question:
if the Rona was as deadly as the Left says, why hasn't a Liberal politician died from it yet?
One more liberal hypocrite. Philly mayor **** down indoor restaurants but he went to eat at one in Maryland. Rules are not for your socialists overlords.
Dr. Birx: Unlike Some Countries, "If Someone Dies With COVID-19 We Are Counting That As A COVID-19 Death"
Posted By Tim Hains
On Date April 8, 2020
At Tuesday's White House coronavirus press conference, task force member Dr. Deborah Birx said that while some countries are reporting coronavirus fatality numbers differently, in the U.S. you are counted as a victim of the pandemic if you die while testing positive for the virus, even if something else causes your death.
The CDC currently puts the number of confirmed deaths at about 100,000. But even the “best estimate” 0.26% fatality rate is a significant overestimate because of how the CDC is counting deaths. The actual rate is fairly close to a recent bad year for the seasonal flu. And though public health officials have been transparent about how they are counting coronavirus deaths, the implications for calculating the infection fatality rate are not appreciated.
“The case definition is very simplistic,” Dr. Ngozi Ezike, director of Illinois Department of Public Health, explains. “It means, at the time of death, it was a COVID positive diagnosis. That means, that if you were in hospice and had already been given a few weeks to live, and then you also were found to have COVID, that would be counted as a COVID death. It means, technically even if you died of [a] clear alternative cause, but you had COVID at the same time, it’s still listed as a COVID death.”
Our ruling: True
We rate the claim that hospitals get paid more if patients are listed as COVID-19 and on ventilators as TRUE.
Hospitals and doctors do get paid more for Medicare patients diagnosed with COVID-19 or if it's considered presumed they have COVID-19 absent a laboratory-confirmed test, and three times more if the patients are placed on a ventilator to cover the cost of care and loss of business resulting from a shift in focus to treat COVID-19 cases.
It’s still the case, though, that many of those new cases are in blue counties. While more new cases are emerging in states that voted for Trump, those outbreaks were often in places that voted for Clinton.

Thanks for your concern, but you've got it all wrong... These moms who've been coming out each day to peacefully protest.

Steelr4evr, what a man's man! Willing to defend the unconstitutional abuse of power and excessive use of force by an umarked, rogue paramilitary force on the streets of America. Ready to throw down with the soccer moms to defend an uncouth, facist authoritarian in the WH. What a brave patriot you are. We can all only dream of aspiring to be as tough and strong as you, a true, red-blooded American. Most importantly, libtards cower in fear from a badass like you, our knees are literally shaking when we see your threats of violence posted on a messageboard.

So, basically, if you are between the ages of 50-64 and in reasonable health, your chances of dying from Covid-1984 are 1 in 19.1 million per Stanford and UCLA study.

Well we survived the first day of in person class! Our kiddos were rock stars and wore their masks like champs. We didn’t have any issues with the changes other than lunch- our kids are used to getting a choice and this year they don’t. They also have to eat in the classroom, so that was a change. It was really eerie though- the GenEd kids were basically silent in the halls and socialization was at a minimum. NOT they typical HS scene. I know that not every day will go this well, so I should t get that excited- but we survived the first day- the hardest day!!!
