MOUNT JULIET, TN (WSMV) - Brock Ballou expected the first call.
After all, his co-worker had tested positive for COVID-19, so he expected a call from a contact tracer.
He didn’t anticipate, however, what the tracer would tell him.
“She specifically said – I’m looking at it right here – you tested positive – this is a follow up call to see how your symptoms are,” Ballou said.
There was just one major problem - because he hadn’t experienced any symptoms, Ballou hadn’t been tested yet.

Needed a urine test (unrelated to Covid). The lab facility was not allowing patients in their waiting room. We had to wait outside in our cars - blazing 91 degrees - for an hour!!!
There were about a dozen people ahead of me, so I left!!!!
Anyone need a cup of urine?
Bkmrk
Can you copy the article link for me because it’s coming up empty on my computer.
Thanks. I know where (most $$) comes from, here in the USA, to pay for these “Covid” cases.
What about the rest of the world?
For some reason, I have a haunting suspicion that a nefarious agency, or entity, is funding, as well.
Same link in posting.
Okay, thanks. Link comes up empty on Chrome, but does work for me on Firefox. I don’t know why.
Well I agree that there is a point in having patients with CoVID to collect the money — lets get the facts straight. The hospital only collects money on a DRG with an inpatient admission that meets criteria (>2 MN stay and medically necessary for complexity and / or intensity). Just because there is a (+) doesn’t mean some hospital gets $13,000
I wonder if these 3rd party tracers get paid for every positive test?
No way to ever validate the true numbers of COVID and the people pushing COVID hysteria know this.
Same thing happened to a friend in Phoenix
Heard a story from a doctor that got covid test positive, had to go home and retest for 10 day, finally got a negative test. Found out that all 10 tests that came back positive (original, plus 9 days before a negative test result) were reported as “new” positive cases. They are not delineating between new cases and retests.
does any sane person think that anyone connected with the government actually knows what they are doing?
Yes, you do...look at what you wrote. The answer is right there.
Having worked in this field before, I’m sure somebody gets some $$ for a positive test, somewhere...it’s the nature of the beast (business?)
Government agencies are lead by directors that are appointed by politicians...there's your answer.
In much of society world wide these days the victim is at the top of the pyramid. The more an individual (or nation-state) plays up need, the more money and prestige they get.
In that part of society, the person or group that is self-sufficient is at the bottom of the pyramid, to be disrespected and ridiculed.
