Has anyone ever fact-checked these numbers? A motorcycle crash victim who died was considered a covid death, a family member who did not make it through heart surgery was considered a covid death. The fact hospitals and other health agencies received $13,900 for each covid death and $38,000 if a patient is on a respirator is certainly enough to cause one to question.
I am not saying the virus isn’t real but I am saying the real pandemic is actually the misinformation.
Christine M – Absolutely a valid point. I have a handful of contacts that died last year NOT due to Covid that were coded as Covid for the reimbur$ement. Very shady happenings and no one investigating it.
Which health agency gets $13,900 when someone dies of COVID? And when did someone die on a motorcycle, but was counted as a COVID death? I’ve read that comment several times, but never seen any substantiation of it, just like the 99.98% survival rate comment that I see posted repeatedly without any math suggesting how that calculation is derived. Please provide us some more info.
Yesterday it said “ICU beds in use by COVID-19 patients: 6.8%.” Today it says “ICU beds in use by COVID-19 patients: 67.1%.” Is that a typo or did it jump 60.3% in one day?
Kenny N., you can check ICU bed usage at the ISDH Coronavirus Dashboard. https://www.coronavirus.in.gov/2393.htm. 67.1% is the total ICU beds used out of a stated capacity of 2242. 7.6% of the total beds are in use and covid-related, according to the dashboard. Approx 32% of the 2242 ICU beds are available.
Hope this helps.
Thank you! That link was helpful, so I’m glad you included it. 6.8% to 7.6% makes a lot more sense.
The statistic that does not get discussed is the 7 day average deaths per day. We are at the lowest average since the pandemic started with 3 deaths per day. No death is good news but since we peaked out at 88 deaths per day (7 day rolling average) on January 3, 2021, this low average is a good number. The vaccines are working.
