True. But most aren't willing to actually go out there and protest. Would you do that? Have you ever done that? Hasn't there already been protests? I was just thinking that say everybody just decided to not protest but just open up their business expressing justified civil disobedience. Every gym, restaurant, salon, hair cut shops, small business.... they just couldn't enforce it. When enough people just defy "orders" there's really nothing the government can do. Remember the LA riots? The police just retreated and it was anarchy for nearly two weeks before they get in the National Guard. I was just watching a program where the people of East Germany all just stormed the wall escape that State prison. The guards were overwhelmed and just retreated.

Enough people will do this it's just finding a leader that can organize it. That's not easy.

Unless they know for a fact then shut the fuck up.  Everyone could be a billionaire but we aren't.  the amount of people that are going to die from alcohol and drugs from being locked up will be worse than this fucking Corona bullshit.

Everyone making policy still have their jobs and their paychecks. If the taxpayers aren't getting paid then neither should the government officials who get their income from the tax payers. Believe me, if they weren't able to keep their refrigerators stocked with premium ice-cream things would be very different.

Cali use to be the perfect place to live. Beach, mountains, lakes, skiing, hunting, fishing, jobs, weather... Really the best place to live in the world. So many are locked in with homes and jobs. It's not easy to just uproot and move when you have a family and have to start all over again. I moved there in 1981 and loved it. Weather just as good, actually better than Hawaii because not as much rain.  Cali made Hawaii seem so third world in comparison. Everything was better and more advanced than Hawaii. Average gyms were luxury compared to the islands. Here in Hawaii when something breaks it takes months to get replacement parts. If you want an oil change it's still an all day thing. I couldn't believe in Cali you could get your oil changed and ready to go in less than a half an hour.

It would really piss me off that a virtual paradise on earth was destroyed by the Left. They destroy everything they touch.

We have a huge problem that isn't easy to solve. After governments got involved things changed and restrictions were introduced. Just about everyone accepted this was necessary. As the risk eases what do governments do? Propose there be steps to get back to normal. Well, here is the snag. What government wants to give an order that might result in even one person losing their life? Also, what if that person who loses their life is us, family or someone close to us? This is a no win situation for those who give orders. In addition you have experts in the medical profession giving opinions about possible outcomes of any easing of restrictions. I don't think the world has been in such a delicate situation before. Here in Australia things aren't so bad re the virus but we still can't go around and do what we like. Oh, we can buy food and essentials, exercise and visit here and there but overall we are told to stay home. You see, the government doesn't want to allow travel about the state if that results in the virus being spread to places that were untouched before. I can't see an easy solution here. In the meantime, imagine owning a gym or restaurant or any other business affected by the lockdowns. How are they going to survive a continued shutdown?

I say just ignore it all, let them come arrest you for trying to keep your family fed. Cats out of the bag, the time to stop this virus has passed. They’re trying to convince us it’ll only be over when we get a (((vaccine))). We have a flu vaccine that hardly works, thousands still die every year from it.

COVID-19 is uncharted territory. There's very little comparative history to look at before making decisions. It is a damned if they do and damned if they don't situation. -Just a little scary for anyone in a leadership position.

Covid-19 has turned out to be nothing but a severe flu like disease - and even that depends on your pre-existing conditions. Nothing scary about it. The left is running with it hoping it causes Trump to lose the next election.

Here in South Carolina as of Monday the 18th just about everything will be open again. A lot was never shut down- and of course we lived through it. The scare tactics were worse than the disease. I can't imagine living in NY and putting up with the horseshit Cuomo is pulling. Most of the dead are in nursing homes that HE ORDERED to accept Covid-19 patients.

California is a totally different case. It appears the politicians are testing to see how far they can push people around. So far it's working well for them.

Please forgive my broken record response. In case you failed to notice COVID-19 (a severe flu like disease) is worldwide and not just a problem that's happening in the U.S.

