I don't look at numbers my Brother. I am on the floor.
and last thing I would do is listen to a Politician. or else I would be drinking bleach to clean my system.
Come on 2ez, you know i love you, but how can you state not looking at numbers? Again, i'm not saying you were specifically doing what I posted above, but how are you and others going to complain about being overloaded with patients when they have that much of an error in possibly being reported falsely? This time of the year, most clinics and hospitals also get a rise in cases being that it is flu season. Are these being counted as Covid, or reported incorrectly?
The Governor of NY is a democrat as I know you know, and she's just interpreting the results from the audits of NY hospitals (intentionally?) misreporting figures 20-50% off from what they are, in this case misinterpreting, or just flat out falsely reporting, that 20-50% of the covid cases being positive, and wrong. It's happening out here in Cali as well. Just after Biden took office, a few months later, IIRC in Alameda County, was reported as falsely diagnosing patients as positive by 30%.
To make matters worse, for the present time out here, just this past Friday, I was talking to a mother at my kid's school, who works as a nurse for a top physician in the area, and she mentioned right now the doctor has ordered that every patient coming into his office sick be written up as Covid+. I asked her why, and she mentioned that he basically stated that 'everybody coming in will get it at some point so they might as well just document it as being the case now.' She said that they are recording them as +, even if they test negative. WTF? What's funny is that after I talked to her, and while I was at Walmart, about 30 minutes later doing some shopping, I ran into both a nurse and referrals clerk at a clinic i used to work at, and both said that the doctors at the clinic are doing the same thing right now too...wtf? I asked why, and she mentioned the same thing as the lady I talked to earlier, as well as it being ordered from the CEO and HR. What's funny is that I asked her if they were prescribing any meds like monoclonal antibodies, HCQ, or Ivermectin, and she mentioned no, that they have been against these options, and they are encouraged not to give them out. Then in the same breath, she mentioned that these same physicians are taking Ivermectin as a prophylactic...da fukk? So, it's bad and they shouldn't give it out, yet it's okay for those in charge to take them? Get out of here! They spoke to me about this because we are friends, but also told me they are not supposed to be sharing this info, that they keep it under the radar, as ordered in their meetings.
btw, thanks for being on the front line...you and others here, all.
