I got the Covid

Problem is, doctors break rules. Administration runs the hospital, not the doctors, and if they instruct doctors to pump up the Covid death numbers for the cash, the Covid numbers become inaccurate.
IMO, the Covid death rates would be much more believable and accurate if there was no money paid for Covid deaths.

It's not just about the covid deaths. Medicare will pay for 21 days of isolation for a covid patient. Even when the patient is Asymptomatic. The rest of us are told we can go back to work after 10 days if we are Asymptomatic.

Extra money is paid for cleaning, and a bunch of other things related to the virus.

Again, the masks are to help prevent YOU from spreading droplets, not to protect you FROM droplets.

The CDC states "Wearing a mask protects the wearer and not just other people" Look it up

Payments are largely based on treatments provided or given, not cause of death (although not entirely):

Right. Even more reason that the Covid numbers are likely much higher than stated.
Again, Im not suggesting its not a real or deadly Virus. It is!
Im suggesting that health care is living by the old adage never let a good crisis go to waste
Its a shameful money grab and it leads to greater mistrust

If you have friends or family that work in nursing homes, they can pretty much verify that the numbers are skewed.

Doctors can diagnose by just using symptoms. If a few symptoms fall in line with covid, then it's covid. Doesnt matter if the patient then tests negative and you have steady negative test results for the patient and care givers right up to the time the patient was admitted to the hospital.

You are correct.

It kind of adds to the suspicious nature of the number of false negatives. I have 2 people close to me on the front lines. They tell me anyone who presents with Covid like symptoms and gets negative test is tested again and again, and as you stated, treated as if Covid.

this is from the CDC site ''Masks are a critical step to help prevent people from getting and spreading COVID-19.''

Yet he calls someone ''ignorant'' :laughing:

Can you say.. SHEEEEEEEP ?

That may well be skewed by the political inclinations of those doing the (supposed) "verifying".

Recently caught some reporting by a hospital official - in Houston I think it was - that roughly 50% of his staff there were disinclined to avail themselves of a vaccine when it becomes available ... due to political considerations apparently.

So it wouldn't be terribly surprising that some reports of "skewing" might themselves be skewed.

That statement can be read in multiple ways ...