Here are a few things for you to ponder which might help you with your inability or unwillingness to take a worldview about a global problem.

As the novel coronavirus continues to spread, some countries are putting their citizens on various forms lockdown, though that's not a technical term used by public-health officials.

India, France, Italy, and the UK have implemented the world's largest and most restrictive mass quarantines.
A handful of countries, including Spain, Germany, and South Korea have started relaxing lockdown measures. The results have been mixed.

More than 286,835 people have died and over 4,201,921 have been infected by the coronavirus worldwide.

A little over 3 million people die every year worldwide from obesity.

Where is the outcry to sequester fat people away from food ?

The U.S. government sent you home and kept you in the dark so they could transfer $7 TRILLION of debt onto the backs of the middle class. Without President Donald Trump it would have been double that.

You’ve just been duped into the second largest transfer of wealth in history, after the 8 year Obama scam fleeced the middle class of $10 TRILLION.

It will be 10 trillion by the end of the week. Trump has been teflon up to this point but the political posturing on this is simply an unwinnable issue.

This is the globalist/statist nuclear option. We are at the point where the news and the governors of these states are well aware of what they are doing - all done in lockstep with DC power of the purse.

When you are at the point where they are trying to pass mail in ballot and promise 2k checks forever as an obvious vote bribe - what kind of election could this country expect?

Yes Vince what government wants to give an order that even one person loses a life.....

But what about wars? Or abortions? Or the health care system in America where the allegedly turn sick and dying away because of their insurance?

Or what about the black man shot in the street while jogging and no arrests were made until celebrities protested on Twitter.

Or what about China, do they care if one life is lost?

Here in the states you can’t get a hair cut but you can fly from coast to coast without any issue, some areas may ask that you self quarantine. Do you really think this is about saving lives at this point? Or is it about state governments getting into pissing contests over politics?

Read what I wrote. You can FLY anywhere you want in this country, LA will continue the lockdown but someone from New Orleans can fly into LAX? How is that slowing down, never mind stopping, the spread of anything?

The whole goal was to ease the burdens on the hospitals, flatten the curve not eliminate the virus.
It’s been flattened.

We won’t return to “normal” for a few years. Just because things are opened doesn’t mean people will return back to how it was before. 

The big problem is the miscommunication and flat out lying that has taken place. The public doesn’t know what information to trust.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-52641659 (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-52641659)

If they really cared, NYC's DeBlasio and others shouldn't be pushing nursing home residents to endure the importation of youthful Covid patients in their Covid-free units. A Baltimore County nursing home took in at least 5 young Covid patients and none of the established, paying elderly residents were consulted beforehand. And that's the tip of the iceberg.

The elderly are a wedge issue. It's like "but the Kurds! The poor Kurds!" whenever uncaring, manipulative Neocons fear US troops will be pulled out of the middle east.

Please forgive my broken record response. In case you failed to notice COVID-19 (a severe flu like disease) is worldwide and not just a problem that's happening in the U.S.

Here are a few things for you to ponder which might help you with your inability or unwillingness to take a worldview about a global problem.

As the novel coronavirus continues to spread, some countries are putting their citizens on various forms lockdown, though that's not a technical term used by public-health officials.

India, France, Italy, and the UK have implemented the world's largest and most restrictive mass quarantines.
A handful of countries, including Spain, Germany, and South Korea have started relaxing lockdown measures. The results have been mixed.

More than 286,835 people have died and over 4,201,921 have been infected by the coronavirus worldwide.

https://www.businessinsider.com/countries-on-lockdown-coronavirus-italy-2020-3

List of countries locked down


Get off my nuts Prime, lol The disease is greatly exaggerated. I was in Korea during the H1N1 flu and saw the 'mini-lockdown there- even to the point of having a thermal scan at Samsung Semiconductor where I was giving a talk. At the time that was the boogie man the world was afraid of - and it led to nothing. This is no different. The recorded deaths are so inflated as to be meaningless. In my local hospital in Greenville SC my daughter in law, an ICU nurse, told me they are recording Covid-19 as the cause of death for elderly patients even if it isn't. The reimbursements are about 5X greater from Medicare if they do.

