We buried my best friend yesterday at St. Peter and Paul cemetery in Springfield Pa. He went to the hospital with suspected pneumonia. They tested him and classified him with Covid 19. They took care of him for several days then sent him to hospise. Hospise tested him to protect everyone else and said the hospital diagnosis was wrong. Makes you wonder what these people are doing with the numbers of Covid patients, does it not?
So sorry about your friend. 😔
Sad story, may your friend Rest In Peace.
Many many many people die “with covid” but not “from covid.” Hospitals make more money on Covid patients.
At the beginning of the “pandemic,” my friend who works for Visa said a man called in objecting to hospital charge of $35,000 for covid when he actually had a broken leg, which would have been a $7,000 charge. Powerline Blog had a video up at the beginning of two young emergency room docs saying the hospital told them to diagnose Covid no matter what was wrong with people. Same reason, hospitals can charge more.
So, no, I am not all that alarmed about a bad flu season.
