If there is one positive take away from ALL of this, hopefully, we can get policies for reporting standardized so god-forbid the next pandemic can be handled expediently and accurately. This real-world scenario has shown incompetency and inconsistency from all forms of government and policymakers across the world. When this is over hopefully everyone from the city level to the global level can find some sort of middle ground for reporting so we have true apples-apples comparisons.
This is a very liberal way of reporting the information. It is sad, since all these #s tend to do is fear monger. That hospitalization is most likely overstated, in terms of how many went there JUST for COVID reasons.
