Wait a minute - are you saying that hospital utilization data is low because ppl aren't being tested? We admit based on clinical presentation. Not on whether or not you are known positive. If you are experiencing respiratory distress you are admitted to hospital. This no matter what the cause and in the absence of anything like a pandemic. Incidentally, we can determine whether or not you are COVID positive w/o a swab. Bilateral, diffuse glass opacities on CXR, high serum ferritin, high inflammatory markers, low oxygenation not congruent with work of breathing. No other established causes of acute respiratory distress has anything like this clinical picture. The data we report is "COVID +ve" and "COVID pending" but it's not like we are uncertain about the pending side.
