Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

this Nevada doc had a good reply to trump who scoffed at him in a tweet, and those who think the pandemic is a hoax....


“The physician wishes those who still want to believe the pandemic is a hoax never have to experience what he has witnessed in the past weeks at the site.
“I hope that you do not get sick,” Keeperman said. “But if you do, our team will be ready to take care of you. And once you’re here lying in one of these beds, you will realize how real it is.”

 

A new high just cracked 2805 with still more time tonight

 

Holy hell.

Hope he gets better soon. Keep us posted. We are with you and your family.

 

Amazingly, the real world stats are interspersed with people downplaying the virus.

 

1) Where are you getting this? 2) You realize that hospitals make money from treating drug ODs as well, right? How do you know hospitals aren't selling crack around the corner, cuz, you know, they can make money from it? 3) If hospitals make more money from elective procedures, which they do, wouldn't it make more sense for them to downplay COVID numbers so they can get back to doing what's more profitable sooner?

 

1.) Q drops, duh
2.) Don't give Q more material

 

He is pulling it directly out of his ass.

 

Are we noticing a trend? So much winning, all the best people.

 

I read that as IQ drops which is actually fairly descriptive.

 

I posted the link. The rest sounds like you are making excuses for hospitals. Hospitals can go back to elective surgery when they want. Maybe they realize the Covid money is “easy” money and will milk it until it runs dry. $98 billion and counting to the healthcare industry so far in CARES money.

 

Coronabros gonna Coronabro.

 

U.S. tops 'unfathomable' milestone of 100,000 Covid hospitalizations: 'We're all on edge'

US reports 3,100 COVID-19 deaths in one day, surpassing previous record by 20 percent

 

Just another 100,000 co conspirators.

They're probably getting a kickback of part of that 50 large. Hospitals can afford it since they're swimming in cash.

 

Just saw the thing about Trump claiming the parking garage ICU in Nevada was fake.... I really can’t believe what is happening in America right now and why Republicans won’t take a stand against it.

 

Look at some of his biggest sycophants on this board and the stuff they make up or overlook. And I am guessing these are mostly college educated people. Baffles me.

 

Do you even listen to yourself? A business would choose to lose money because whatever revenue they do earn is "easy"? Why don't they just close shop? Sure there's no revenue, but it doesn't get any easier than that!

Also, which link are you referring to, this one? Did you even read it? Or check its sources?

Do hospitals get more funding by marking deaths COVID-19 related? | abc10.com

I have a few questions.

1) Where are you getting $98 billion from?
2) The article states $50k reimbursement per patient in 63 California hospitals, but the source it links to does not state this. So where are you getting your confirmation?
3) Do you know how much it costs to take care of COVID patients in the hospital? You can't find out if hospitals are making money from COVID patients unless you know the cost, right?
