English/Español: Rubio Calls Out Press as Biden Administration Changes COVID Hospitalization Numbers
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement after reports that the Biden Administration is considering changes to how COVID-19 hospitalizations are counted. At issue is whether an individual is admitted due to COVID-19 or whether they go to the hospital for unrelated reasons but happen to test positive for COVID-19 once they are admitted.
“During the omicron surge, the media was desperate to paint a picture of chaos across the country,” Rubio said. “As I said at the time, it was pure nonsense because the hospitalization numbers were often distorted. That didn’t stop so-called journalists, Twitter experts, and partisans from going on the attack. It was shameful, and their silence now — when President Biden is making the distinction — reveals just how politicized COVID has become. It is time for the country to get back to normal, just like we have been in Florida for well over a year.”
Washington, D.C. — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió un comunicado después de informes que la Administración Biden está considerando cambios en la forma en cómo se contabilizan las hospitalizaciones por COVID-19. El tema en cuestión es sobre si una persona es admitida debido al COVID-19 o si va al hospital por razones no relacionadas pero termina dando positivo al virus una vez haya ingresado.
“Durante la ola del Omicron, los medios estaban desesperados por pintar una imagen de caos en todo el país”, Rubio dijo. “Como dije en ese momento, era pura tontería porque los números de hospitalización a menudo se distorsionaban. Eso no impidió que los llamados periodistas y expertos en Twitter atacaran. Fue vergonzoso, y su silencio ahora, cuando el presidente Biden está haciendo la distinción, revela cuán politizado se ha vuelto el COVID. Es hora que el país vuelva a la normalidad, tal como lo hemos estado en la Florida durante más de un año”.
