Covid, A Healthcare-Dependent Killer?

Up to Two Thirds of Serious Covid Infections are Caught in Hospital – Study

Can that be true?

Seems totally reasonable. 

Seems totally reasonable. Hospitals are mainly occupied by those at high risk of death from Covid, namely, elderly people who are also sick.

Hospitals are also the places where people on the outside are taken if they become seriously ill with Covid. So now you have virus carriers in close proximity with people most endangered by the virus.

Add to that the staff, which will include many 20- to 40-year-olds, i.e., the most socially active demographic that is mainly responsible for the spread of Covid outside of hospital.

Then, in hospital, you have many Covid-infected people, both patients and staff, which creates highly favorable conditions for the virus to infect and kill more of the highly vulnerable: i.e., elderly patients in hospital for treatment of conditions such as heart or respiratory diseases which greatly increase the risk of death from Covid.

Then, to get an even bigger bang for your buck, you move those hospital-infected Covid patients over the age of 65 to care homes, which creates a whole new opportunity for the disease to spread among the sick and very elderly, most of whom will go down like ninepins.

And the vaccine wont save them: as reported from British Columbia, even after vaccination of the majority of staff and patients, Covid outbreaks are occurring in care homes (and here). 

Covid, is thus essentially a health-care-facilitated killer.
