They were told early on that no matter what a person dies from it would be recorded as Covid. The hospital would get 17k for a covid death and 5k for all other. One more example ....Friends of our went to get the covid test and signed the papers to get it done. After waiting for a long time decided to come back the next day. They left and was going to return the next day, but before they left the next day they got a call and was informed the test they took the previous day was positive. (no test was taken the previous day) I believe that we should respect the current flu, but I also believe we are being lead down a path of wrong info.
I pay no attention at all to the numbers of reported cases or deaths that are spewed all over news sources. I do, however, pay very close attention to the news stories of hospitals being at or very near capacity. I pay attention to news stories, with video proof, of refrigerated trailers for dead bodies. I pay attention to news stories with video proof that cities are setting up temporary hospital beds in parking lots. I pay attention when ICU beds are either at capacity or near capacity. I pay attention to news stories that report that health care workers are extremely stressed and are exhausted. I don't pay attention to numbers of cases or deaths but what I can actually see is happening in communities. This is our America? That is frightening.
