How many are really Corona related?
Hospitals are getting more for Covid.
As part of a federal stimulus bill, Medicare is paying hospitals 20% more than standard rates for COVID-19 patients.
I know some in the US think the health sector is trying to make money, it beggars belief though to continue this, what hospitals and where are they asking for or wanting more corona cases ?
But looking past this, you can look at places that do not have a health sector that just sees $$$ (which may not even be true), and the data is similar, if anything, all the numbers are under reported, not over, and in the case of the US, when they say 1 million cases, you better believe it is a magnitude higher, not an over inflated number, to what, make money from tests ?
not really worth debating all that really, it really should be about measures and getting on with things but in a different way.
If the masses were as socially responsible as they seem to think they are, all virus numbers would be a lot lower and better for society.
it is easy for some of us, most will have space and plenty to do, it is easy for me to keep this going, we do not dine out usually, nor sit in coffee shops, nor gather where there are crowds, but restrictions on travel and seeing family etc is tough, anyways, the last part should be ok with some basic personal steps.
The west should be able to cope now as we bought enough time from where I sit.....this is/was no war, not for the masses....
