* On Friday, the U.S. surpassed 700,000 coronavirus deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University
* That figure is more than the number of Americans who died during World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War combined
* The U.S. accounts for 14.8% of the 4.7 million worldwide deaths from COVID-19 , but just 5% of the global population
* It comes as cases decline in the U.S. to the lowest levels seen since early August and deaths are expected to do the same soon
The United States hit a grim milestone and surpassed 700,000 coronavirus deaths on Friday, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
That figure is more than the number of Americans who died during World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War combined.
To put the figure into context, it is about equivalent to the populations of Nashville, Tennessee or Washington, DC, and just a bit smaller than the population of Denver, Colorado.

WNU Editor: There is some hope .... Merck says its new Covid pill reduces the risk of hospitalization, death by half for some patients (CNBC).
Update: This is not promising .... Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine antibodies gone by 7 months for many (Reuters).
I have heard hospitals were financially compensated by the Fed for each COVID-19 case. If that’s true, hospitals had an incentive to inflate COVID-19 admissions and deaths.
ReplyDeleteAgain, if that’s the case, the death toll is dubious on the high side.
i have heard...someone said...a kid i overheard noted...blah blah blah
ReplyDelete8:22 (Fred L)
ReplyDeleteIt is true.
It is true that a section of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) calls for higher compensation from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for the care of patients with a primary or secondary diagnosis of COVID-19. The measure is found in Section 3710 and the increase is 20%.
Fred is blah blah blah.
Fred's brain is blah blah blah.
Hospitals are paid more for Medicare patients confirmed or presumed to have coronavirus
ReplyDelete"If a Medicare patient is diagnosed with – or even presumed to have contracted -- coronavirus, hospitals across the United States are given more money from the federal government to treat that patient, economic assessments show. That amount can as much as triple if the patient requires a ventilator, making some wonder whether there is a financial impetus to overstate coronavirus numbers"
If you are already in ICU there is more money to intubate you.
Intubation is a dangerous procedure. If left in long enough, your body's mucus can cement the tube in. There are other problems.
Following tracheal intubation, mucus flow is reversed in the semirecumbent position: possible role in the pathogenesis of ventilator-associated pneumonia
1. there may well be more compensation for virus patients.
ReplyDelete2. to assert or even assume that that means hospitals cheat and fake causes in order to get more money from the govt is a charge that should not be made unless one can show evidence on where this takes place, how widespread it takes place and how often it takes place. In short: provide evidence and the govt will or should investigate and rectify those charges as they do with faked medicate changes made not by hospitals but by some doctors.
3. now call names if you must in order to show your juvenile mind, but to make a major charge with no substantiation is unethical
I read somewhere the other day that the "True" death toll is about 50-100k. Most of the 700k deaths died with Coof not of it, something else killed them, cancer, Heart Issues, accidents..etcx. and believe it.
ReplyDelete1. " there may well be more compensation for virus patients."
ReplyDeleteGrudgingly admit that your wrong and the turn around and immediately down play it (i.e. there MAY WELL be). A few more dismissive remarks and it will be like you never admitted you were wrong.
There may well be. Such a nice turn of words. So clever. You should take up writing poetry.
2. Hospitals do not have to break the law. Cheating is written into the law.
plz show evidence that hospitals are faking death causes. that is illegal. give links. to prove what you suggest, hint at, guess at. ps: Fox is not a reliable source
ReplyDeleteFox Settled a Lawsuit Over Its Lies. But It Insisted on One Unusual Condition. -
The social media posts did not cite any evidence to support the allegation that New York hospitals are inflating their COVID-19 case numbers to bring in more money. The CMS told Reuters it does not comment on investigative activity. A CMS representative said any false claims by healthcare providers would be subject to recoupment and/or other potential civil or criminal charges.
ReplyDeleteVERDICT
Partly false. The CARES Act calls for a 20%, rather than a 15%, increase in reimbursement when a hospital cares for a patient with COVID-19; the increase does not apply “every time,” but only to Medicare recipients and the uninsured; there is no evidence that New York City hospitals are inflating their case numbers.
read your link with some care as to who qualifies and who does not etc rather than assuming that any and all deaths can be passed off as Covid
Travelling covid nurses gets 10k/week, tax free in the US
ReplyDeleteThose are the ones that put you under
For 10k/week they follow whatever protocol they're told and inject people with deadly remdesivir that makes you drown in your own bodily fluids, then mark it as covid case to keep the job and the hospital gets 20k-70k extra for each dead "covid" patient
They're killing you
Through capitalism and a corrupted society
And it works
You will have to share your country with tens of thousands of nurses and doctors who are murderers now.

