The CDC used to define a “case” as a patient whose characteristic signs, symptoms, and physical examination matched a disease. Labs were only done if clinically needed. Since the “pandemic,” however, the move to boost case numbers is everywhere.
Instantly, a “positive” RT-PCR test in an asymptomatic person after a drive-through tonsillectomy became a “case.” The CARES Act gives thousands extra to hospitals for every “positive,” with a big bonus if the patient’s shadow is seen in an ICU. It’s a classic “one hand washes the other scenario” between outside labs and hospitals. “If you give me more positive results, I get more money, so I’ll send more tests to you.”
My hospital’s Medical Staff President flatly denied any CARES Act benefits at our 2020 Medical Staff Extravaganza, but the incentives can’t be denied. My hospital still sends “coders” out to demand that staff order COVID tests to get more payments. Put bluntly, there’s no way to know what any test means medically if the patient isn’t sick. But “positives” definitely mean money!
MIQE standards list eighty-five parameters that must be met in RT-PCR testing. Does every lab meet them all every time? Around the world, celebrities who test “positive” one day and “negative” the next strongly suggest that a lot of mistakes are being made. This is unsurprising since as early as 2017, the technique was well known for “lack of reproducibility.”
The inventor of the test stated that RT-PCR was never intended to be a diagnostic test and using it as one was scientifically illegitimate. “[It’s] like trying to say whether somebody has bad breath by looking at his fingerprint.”

Deaths AND case counts are way up YET where are the damn counters on ALL of the major new stations like when Trump was POTUS, the count tickers running day after day with the media SCREAMING from the roof tops NOW crickets!!
Are you sure the death and case counts are way up? Maybe worldwide, but surely not here in the states. They are up, I do agree, but not way up.
The Clot Shots
Thats why!!
22 years ago our 11 yo first daughter was complaining of significant pain in her lower right tummy.
Off to the ER. Doc sees her pretty quick, looks things over and in five minutes says .”I think she’s Ok but keep an eye on things”.
Not appendicitis?
He says “You’re right to be concerned but she just doesn’t look sick - no temp, bloods are good, color is fine (well, we are white but I don’t think that was what he was referring to ;-) so he sent us home.
Now we live in different times. At an ER, with a positive test for Covid WITH SYMPTOMS, we could just give them Ivermectin, a pulse oximeter and some vitamins (Zinc, C, D3/K2 and a multivitamin pack).
In India they knocked down a huge Delta wave in a month and a half by 98 percent with these med kits - one for the positive case and more for their family members.
Instead we’re sending out vaxxed super spreaders who are going to be the highest percentages of hospitalized/deaths.
See UK and Israel for reference.
Plandemic or Scamdemic - they are really screwing up our country.
I predict the problems will continue through the 2022 elections and then we’ll be “alright”. ;-(
In terms of deaths per million, India is at 323, the US is 2200 and the world rate is 625.
Good thing we live in a rich country with the best medical care system in the world.
Right Grandma? Grandma?
I do not know or have known anyone in the last year and a half or so that has had a cold or the flu. I know plenty that has or had Covid however.
The False Positives...That’s why.
I know 100 percent that my husband son and I do not have the virus, and you know why? Because we are on quarantine. Meaning we are staying by our selves. MY husband is 84, I am 80 and our son is 58. He does the shopping for us and wears a mask when he does. I asked him to let me go sometimes with him, but he refuses, and says I am not dragging you around. I am handcapped. I have degenerative disc decease, and degenerative hip-joint desease and I have to use a cane to walk and can only walk very slowly.
Because cases have now replaced deaths but they want you to believe its one in the same and the fear porn continues
So many statistics related to covid are just pure fiction. They’d probably be closer to the real numbers by just using a carnival number wheel and giving it a spin every they need to report.
NYS counts asymptomatics, probables, and repeat positives of the same patient as new cases.
And that’s just for starters.
Our stats are crap.
And always have been.
Nobody had the flu last year. In the medical field, if its "unremarkable" then don't worry, if its "remarkable" then you need to pay attention. No flu? Remarkable. Covid symptoms? Remarkable.
One other term you may not be familiar with - its "Iatrogenic" (induced inadvertently by a physician or surgeon or by medical treatment or diagnostic procedures).
If a doc is refusing to give a sick friend HCQ or Ivermectin WITH ZINC D3/K2 and C put that word in the first sentence with your lawyer's signature at the bottom. Trust me. ;-)
Off label use of approved medicine occurs millions of times a day. Just tell the doc you've got worms from a street taco. Gives them an excuse.
IMHO.
Because Democrats needed a big number to scare people and ‘Cases’ sounds impressive. Leftists lie like you and I breath, and they always do the opposite of what they claim. I saw an article about one upcoming whopper, “Xi Says He Wants ‘Peaceful Reunification’ With Taiwan After Sending 150 Warplanes Near the Island”, and you can give that a look at PJmedia. Look at Hong Kong, and the early end of the freedom treaty China had with the UK (supposed to end in 2047). Invasion of Taiwan in 3...2...1... And as we know covid existing doesn’t mean you will get it, getting it doesn’t mean you will get sick, and getting sick doesn’t mean you will die. The survival rate without a ‘vaccine’[SIC] is virtually 100% too!
Actually national death totals for all countries are NOT up and during a real pandemic they would be. They are moving other deaths into a column labeled Covid, more people overall are NOT dying.
No, just other deaths being re-labeled as covid. The overall death count everywhere, is not up. This is a terrorist tactic being used by Democrats to terrorize Americans.
Your son is doing the right thing. Tell him you need some vitamins. FReepmail me for a list. They’re just vitamins your body may need.
TH54
I am almost 80 and I don't (I guess) have Covid.
You know why?
Me, neither.
Lucky? GOD takes care of me?? Naturally immune???
Who knows...
What I do know is that years ago, after getting flu shots, I'd most certainly get the flu!
No; I've not had a flu shot in decades.
I've been once bitten; therefore...
I take a multi- nightly.
You are correct Elsie. It seems random - behaves like we think of other common colds and flus: Never blamed ourselves or anyone for giving it to you, or not taking precautions, or not having a flu shot - they just happen. Only got mad when people went to work sick and gave it to people.
This is a huge societal change.
MSM media only reports high numbers in red states like Florida and Texas. Those numbers have been falling like a rock for the last 7 or 8 weeks so there is nothing to report.
