Some U.S. states are changing the definition of a COVID patient, which is causing a large drop in the number of patients. One of those states is New Hampshire, where the health department is counting only 4% of COVID patients 1/3
Under this new definition, a COVID patient is only counted if they're being treated with remdesivir or dexamethasone, which is often used to treat moderate to severe illness 2/3
As a result, New Hampshire is reporting only 4 COVID patients. But the Hospital Association puts the number much higher: 36, or 87 if you include patients who are no longer positive but are still being treated for COVID-related illness 3/3

This is deranged.
So, Long Covid won't be acknowledged?
I mean, heck if you weren't Rem or Dex then it wasn't covid and if wasn't covid how could you possibly have long covid .
See what they are doing there.