ReplyDeleteMan who died in motorcycle crash counted as COVID-19 death in Florida: Report
ReplyDeleteYes, hospitals and coroners do lie.
Now we go with the cascade of Fred lying debate positions.
Seth Rich was murdered by Democrats. We saw how Democrats got pullitzers for the Russian Hoax and their pullitzers are not being rescinded. Sad
Defrocked NY governors Cuomo got an emmy for his COVID performance. Thee rate of death is higher than Florida than NY, but they gave him an emmy for killing senior citizens.
Such is the truth in America.
one case in Florida (!) hardly is proof of major lies from hospitals. "It is unclear whether or not his death was removed from the overall count in the state" read the link you put up!
ReplyDeleteWrong on Seth Rich! show us where police say he was murdered for anything other than a robbery attempt
ReplyDeleteCumo was stripped of his Emmy
you really ought to stop your silliness
A) Police are always right and the police would never, ever decide to come up with reports or findings to please a mayor. Funny robbery, where you don't take the victims wallet.
ReplyDeleteWe could talk about downloads speeds. We could compare the download speed to a thumb drive compared to an internet connection, but we would have to compare numbers and you are not very good with numbers. I've seen squirrels count higher than you.
B) "Andrew Cuomo stripped of special Emmy after resignation" - NBC
"In November 2020, Cuomo received the International Emmy Founders Award from the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for his coronavirus briefings.
In August 24, 2021, the morning after his departure, the Academy rescinded the Emmy award due to the New York Attorney General's report on sexual harassment allegations against him."
To be honest International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences people only rescinded the award because he lost hos office. If he had survived they would have let him keep the Emmy.
Cuomo literally got an Emmy for killing thousands senior citizens. He placed infectious seniors from the hospital into nursing homes. It was done to make his numbers look good.
It must be a Democrat privilege to put infectious patients into a nursing home. Special dispensation and all.
In the eyes of Democrats eyes, Cuomo's sin was falling from power. Cuomo did not do anything that Clinton didn't do. In fact compared to Clinton, Cuomo was a piker.
International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences COULD HAVE RESCINDED THE AWARD WHEN CUOMO ANNOUNCED HIS RESIGNATION on August 10th.
"On August 10, 2021, Cuomo announced that he would step down in two weeks." - Wiki.
Why wait 2 weeks? Because there was a slim chance that he might hang on?
The reason Cuomo lost the Emmy is, because he fell from power and that is a cardinal sin in the Church of Liberal.
The people with those morals are the DNC, International Emmy Founders Award, you, and likeminded fascists
Should have nuked China for murdering the world.
ReplyDelete"one case in Florida (!) hardly is proof of major lies from hospitals. "It is unclear whether or not his death was removed from the overall count in the state" read the link you put up!"
ReplyDeleteThere are cases of people being shot with a gun or dying in car accidents being recorded as COVID. I gave one example, because frankly you are a shit and you debate like a shit. Once we move on from examples or anecdotes and go with stats you will bug out or copy and paste one study from a lib papers and then bug out.

They were not going to change it until caught and they will change it right back when no one is looking. If you have to stand over a person for them to do their job, then they are worthless.
1. I do not like Cuomo. I am not his defender. He got an award and when it was made public what he had done the reward was yanked. Your "reason" is pure nonsense.
ReplyDelete2. the police are often wrong. But they are hardly covering up a planned murder and if you have evidence otherwise, then make that known. Making a stupid guess and accusing others with no proof is childish, and even criminal.
the reason this and the reason that--show us how you know. where you discovered this, what link you can point to

DeletePeople here defending the government or Democrats are deep state skills and goose stoppers and worse. The scum of this planet, defending Democrat ghouls, pedos, war mongers, drug pushers
ReplyDeleteJust the worst you'll see in your life. The worst.
"1. I do not like Cuomo.
ReplyDeletePick any nation al level Democrat and you will defend them to the hilt no matter their stand on an issue. A person can make book on it.
" I am not his defender"
Of course not. He fell from power. Should we go back through your old comments? It would be harder since 90% of the time you post anon, but everyone of us recognizes your style.
"2. the police are often wrong. But they are hardly covering up a planned murder"
Not far fetched,. If police are willing to pin murders on the wrong person, they would be willing to look t a murder and throw up their hands and exclaim "We do not know who dunnit."

10 of the Worst Wrongful Imprisonment Cases
It is a small step from wrongful imprisonment because the mayor was leaning on the department to knuckling under to people, who make the mayor look like chump change.
If a police department makes a mistake innocently or on purpose, other people in the organization or people coming after them will often cover it up. They will cover up not because they agree with the mistaken, sloppy, or ill intentioned police work, but because that is they way organizations usually work.
With your bachelor's degree, you should know that.
"otherwise: shut your stupid mouth"
You are going Karen on people? How nice.
1. I[sic] do not like Cuomo.
ReplyDeleteBy your rules of grammar, you misspelled i. LMAO!
You (anon)complain about me because I am anon?
ReplyDeletelook, misfit: if you have evidence to show the "Democrats" killed that person, then offer it.
Till such time, what this or that person thinks does not truly solve, indict, convict anyone. You love playing games since you need to show mommy that say "Look I am important." Nope. You are not. You are just a sniveling low-ego guy or girl.
The police are often wrong. But you can not call them wrong here unless you can show with some evidence that they are wrong or misguided. You fail to do that and of course, instead, post sniveling smart-ass comments about me.
Now if you want to put up or shut up, then I will go along with what the police have said. If you think the police are lying etc., then show us where, how, when and where. Till such time, fuck off.
Are you being a "better" Freddy baby? You sure do worry about "evidence" and "respect" these days. You never did before, how come you've changed, Freddy?

ReplyDeleteRussian Hoax. See Durham investigation. Democrats blame others for what they do.
ReplyDeleteDemocrats blamed the Russian for the hack. They were not hackled. It was an inside job. Democrats stopped their leak. Leak came to a dead stop.
Hillary realized she had a Russia image problem. So she accused The Donald of what her crime family was doing. Engaging with Russia.
Bill Clinton got $500,000 for a speech of half hour length. Bill isn't that smart.
