That's good. With Covid, lack of breathing is one of the real danger signs.

I’m sure I’ll be ok. It’s been 9 days since initial exposure. Kids show pretty much zero symptoms. Girlfriend claims to not be able to smell or taste but she ate a couple Reese cups last night so she might be exaggerating a little.

Does anyone know the basis of Trump's claim that covid death count is exaggerated for profit?

Don’t hospitals receive more funding based on their number of cases? Did the person in hospice that tested positive for COVID actually die from that or their stage 4 pancreatic cancer?

This maybe?

The initial comment was made by Minnesota State Sen. Scott Jensen, a family physician, who spoke with Fox News host Laura Ingraham on April 8 about the idea that the number of COVID-19 deaths may be inflated. Jensen was responding to National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, who — while answering a reporter’s question about that theory — said “you will always have conspiracy theories when you have very challenging public health crises. They are nothing but distractions.”


Jensen, April 8: I would remind him that anytime health care intersects with dollars it gets awkward. Right now Medicare has determined that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital, you’ll get paid $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator, you get $39,000, three times as much. Nobody can tell me after 35 years in the world of medicine that sometimes those kinds of things impact on what we do.​

The scenario you've described here is how "covid" deaths and cases have been reported here.

Say what you want about complex conspiracy theories and control, I think the perpetuation of this ******** is all about $$$.

Don’t forget the funding that agencies or groups will receive for studies , testing and projects related to Covid and viruses .. CDC, FDA, the WHO , the Universities, big Pharma . There’s no way this or any “ pandemic “ isn’t a money maker for these people and more .

It’s time to shut everything back down with today setting a world record of new cases at over 100,000. It’s time to do the following:

1. Emergency $2,000 UBI per month for the duration of the crisis.
2. Emergency business relief for all small/medium businesses. One way of doing this could be to nationalize wages like Germany.
3. Finally pass universal healthcare so no one is stuck with an outrageous medical bill due to the crisis.
4. Implement a nationwide mask mandate with criminal penalties for failing to follow it.

Outstanding ideas. I can see nothing wrong with any of that.

Clearly Federalism is not working with red states leading the charge in covid spikes. These small town bumpkins who think the virus does not exist must be forced to follow guidelines and not given any actual power

Heck yeah. Small town bumpkins need to be put in their place, too damn dumb to know what’s good for them like the educated city people.

The virus is 100x more dangerous than total government control. Once the virus is eradicated the government will step back and give up its new found powers. Trust them, they know what’s best.

Just think past the next 2sec of your life and ask yourself this question:

Are you comfortable giving the federal govt that kind of power no matter who is in charge?

Trump is such a jerk. Now he's blaming doctors for coronavirus - saying doctors are lying.

What a jerk. I honestly can't believe anyone here is dumb enough to vote for this malignant punk.

"With three days to go in a campaign that's been dominated by the pandemic, President Donald Trump made the baseless and politically perilous claim that American doctors are profiting from Covid-19 deaths during a visit to the critical electoral region of the Midwest, where former Vice President Biden offered a contrasting message about unity and promised a more forceful response to defeat the virus.
Trump's appalling attack on doctors came on a day when the US marked a new global record for daily coronavirus cases and 17 states were seeing record hospitalizations. Instead of addressing those challenges, the President tried to explain the mounting US case count by making the false claim in Michigan that US doctors are inflating coronavirus case numbers because they "get more money if someone dies from Covid."

"Our doctors are very smart people. So what they do is they say, 'I'm sorry but everybody dies of Covid,' "


And the blistering response from the President of the American Medical Association:

"The suggestion that doctors -- in the midst of a public health crisis -- are overcounting COVID-19 patients or lying to line their pockets is a malicious, outrageous, and completely misguided charge," Dr. Susan Bailey, president of the American Medical Association, said in a written statement.

"Throughout this pandemic, physicians, nurses, and frontline health care workers have risked their health, their safety and their lives to treat their patients and defeat a deadly virus," Bailey added.

People do not deny the virus exists they just don’t believe a virus with a 99% plus survival rate should bankrupt them or keep them from living their lives normally.
