And this fact is interesting, providers listing a patient as a Covid 19 patient, whether they are suffering actual symptoms or not for that medical encounter or admission, automatically increases Medicare payments to that provider approx. 20%, likely also does for private or group insurance reimbursements. In so many cases where Medicare, insurance fraud from up-coding reason for treatment, over-billing medical charges runs rampant, I doubt there is no overhyping this disease for profit, political purposes and increased media income.

The more frightened we are, the more we click on and view media for Covid 19 stories. Even the children the media readily reports as suffering from MIS-C, the often-referred to "covid-related" inflammatory disease, usually test negative for the actual Covid 19 virus. I was really shocked to hear that first on TV, then look it up and read it.

Sadly our biggest deaths is the nursing homes they were 81% of our deaths but while saying that many people in nursing homes have DNR orders so they might have survived who knows. I can’t wear a mask I have letters from my psychologist and asthma doctor but the Disability Act should protect me but I’m not pushing it. Last week I went to the first store I have been in, in about 3 months with no mask but it was a pet store and I never even came near anyone. Although I did not do it in my county I went over to the next county that is more ummmm conservative and not as judgy and no one said anything to me.
