Because we are over-counting deaths. We are paying a bonus for them.


I can tell you that hospitals make more money from elective surgery than anything else by far. I can tell you that a hospital that was announcing large numbers of COVID-19 deaths would not be the go to place for elective surgery. I can tell you that in the beginning of this mess there was a huge incentive to DENY having COVID-19 patients. There are factors both ways.

I tend to agree with you that we are over counting the deaths, but not by as much as you think.

Wife points this out.... Imagine if a woman was a Presidential nominee and had 5 children by 3 different fathers.... It just wouldn't happen.... but a man with children from 3 different women can be elected President. Clear example of double standard. Tanko and Paco are better at unearthing stuff like this.... can you find even a single example of a female politician with kids from 3 fathers that has been elected to ANYTHING in the entire USA?

I can't find a female politician who has even been married 3 times.

U.S. Census surveys show that only 3 percent of men and women marry three times or more, compared with 13 percent of men. Presumably, a very small fraction of that 3% of thrice-married women have children from three or more men.

Since women get elected to high political office much less than half the time, I expect that there are few if any that come out of the fraction of 3%.

South Korea is seeing a surge in new cases. Sixteen consecutive days of triple digit increases.

"The spike in cases has depleted hospital facilities, with the health ministry reporting that just 4.5% of beds in greater Seoul were available for critical cases as of Friday, down from 22% a week earlier."

We have spikes in this country and Trump still is not taking the virus seriously insisting schools open

He was married 3 times and each wife wanted kids. Over what, 35+ years? It is a nonissue.

When we find a woman married 3 times running for something get back to me.

If he had all the kids with different women not his wife he would just be in the NBA not POTUS.

I disagree on the elective surgery thing. I just had elective surgery and effectively had no choice on the hospital.

Back to overcounting, it is a huge thing. How many deaths was it just an aggravating factor? Real life example Frank Culotta. Guy was 83 and on oxygen. He was so bad he would need a break in his YouTube videos. But "Covid" was a "contributing factor" so it gets counted as a "covid death." Is that really a fair way to count it as one?

But there is incentive to have that magical "covid" on the death cert so it just gets added on.

What does 'insisting' mean? Andrew Cuomo has given the ok to open schools in NY. Are you saying he is doing so because Trump "insisted"? What is with you ignoring what is right in front of you? Cuomo sends COVID-19 into nursing homes. Trump sends ventilators into hospitals. Cuomo opens schools. Trump forced Cuomo to do so? Do you actually believe that? Please.... you must be aware that the federal government can do some things.... but not everything. Why do you keep your head in the sand ignoring the actual facts? TDS is treatable....

I knew a woman from a wealthy
family who was married 4 times,
had one kid from a marriage,
and 3 more kids from 3 men
she wasn't married to. She
was rich and beautiful and
men actually followed her
around and she played all
of them.
