The Covid-19 Info thread (keep politics out please)

[Homedawg]

Yeah. At some point people are going to say enough is enough and just go on with life.

This^. This isn't the plague. We have to go on. Otherwise, we will be paying for services w pet rabbits.

I hate to tell you guys but I went out and about today. I’ve elected to avoid the news the past two days. I took hand cleaner with me and me and my wife and kids went for a drive. Stopped and grabbed some groceries. Went geocaching. Sightseeing. There was plenty of food, meat, and veggies in the shelves. Gas was 1.50. We cleaned our hands and wore masks at the grocery store...as did everyone else that was there.

Ends up...it’s not the end of the world. The USA will keep moving and will thrive again. If I wasn’t wearing a mask in the grocery store and cleaning my hands when I touched something public it would have just been another day...

My wife and I road down to Windsor ruins yesterday. I have to say enjoyed the ride. There were porbably 15 others there when we got there.

Yep. And while hospitals are in the business of helping people- there is a business side to it too.

Person who is a nursing home patient who has a history of multiple strokes and in in their 90's also tests positive for Coronavirus passes away. PROVE that this person didn't die of Coronavirus. The agencies can't. And really the hospital can't either so they've washed their hands ethically. Then they get their money.

Exactly. Hospitals and staff are there to help people but if you can't stay in business you ain't gonna be helping anyone.

Yes. Unfortunately we don't live in a fairy tale world.

[confucius say]

Again it's not fraudulent if they have a positive COVID test because it can't be assumed that they didn't die of COVID especially if they come to the hospital with it. Now maybe they did or maybe they didn't but it's no different than not being able to prove something in the legal world.

If they get taken to court over it the hospital's lawyers will just show the patient record with the positive COVID test and then everyone will go home.

Also- it's not ethical to provide services and then not claim reimbursement for services provided. That's the other side of the coin.

They don't have to have a positive test for it not to be fraudulent. As long as the symptoms line up with those of covid, CARES allows for it to be categorized as covid.

Yep! We headed for planet of the apes if we don't get going.

I don't think we know as much as we thought we did.

My Mom's nursing home had an employee show up for work with aches and pains but no fever. NH sent the EE home to go to the MD to be examined. MD said EE didn't need COVID test gave meds and released to work. NH tested EE as a precaution and EE tested positive.

I get weekly updates from the administrator via snail mail.

Does a symptomatic mean contagious? I haven't found a response that states asymptomatic means you can transfer COVID.

Symptomatic just means that you have symptoms of a disease and it's a general term.

In this case to answer your question- yes, this person is contagious since we are talking about Coronavirus.

[Cooterpoot]

So physicians are fraudulently saying people have COVID?

No, but they aren't telling them to go home and self-quarantine like they were. They're admitting them more now.

[Gutter Cobreh]

No, but they aren't telling them to go home and self-quarantine like they were. They're admitting them more now.

Where is your data to show this? I'd be interested in seeing where you see hospitalizations increasing.

[confucius say]

Would explain the spike in hospitalizations

[Commercecomet24]

No, but they aren't telling them to go home and self-quarantine like they were. They're admitting them more now.

This is exactly what's happening.

I had a previous co-worker (retired) who caught COVID about 10 days ago. She's 72, has COPD and kidney failure, along with other issues, and went on a vent. She came off the vent yesterday. Crazy how this virus doesn't kill someone like that.

Some people are just tough as nails and their body won't quit. I had an uncle who was a fireman. That guy was a medical Rasputin. He had bouts with 4 different cancers, emphysema, a heart attack, and was stabbed, all in this 70s. Was dead on the table 3 times. Took a car wreck that wasn't his fault to kill him.

Symptoms are different with everyone. I never really had a fever but I could breath for 3 weeks. My admin assistant had a fever for an entire week but had no problem breathing. My son has a cough but no other symptoms. All Covid. If you show any symptom..... stay away from people. Not only are you risking others but you're also risking yourself of getting a high viral load.

It's crazy how it affects people so differently.
Especially older people but not children whose immune systems are still not strong. Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but I understand how people could think it was modified to target a specific subset.

Scroll down bout halfway to the chart that shows hospitalizations.
