Covid - 19 - Louisiana Edition

[CARTEK]

The death count is correct, if not too low.

Bullshit! Multiple reports from attending doctors and staff of people swabbing positive but dying of gunshot, vehicle accident, slip and fall, etc. having "Covid-related" on the death certificate.

Germany and South Korea figured it out.

As did most Republican run states/cities.

Rule #1 - Don't put covid19 patients in nursing homes with your most vulnerable citizens.

Rule#2 - Don't force residents to quarantine in high-rise apartments that function as petri dishes.

Thank heaven our localities are not run by our bloated federal bureaucracy....where some idiot in control could force everyone to break rule #1 and 2.

Elections have consequences, and you guys that voted for this incompetent clown took America out of the elite category and put us on par with the former had-beens like Italy and Spain. It is time to Make America Great Again, like it was 4 years ago.

I didn't vote for him, but I plan to remedy that error this time around.

Good news...I got a haircut today!!! Yippee!

Bad news...the price has gone up. My hair stylist, Ms. Carrie, says they have been closed two months, so no income, and bam! cost of supplies have all gone up too from wholesalers who have been sitting on two months supply of hair coloring products.

More like blame FoxNews. They were the ones giving these TV doctors (Drew, Oz, Phil) airtime even when what they were saying was inconsistent with what the experts were saying.

You are taking Fauci’s comments our of context from January.

What he was saying was like the advice on masks “at that time.”

There wasn’t evidence that we had it in the US at that time. It wasn’t time for quarantining or wearing masks. It was time for the administration to put together a coherent national plan that was effective for dealing with it when it got here. They completely failed (and are still failing on that) because Trump isn’t a real leader.

The hospitals and deaths figures were what would happen if we didn’t lock down. That is why we did lock down, so that wouldn’t happen. Hope you are taking note again Techman05.

We are over 80k deaths now and heading to 150k with the reopening.

Trump and FoxNews are who was telling you that chloroquine works. That was always based on shaky evidence that experts (like Fauci) had reservations with.

80K? Only 2.2M more to go, to be right on their predictions.

Fauci's a clown. (You should know all about that.) I wouldn't trust Fauci to babysit my kids.....and they are in their 30's now. LOL!

There's a lot of people that say the chloroquine works, particularly when mixed properly with Zinc. These "witnesses" include the black female state representative in Michigan who took it after getting coronavirus and seeing Trump talk about the chloroquine on TV. She swears it cured her. There are many others as well. Unfortunately, like everything else, it became "political" when the lamestream media learned that Trump's blind trust owns a mutual fund that apparently owns a very small amount of stock in the maker of chloroquine (along with many other stocks as well). It was said that Trumps total amount of ownership in the chloroquine maker thru the mutual fund totaled between 5K and 15K in total. Hard to believe that Fauci and the Dems would rather see people die than actually use the chloroquine solution, but here we are.

I heard on the radio this morning that the coronavirus death rate in Tennessee is 4 people dead for every 100,000 people. That's a 0.004% death rate. And yes, Tennessee is a red state, with a Republican Governor (Bill Lee), and two (2) Republican U.S. Senators.

I wish I could remember who the official was that said this on tv at a briefing, but basically they said: "If a person who is under hospice care and contracts coronavirus and dies, their death would be counted as a coronavirus death".

They were already dying anyway, thus the hospice care. But there is money given for a coronavirus death as opposed to a cancer death.

More money to what? If they are on hospice why would they be treated for coronavirus?

Why would people admit to lying ona death report and violating the CDC guidelines?

Rush knows exactly how you like your chain pulled!

I have no idea.. the lady just said that if that person died who was on hospice and they contracted CV-19 their death would be listed as CV-19 not whatever they were in hospice for.

Sounds like an oversimplified explanation. If COVID played a role in the death, it counts.

The compensation conspiracy theory is wack. Insurance fraud is not something hospitals and doctors should play around with. Even then, that theory makes even less since for hospice.
