RIP, Hat. Man this one just hits hard. The guy deserves a statue around here. He was a truly good man - regardless of what the wrestling persona he wore around the interwebs might lead one to believe.

You are right. Many had no plan. They looked like tourists. Some saw opportunity for mischief. Sit in a seat, steal a sign. But some came to take names and kick ass. Whether that be the guys with zip ties and tactical gear. Or, in this case, these protestors turned rioting mob saw the...

It’s entirely possible that the cops on the outside didn’t know that Congressmen were holed up at the end of that hall. It seemed to me with the defensive positions that were being taken on the other side of that door and the warnings they were giving that they intended to make sure no one made...

While that makes sense on one level - I do wonder if that’s true for patients treated with monoclonal antibodies. His immune system might have never really gotten kicked into full gear. Have you seen anything on that?

I remember seeing famotidine being pulled out through the machine learning algorithms months ago. When all the patient files were scrubbed, those that were regularly taking famotodine were experiencing better outcomes. At least I’m 99% certain I remember reading that.

Hey guys. Everyone doing alright in here? Haven’t checked in for a while.

The point of the article must have been the number is down to 1 in 4 due to the other 3 just being happy to have a job.

This is not accurate. Nothing about the pace suggests this. I also think it’s much too late for pull forward deaths to make this true.

So, let me give you the my own facts you should use instead.

Using data from the NCHS/CDC mortality surveillance system, I get the following 2018*: 2,831,836 2019*: 2,845,796 In 2020, official reporting in the NCHS mortality surveillance system extends through September 19. I have no idea how you would say "through 9/24", when deaths are only officially...

Looks like we need a change to the thread title....

To my knowledge there is no additional payment for death. Only for the various types of treatment that a COVID patient might receive - these tiers are inflated for a COVID+ patient. For example, if in a ventilator, there is an additional reimbursement and it comes at a higher rate than a normal...

What additional money is offered due to the death? Why a motivation to call deaths COVID? I don't see that in the reimbursement tiers.

Hmm. I’m glad that hospitalizations are falling, but this doesn’t look right. CDC says peak hospitalizations for this flu season were closer to 6/100k. I wonder what data set he’s using to get this? To me this looks closer to the cumulative hospitalization rate at the time the peak occurred.
