Highly likely, especially is there is a "bounty" for each Covid death in the stimulus package.
Wondering if it is possible to smoke out the hype in the NYC numbers by comparing Y-O-Y deaths in NYC for March or April of this year with March or April of prior years. Is there an actual statistically significant difference in the raw count?
My daughter is an ICU nurse. One of the main frustrations that she has with her job is having to deal with hospital administrators who are essentially bean counters. They understand a lot about spreadsheets and payables, but next to nothing about healthcare.
You can rest assured that they never miss a trick when it comes to shoving the costs of indigent care onto somebody else (Witness Michelle Obama’s $300K job redirecting those patients to other hospitals).
