Darcy: Barometer for Covid Shouldn’t Be Cases Anymore, it Should Be Hospitalizations

EXCERPT:

DARCY: "Right, the premise is that you don't end up in the hospital.  And we see that they work. I think news coverage almost needs to reflect that maybe cases, like you said, are not the best barometer for how we measure the pandemic anymore. It should maybe perhaps be on hospitalizations. Because if we’re telling people that hospitalizations is why you get the vaccine, then perhaps we should be measuring hospitalizations and putting more of an emphasis on the fact that high-vaccinated areas have low hospitalizations and low-vaccinated areas have high hospitalizations, versus just a case count which doesn’t really capture the picture quite as well in 2021."
