    Link proof of any other than some guy saying it's true. It just smells like made up BS to me. I hear it all the ####ing time but haven't seen any evidence of it.

    Really, Dr. Birx saying they're counting those as dying WITH Corona as a Corona death wasn't enough for you? If an old guy fall down the stairs and breaks a hip and dies do you say he died of a broken hip?

    Depends on if he would have been fine without it and died as a direct consequence of covid. You can survive a broken hip. Again. Link proof or I'll keep calling bull.

    To clarify, there are various forms of testing. My GF does testing for the state. She inserts a swab up to where your nose meets your throat (which is not a pleasant experience), and then the swab is sealed in a test tube and sent to a lab, and they get the results back in currently 5-7 business days. That is a 70% accuracy test. The rapid test which is done gets results back in 3 days with a 50% accuracy. Due to this having to be done in various locales and conditions, the testing is not always ideal. She does this with people sitting in a car driving through a test center. They never leave the car. It's not a perfect world, but they do around 300 people a day.

    There was a doctor in California that made the claims on YouTube, and was blocked for it. With a fast search I could not find his name. But there are others as well. A search of “covid financial incentives” will turn up a lot. The linked article below has some numbers.

    Fact check: Medicare pays hospitals more money for COVID-19 patients

    That's another thing I question, if this is so easily spread with sneezes why do they have to swab that far back to get a test sample?

    It's called "Viral Shedding", where the virus multiplies and breaks down. It is basically where the breeding ground would be and helps the test be more accurate.
