Despite continuing reports of record COVID-19 cases and hospital numbers, British Columbia data now shows that half the province’s COVID hospitalizations since Dec. 1 were not people admitted because of COVID, but people who incidentally tested positive for the virus after being admitted for other reasons.

“So, it’s not COVID that’s driving them into hospital,” provincial health officer Bonnie Henry said at a briefing on Tuesday.

Data released Tuesday by the B.C. Centre for Disease Control shows that during December and January, more than 40% of patients who tested positive for COVID-19 – including 60% of Omicron cases – came to hospital for other reasons than COVID, and had “no or mild respiratory symptoms or other symptoms of COVID-19.”

The data gives much-needed context to reports of record-breaking COVID numbers in B.C., including more than 1,000 hospitalizations reported this week. It also shows that from Dec. 1 onward, patients testing positive for Omicron grew to 16-to-one over the Delta variant.

  1. By her own admission; it is safe to say that 73% admitted to BC hospitals have had one or more shots.
    The only thing these shots, Trudeau gets paid every time that Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.
    Greed!

  2. Being that there are no tests for any variant of the non-COVID virus, just how is it that people are being tested? It they are testing positive it must be for the flu or a cold.
    Bonnie Henry is full of horse pucky! She needs to review her statisics again. Perhaps, she needs a refresher course for her medical license. Or, maybe she needs to update her information with all the regulatory boards.
    Sounds like she hasn’t a clue of what she is talking about and that she is totally out-of-date.
