The Department of Health and Human Services has declined to release statistics on hospital-acquired (nosocomial) COVID with respect to individual hospitals.  This action is justified by concerns over possible duplication of data but in all probability results from lobbying by the hospital industry to prevent embarrassment over data relating to specific health facilities. 

During January 2020, more than 3,000 patients each week were infected in medical facilities based on negative tests at the time of admission followed by a positive result at least ten days later confirming in-hospital infection.  During the four weeks ending June 19th, U.S. hospitals collectively reported a reduction to an average of 1,500 patients per week infected with COVID while hospitalized.

 According to Politico, disability-right advocates are demanding release of individual hospital data.  This will enable prospective patients with predisposing conditions including immunosuppression to make valued judgment decisions as to where to received treatment.
