RALEIGH – Last week, WRAL accused state rep Perrin Jones (R-Pitt) and Republican lawmakers of perpetuating “social media rumors” and “conspiracy theories” about COVID-19 data.
In an article dated August 11, Jones, an anesthesiologist at Vidant Health in Greenville, stated that several of his patients who tested positive for COVID-19 had first gone to the hospital for a separate explanation from COVID-19. North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services secretary Mandy Cohen responded to Jones that this situation only occurs among “less than 2%” of hospitalized patients statewide.
Cohen’s contradicts previous reports in the North State Journal that adult patients with COVID-19 occupied only 18.7% of extensive care beds at the time NCDHHS began publishing more detailed hospitalization knowledge. However, Cooper’s management refuses to provide knowledge that would help Cohen’s claims that ACCIDENTAL COVID cases are “weak.”
At noon on August 22, Vidant Health recorded 75 HOSPITALizations related to COVID-19. But that doesn’t necessarily mean COVID-19 is the initial explanation for why those hospital visits, Jones told NSJ. Three or four of his own patients, as he told Cohen last week, were diagnosed with COVID-19 by chance.
Jones added that he supported the efforts of studies on COVID-19 remedies and that interjective narratives “confused the clinical process.”
“I think it would be wise for other people in general a little rhetoric so that we can do this less from a position of worry and panic and more from a position of explanation why and logic,” Jones told NSJ.
Unlike Jones, Cohen has worked in a clinical setting since 2012, where he served as an “internist.”
WRAL also called State Representative Hugh Blackwell (R-Burke) a COVID-19 conspiracy theorist, after claiming that he believed some recent hospital deaths had been falsely reported as COVID-19 deaths. While it would be difficult to collect statistical evidence on the veracity of this statement, there are some anecdotes.
Last month, for example, a man in Florida was counted as a death by COVID-19 after dying in a motorcycle accident. “Arguably it was COVID-19 that caused the collapse,” Dr. Raúl Pino, Orange County health official, told FOX 35. The branch later stated that it had been de-wasted from the COVID call. -19 death count.
When Blackwell asked if hospitals were receiving monetary bonuses for deaths due to COVID-19, Cohen said no.
“Surely there is no bonus for someone to have deaths from COVID,” he told lawmakers. “It’s an abuse of absolute language. It’s not true. And secondly, the deaths were decided through doctors, clinicians. That’s how they inform us.”
Congressman Dr. Greg Murphy (R-03), who voted for the CARES Act and spent most of his career in clinical and administrative care positions, agreed that hospitals “do benefit” from COVID’s patient care.
Medicare will pay about $24,000 for COVID patients based on a service fee, Murphy said.
“Even with CARES, 20% of additional hospitals do not cover the additional prices associated with COVID patient care,” he said. “It should be noted that Medicare will pay hospitals on the basis of a Diagnostic Group (DRG), which is a standardized payment that encourages charge control.”
Murphy added that North Carolina hospitals lost more than $2 billion in profits through July and spent $1 billion more on materials and additional staff. The CARES Act also created a $100 billion fund, which is partially used to fund fitness service providers to treat patients without COVID insurance. The fund accounts for 30% of the prices that hospitals have recently endured, Murphy said.
