The United States is to resume mandatory reporting of “COVID hospitalizations” from November 1st.
According to government officials, hospitals in the US will soon have to disclose hospital admissions connected to COVID-19, reinstating a requirement that was removed earlier this year.
“Hospital data about COVID-19 was often cited as an alternative when many states stopped releasing COVID-related data, including case counts. But those reports became voluntary on May 1, with only 33% of hospitals choosing to participate.”
“Beginning November 1, hospitals will once again be required to report COVID-19 data, as well as information about influenza and RSV, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) at the U.S. Department of Health.”
A CMS spokesperson told BNO news that “The information required to report includes confirmed infections of respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19, influenza, and RSV, among hospitalized patients; hospital bed census and capacity; and limited patient demographic information, including age.”
Weren’t we told that the “safe and effective” are effective against hospitalizations? What could go wrong after the rollout of the unsafe and ineffective?
