    That’s impossible, we’ve all seen the load board screen shots that say otherwise.

    Well done sir.

    Our local news used to make a point of highlighting ppl who died "with Covid", listing their ages and indicating underlying medical conditions.

    They stopped doing it...

    There was a story awhile back locally how an old man died at our local hospital. It turns out, they tested him for Covid after he was DEAD... 4 times until they got a positive result and listed him as a Covid death.

    It pays to list someone as a Covid death...

    Sorry, I'm just jaded and very skeptical about this.

    I'm still in the camp that believes this strain is no more deadly than most severe flu strains.

    The numbers appear to show that. It's just that this strain has been so politicised and leveraged financially like nothing in medical history.

    So much so, it probably cost Trump another 4 year term.

    The biggest problem is that the rapid test detects only if the corona strain is present, but not the amount of virus that is present. Just about every human on the planet has some variation of the corona virus present in our system at any given time, including the strain of corona that causes the common cold. Vets have been treating livestock for a strain of covid for decades that only makes animals mildly sick if at all. The rapid test can detect covid in humans in very minute amounts, but it doesn't take into account if the viral load is high enough to make the host sick or to transmit it to other people.

    Medical facilities receive $13,500 from Medicare as part of the first stimulus deal when they treat a covid patient. So as you can see, declaring that just about everybody has covid can be very lucrative for these facilities. I watched a video last night of a coroner in Colorado who was upset that two men killed from gunshot wounds were listed by the state as dying from covid in order to up their death count as an excuse to keep people locked down. She says that coroners around the country have been making the same complaint but it's falling on deaf ears.

    Spoke to my step brother in law tonight. He lives in southern CA and works in a hospital. He said that he’s only getting 25 hrs per week because they are so slow. He had to get a part time job because of it. Covid covid covid!
