Some things to watch for:
1. All deaths are Corona deaths - NY just changed over 1000 deaths to Corona deaths, I assume so hospitals can get extra money. But the alternative reason is to justify tyrannical lockdowns.
2. State by state lockdown variations - I greatly respect that Trump is following the constitution and letting states set their own lockdown rules. Look for Dem states to have extended lockdowns and for them to be rigidly enforced - all in the name of “protecting the people”.
3. Cultural changes - I saw a healthy young family walking in the park with masks on. I can tell you that is not the norm in Texas and I hope it isn’t the norm.
Ping. Freepmail impimp to go on ping list.
What’s going on in New York State is Medicare Fraud on steroids.
Hospitals are clearing their books of all indigent cases while the Feds are still willing to pay for them. Some uninsured guy who died of a gunshot would in January has surely been reclassified as a COVID victim.
William Barr, pick up the white courtesy phone...

Common sense?
Nyet! You must have “collectivist sense”, komrade.
Meanwhile, death rates from cancer, heart disease and pneumonia are way down. Hmmm.
In my travels yesterday,I was pleasantly surprised. When you threaten Texans livelihoods ingenuity goes in high gear. Think Prohibition plus the internet. I talked to two retailers that say their “bootlegging” is going so well they may not open up their storefronts again.
My mom got a white blood cell booster (Neupogen) when she had cancer in 1996.
It was supposed to strengthen her immune system.

This article says 3700 were changed:
"NYC death toll soars past 10,000 as city adds 3,700 probable deaths from COVID-19"
If the bodies were found in a house or nursing home, why would a hospital get anything? That’s what was added to the count: Bodies found outside a hospital setting.
“NY just changed over 1000 deaths to Corona deaths, I assume so hospitals can get extra money.”
People have been dying in their homes trying to ride out the pandemic. Often testing isn’t available due to overwhelming demand.
In NYC, firefighters and EMS are picking up people found dead at home across the city on a daily basis in three figures.
I know someone who is awaiting test results north of NYC and the son who is autistic is awaiting a test time. The mom has been suffering with chest ailment and probably should be in the hospital already. If things go south and based on doctors reports it can happen quickly, she’d probably never make it to the hospital in time.
I always love a good ignorant thread from the flubros. It’s just the flu bros!
Ignorance run amok and proud.
“NY just changed over 1000 deaths to Corona deaths, I assume so hospitals can get extra money.”
Right. The hospitals supposedly get 3X the money for WuFlu deaths than regular deaths. Why WOULDN’T deBlasio and Cuomo go for the bigger bucks? Screw getting America back to normal.
Yesterday I was jogging on a dirt road that eventually leads to a couple dozen homes on 10 acre lots. Their mailboxes are located where the dirt road meets pavement.
As I jogged, a lady drove by. Alone in a car. Wearing a face mask. She stopped at the mailboxes, collected her mail, got back in, and drove back. Wearing a face mask to protect her from......from....what?
I’m nervous about the election. I think far too many have really bought in to the media’s assessment that Trump sneaks around, hiding in bushes, ready to jump out and cough in their fearful faces! That this virus is more deadly than a lightning strike. That it is hiding everywhere, ready to eat little children.
It isn’t JUST the flu. But it isn’t nearly as serious as the pathetic weenies in America make out. We took a carrier off cruise and their men were PROUD to be taken off cruise over a virus that worst case might kill a half-dozen of them. NOT the military I served in for 25 years!
Sorry. Just very frustrated that so many Americans WELCOME Mommy Government!
