Wow, is that ever messed up!

Our Kootenai Health (Coeur d’Alene, ID) had a big Q&A / FAQ in the local paper a few days ago. People were saying they had heard they would get more federal money for inflating COVID cases. Kootenai denied it vigorously, then a couple days later an article came out about how this “bounty” for COVID cases is real and really distorting the numbers nationwide.
The government could f**k up a football.
