I totally agree. My wife works in a local hospital here in FL they are tagging a lot of deaths to COVID no matter the cause as long as they test positive. None of the Doctors she deals with are "scared" either. The directive is to test positive patients multiple times until a negative result is achieved. But each positive test is listed as a new positive. Some how the hospital receives financial incentives for COVID deaths and positive cases. My brother goes to the Mayo clinic in Jacksonville on a regular basis due to a bout with cancer. He asked the Doctors there if they were scared and they told him that it is being blown way out of proportion and told him to just wash his hands and use good judgement.
Wait a tick: using hydroxychloroquine as a treatment would require a double blind test study, yet they've rushed a vaccine and are already administering it to humans within 5 months?!?! Come on, people.
Good observation. And again....follow the money.
The vaccine is still going through clinical trials. The process has just been sped up.
The process couldn’t be sped up for hydroxychloroquine as well? Why yes, yes it could.
prelim report on the 45 patients who received the Moderna vaccine.
Folks got 2 injections one month apart and 3 different doses were tested with the higher 2 doses creating antibodies at similar levels to individuals who actually had the virus. Only one person dropped out due to hives.
a good start
You're moving goalposts, but I can still answer the question.
Have RCTs been performed with HCQ? Yes, yes they have.
Did they show any benefit for patients? No, no they didn't.
Good for Walmart. They have mandated masks in all their stores including Sams Club nationwide. If others in the private sector follow suit we may see some relief in 4-6 weeks.
Florida today - 50710 Tests, 10181 Cases (20.1%), 453 hospitalizations (new record) and 112 deaths.
@Bankwalker Cases 2,738 (27.2%) over 55.
Sorry if you've already posted this and I missed it, but how does this stack up w/ Florida's 7 day average on positivity rate?
Think so? We’ve had mandatory masks in grocery stores in Miami since late March or so and doesn’t seem to have given us any relief.
Note—I’m pro mask.
No rebuttals for the ER doctors who have no fear of the “crippling disease,“ or the lab scientist who admitted that she’s being pressured to tag COVID deaths?
Not until they go public.
This is data I get from the dashboard developed by Rebekah Jones. The only real difference on daily data is that she includes non resident deaths (Prisons, immigrant communities andothers deemed non residents) which now totals 105 since March 1st.
The change 7/12 on Hospital was she was reporting cumulative hospitalized from March 1st but changed to currently in hospital. The numbers I quoted earlier are from the official state dashboard.
Does this data you’re using include all the private labs that weren’t reporting positivity rates correctly? If so, It will be interesting to see how that percentage changes in the coming days/weeks. I understand it’s not the most important data presented, but should show that the virus isn’t spreading as rapidly as once thought in Florida, no?
Please refrain from giving out DVs in this thread. It just builds bad will, doesn't advance the conversation, and isn't persuasive.
Edit: Members with drastically different views on the issue from myself and Denmen have been good about not DVing our posts, so the courtesy should be extended the other way. I'm sure they are just as frustrated with our stance as you are with theirs.
so at least its not only the USA experiencing this
Just heard on the radio a caller from an Emergency Room “Coder”, meaning she logs patient diagnosis data into the computers. She claimed (anonymously) that her hospital in Texas, and other states with affiliated hospitals, are actually coding patients as Covid positive who HAVEN’T EVEN BEEN TESTED. She has seen it with her own eyes but can only control her codes. She stated her hospital receives financial assistance for Covid positive tests. Could she be lying? Sure, but do you think she is lying?
There is no reliable data out there, period. Any chance of reliable data was thrown out the window when Federal dollars, ultimately incentives, were given to the medical field. Money driven corruption is then furthering the hysteria & fear, whether that is one of the objectives or not.
@Denmen185 you have spent an incredible amount of time on these numbers.
I'm not questioning the seriousness of covid....and most on here aren't either.
But what is your confidence level that all of the numbers being reported are accurate.?
Do you think the financial incentives could be skewing the numbers?
I have zero confidence the numbers being reported are accurate.
But at the same time.....I respect the effort you have put into this and would respect your answer.
