....
Is it true that Hospitals get paid more to treat people for COVID? Yes.
Is it true that Hospitals get paid more for listing a death as COVID? No.
Are hospitals telling everyone they have COVID and making a shit ton of money from it? I mean, probably not. ....
I can check with people I know who every day handle death certificates and forms in hospitals, but just knowing what kind of people they are, it's impossible there is a bunch of lying and misrepresentation going on.
But this is a huge enough issue that I'm sure anybody that went poking through the deaths looking for oddities could find them among the COVID-related deaths. Then again that's really always been true, if you went poking through that stuff you could find oddities.
If anything Covid deaths get undercounted.
When all this is over, we can just see if the general death rate went up. How many extra people died and whether that's a significant figure. About a Million extra deaths is far from insignificant especially considering only about 56 Million people die each year.
For example we might have anticipated 56.5 Million deaths but we see 58 instead.
I've worked with people who have had covid, and who have family members with covid right the fuck now. It's not a conspiracy and it's not a scam.
Since the total death counts are barely any larger than any other year, in order for there to be high Covid deaths, that means that all kinds of other deaths must have dropped down.
So, if we have lots more Covid deaths then we have
- less flu deaths
- less heart disease deaths
- less cancer deaths
- less diabetes deaths
- less car crash deaths
- less suicides
- less you-name-it deaths
because total deaths are about the same, right?
But suicide deaths are up. Are the rest of them down that much?
