Its the people paying extra money that make big deal out of the deaths as to apparently to spread fear for some strange reason, imo.
Am through with this and feel free to say whatever you want about my opinions per you being a legend already and how could my layman opinions possibly even begin to sway anyone anyhow. The thread is yours to say as you will without anymore input from me which only become minor speed bumps for you to so easily navigate anyway. Yielding to your superior intellect and hands on experience and pray that you stay safe while working with the sick brother.
By the way have you contracted covid ? Or maybe a high percentage the physicians and nurses you work with per not being vaccinated and obviously being in such a close proximity with sick in the long months before vaccination ?
Never mind got to go to work now anyway and will not check anything in this thread from this point forward. Would rather talk football until season gets cancelled. Which hopefully does not happen, but from the sounds of popular opinion it probably should be for everybody's safety. Am cool with anything that saves lives even if I think its extreme. But have been wrong before so am fine erring on the side of caution for the masses. Just so glad I dropped my season tickets this year, which was very hard being on the front row right behind the Bengals bench for 3 decades. Yet the time was right and its clearly becoming something other than the escape from daily routine that I so looked forward to every home game at PBS.
Rock on and I respect your posts even if we slightly disagree on this subject.
Stay safe and Who-Dey !
That was never my intent. I respect your opinion and especially what you do for others which is why I thanked you for what you do (because I suspect no one else has.) That was sincere. Nor have I tried to belittle your opinion. If it came across that why I apologize.
No, I haven't gotten Covid, but we've been in full PPE to include N95 masks which we had to use for up to a month due to shortages. And we were given involuntary pay cuts to help reduce the loss of revenue. Again, hospitals get paid for services, not Covid deaths. You're correct they do get paid more for services to Covid patients. It is illegal and immoral for a doctor to diagnosis someone with a condition the patient does not have. It is insurance fraud and a criminal offense, in addition to jail the provider can lose their career, and the hospital can incur treble damages, not to mention the government intrusion and further loss of revenue from being barred from seeing Medicare and Medicaid patients. If you were a doctor would you risk your entire career and future earnings so your hospital would receive more reimbursement?

If Covid insurance fraud was occuring on a national level to the extent some claim (without evidence) there would be a lot more of these cases being prosecuted because medical fraud is a BFD to the government.

Also, whistleblowers who report suspected medical fraud can receive rewards of hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. So if you have knowledge of fraud, report it.
I don't consider a vaccine extreme. When I was in the military getting a vaccination was way down on the list of things that could harm me. Same is true now as a civilian medical provider.
