: Contract Pharmaceutical Development and Manufacturing Relationships (Q3 2021)). If one or more of these candidates is found to be safe and efficacious, we can expect a flurry of contract manufacturing agreements.
Under the FDA’s plan, third shots of the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccines will be given eight months after the second dose. The agency says it is also likely that people who received the one-shot Johnson and Johnson (New Brunswick, New Jersey) vaccine will need a second shot. It is possible that these extra doses will not be the last as if future data support a regular, seasonal immunisation program in response to the Delta or future variants, this would further increase manufacturing demand. But the rate of manufacturing and distribution is limited. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has called for a moratorium on ‘boosters’ until at least the end of September, so that at least 10% of the population of low-income countries can receive a first dose.
