First, this is a single anecdotal tweet, but also ED visits are not even remotely the same as hospital admissions. Tons of people go to the ED because they're concerned about their symptoms but are evaluated and sent home because they don't need inpatient care

I'm a hospital worker in Ohio. I've had plenty of positive tests. I've not admitted anyone for COVID in ~3 years.

It's just not deadly anymore.
