Many people hospitalized in the Omicron surge are there for other reasons and have only mild COVID-19

    Some patients counted in COVID hospitalization stats are there for other reasons.
    These "incidental" cases were found to be prominent in England and South Africa.
    Experts including Dr. Anthony Fauci have also pointed to the phenomenon in the US.

A significant proportion of people hospitalized with COVID-19 in recent weeks were admitted for other reasons, according to health officials and government data.

The exact scale of the phenomenon in the US is not recorded in federal statistics, but has been noted anecdotally.

And Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser to the White House, described the phenomenon, specifically in children, in a Wednesday night interview with MSNBC.

Since all hospital admissions are tested for COVID-19, Fauci said, many are "hospitalized with COVID, as opposed to because of COVID." The real reason for hospitalization might be "a broken leg, or appendicitis, or something like that," he continued.

Intuitive and on the mark!
Also, since this is flu season is it likely/unlikely that
at least a number of these cases are Flu not COVID?

Unless you think they are faking the results of PCR tests conducted on admission to hospital, the cases discussed in this article -- those identified in people admitted to hospital -- are COVID.  They are also proof that the hospitalization numbers are being overstated, since the person admitted to hospital for an injury or unrelated illness who comes up with a positive COVID test is being treated as if they were hospitalized for COVID in the official statistics, even if they have only the sniffles or a headache, or even no COVID symptoms at all.

I don't think they are faking the results, but the PCR tests have been notorious for false positives from the beginning. Too many recombinant cycles and most anything can throw a positive, and the inventor of the tests has criticized them.

Anything to elevate the number of cases and keep the fear factor going.

If these people went to the hospital for some illness or condition other than Covid, then the daily news reports about hospitals being slammed and overwhelmed by Covid patients are absolute BS. But we already knew that.

If only people would stop and hear what's actually being said, they'd understand the fear porn narrative is unraveling.

A century ago, the health devastation created by the Great War infected much of the world w/Spanish Influenza,
killing millions more.
In the USA, those in charge of combatting/ending that plague were our Medical and Military professionals,
who did a masterful job by bringing closure within some 20 months of outbreak.
Presently, the performance results of our political assholery "managing" this COVID fandango are obvious except
to the deaf, dumb and blind.
Expect more of the same indefinitely!!!

Precisely. The real epidemic has been one of gibbering fear, utilized to get people to demand their rights be taken away, bordering on mass hysteria.

I think there is a very real possibility that there are nosocomical infections involved.

Many Health Care systems demanded their employees be vaxxed, and fully vaxxed people are capable of being infected and infecting others with few symptoms, themselves.

At least unvaxxed medical care providers would generally be aware they were sick.

Fifty Million dead from the Spanish Flu, worldwide, a tragedy in three waves.

The Plagues of history, exist in realms unknown to Man, producing fear and trembling when they emerge.
Until cures/treatments are found, Man's traditional protector had been to embrace his spiritual sensibilities,
now virtually non-existent in modern times engulfed in materialism.
So who steps up as Mankind's Savior???
Why our politicians of course!!!
Are we Blessed or what???
