Looks like drive-ins are coming back. I approve.

I think a lot of that is that they’ve quietly started using oxygen therapy instead of ventilators. Those things are deadly.

Why do you think I recovered without incident? Nebulizer work.

Recovered from what exactly? Were you ever tested or are you assuming you had COVID?

Yes, and I have the antibodies. I had it because I worked for a company that had direct contact with the Biogen executive that helped bring it over here.

Real shit

Hey guys, remember when Andrew Cuomo sent all of those COVID-19 positive patients to nursing homes, and then coincidentally they had all of those nursing home COVID deaths? Well, turns out, all the additional COVID-19 patients DID NOT contribute to the totally coincidental deaths of all those old people in nursing homes. Just ask New York Health Commissioner, Dr. Howard Zucker!

New York Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker defended the state’s policy at a press conference on Monday, saying that “admission policies were not a significant factor in nursing home fatalities.” State Assemblyman Ron Kim, a Democrat representing Queens, slammed the report as a “cover-up.”

Some COVID denying idiot replies:

“This is a conflict of interest for the health department to investigate its own poor decisions,” Kim told the New York Post. “For them to say that the decision of sending COVID-19 patients from hospitals into nursing did not contribute to increasing infections is ludicrous.”

New York’s reported coronavirus fatality rate from nursing homes currently stands at around 6,500. However, the state only classifies coronavirus deaths as occurring in nursing homes if the patient passes away while physically present at a nursing home. If a nursing home resident dies at a hospital after having been transferred out, the death is not counted as having come from a long-term care facility.

A June 30 report from the Empire Center, a think tank based in Albany, shows that the vacancy rate at nursing homes in New York soared during the coronavirus pandemic. While not all of these vacancies can be attributed to coronavirus deaths, author Bill Hammond, the center’s senior fellow for health policy, estimates that over 10,000 nursing home residents have died as a result of coronavirus.

The POTUS pulled us out of the WHO.

On top of the Paris Accords, Iran deal, and several others.

UNITED NATIONS NEXT

That happens, my god, what will the world think? Would the next president be able to reverse it at all?

[C-Mag]

The organizations will crumble in a few years without us. Since our taxes fund it.

We fund 35 to 40% of the WHO. No one is going to contribute that much to keep it alive.

They may have not thought this one through.
On account of thinking ain't their forte.

So, Florida is the new epicenter right? 11 percent infection rate, right?

https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/fox-3 ... -19-report

The Florida Department of Health released its daily coronavirus testing report showing a statewide positivity rate of 11 percent, but FOX 35 News investigated and quickly noticed some shocking positivity rates.

Countless labs have reported a 100 percent positivity rate, which means every single person tested was positive. Other labs had very high positivity rates. FOX 35 found that testing sites like Centra Care reported that 83 people were tested and all tested positive. Then, NCF Diagnostics in Alachua reported 88 percent of tests were positive.

The report showed that Orlando Health had a 98 percent positivity rate. However, when FOX 35 News contacted the hospital, they confirmed errors in the report. Orlando Health's positivity rate is only 9.4 percent, not 98 percent as in the report.

The report also showed that the Orlando Veteran’s Medical Center had a positivity rate of 76 percent. A spokesperson for the VA told FOX 35 News on Tuesday that this does not reflect their numbers and that the positivity rate for the center is actually 6 percent.

Bob in statistics is forgetting to include the decimal point, again. Good help is hard to find, smh.
