On Friday, Fox News<\/a> posted an article about hospitalizations for Covid in New York State. It turns out that the numbers being reported include people admitted to the hospital for a problem unrelated to Covid who test positive for Covid.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

New York<\/strong><\/a> Gov. Kathy Hochul released data Friday breaking down COVID-19 hospitalizations by those who were admitted due to the virus<\/a> and those who were admitted for other reasons but were found to have the illness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Included in the data was a chart showing “how many hospitalized individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 were admitted for COVID-19\/COVID-19 complications and how many were admitted for non-COVID-19 conditions.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a screenshot of the chart:<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Hochul’s administration recently faced backlash after revealing that it will prioritize non-White people<\/a> in the distribution of COVID-19 treatments in short supply.<\/strong><\/p>\n

New York\u2019s Department of Health released a document detailing its plan to distribute the treatments, such as monoclonal antibody treatment and antiviral pills.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The plan includes a section on eligibility for the scarce antiviral pills that people must meet to receive the treatment, including a line stating a person needs to have “a medical condition or other factors that increase their risk for severe illness.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the breakdown of the vaccinated and unvaccinated in New York City (article here)<\/a>:<\/p>\n

As of December 13, 2021, CDC reported that race\/ethnicity was known for 70% of people who had received at least one dose of the vaccine. Among this group, nearly two thirds were White (58%), 10% were Black, 19% were Hispanic, 6% were Asian, 1% were American Indian or Alaska Native (AIAN), and <1% were Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (NHOPI), while 6% reported multiple or other race. White people make up a smaller share of people who have received at least one dose (58%) and people who have recently received a vaccination (50%) compared to their share of the total population (61%). The same pattern is observed among Black people, who make up 10% of people who have received at least one dose and 11% of those recently vaccinated, compared to 12% of the population. In contrast, Hispanic people make up a larger share of vaccinated people (19%) and people who recently received a vaccination (23%) compared to their share of the total population (17%). The share of vaccinated people who are Asian is proportionate to their share of the total population (both 6%), while they make up a higher share (9%) of people initiating vaccination in the last 14 days.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s interesting to me that New York State is giving some minorities priority in Covid treatment when some minorities seem to be the most reluctant to get vaccinated. I guess some minorities are not included in the move to deny medical treatment to the unvaccinated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