As for my "worldview" I'll put my current international experiences up against your house bound self any day. I deal with the whole of Europe in my tech business as well as China/Korea/Japan and Taiwan. The resounding response from the people I talk to there is: This is a pile of bullshit. I spoke with my rep in Beijing two days ago. He told me nothing has changed - just some hotspots in the provinces north of the city and even that is no cause for alarm. So spare me your preaching.

This is all about destroying the economy.  They think this will help them win the White House and both sides of Congress. It really shows how despicable Democrats are. See how many blue states have a pact on the east and west coast to remain closed?  They keep saying like a mantra if it saves one life.

In 1969 the Hong Kong flu was here. It killed roughly one million world wide and about 100,000 in the US. What did we do? we had Woodstock with numbers so huge it's still disputed how many went to that concert.  Covid has a roughly 99% survival rate. Let those who fear, pre existing conditions, and the elderly quarantine. The rest of us need to get back to work. It's amazing the ones that are supporting this work shutdown are the ones getting a government check of some kind like social security, disability, welfare or unemployment.  Those with money in the bank also have no problem with the work shut down. This is a fact. When this work shut down is lifted after the election millions of jobs won't exist to go back to.

Every job is essential if the pay check is taking care of a family or even an individual.

Random thoughts here, not directed at anyone.

Just out of curiosity, is anyone here an actual medical provider working within a hospital, particularly an acute care setting? I mean a Doctor, Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant or RN? If so, what have you seen? I think it's important to get their point of view, as they're the true eyes on the ground that are seeing firsthand the devastating effects this virus is having on people.

From March 1st to May 15th, this virus has killed 86,000+ Americans. That's 2 months and a half. Multiply that mortality rate by 4 to complete a year and total death rate could reach 430,000+. Spanish Influenza of 1918 killed over 675,000 Americans and certainly was the most devastating Pandemic in the last century, infecting over 500 million people worldwide (3rd of the world's population at that time and killed more than 50 million people worldwide). Times were different in 1918. They didn't have access to the medical advances we have today, medications or equipment. They also didn't have the advanced communication tools we have today (they didn't have Televisions, Computers, Internet, Cell Phones etc). We are in a much better place today.

I think we shouldn't underestimate what this virus is. For some to call it a hoax, lie or bullshit is odd.

I think what the government should do is simple. For those that feel so inclined to go back to business as usual immediately, allow them to do so, but have them legally waive their rights to medical care if they become infected by COVID-19. All others, abide by the laws set by the same people YOU voted into office.

I want to go back to work as much as anyone else, but I'm also not trying to die. A fucking gym can wait. It's a petri dish for infections and building some muscle isn't making anyone any money as a result. But this entire situation is very interesting, first pandemic of our time. It's put into perspective what Politician's truly are, how useless social influencers truly are, what's really important for human beings versus what people are made to believe is necessary due to consumer-driven marketing and for many, it's allowed people a chance to reconnect with family and disconnect from the clutter in between that keeps us "busy".

Remember as well, there have been billions pumped into our economy and furthermore swept into the pockets of the largest companies in the USA (you know, the job creators). While I don't agree that printing money is a good idea, as it does make paper money worthless over time, strange how the citizens of the USA got pennies in comparison to these large companies. Politicians are showings their true colors, from Trump all the way down to your local politicians.

  Let’s be real. They say it’s killed 86k. We know they are pumping the numbers. Nursing home with 2,3,4 co morbidities are counted. Hospice patients are counted.

No one said it was a hoax.  The President said the news providers hype was a hoax and even the liberal fact checking spin machines don't dispute that.
 
 My daughter is a  nurse working in intensive care in a hospital at the worst part of the state for the disease in NJ. She said admissions to ICU are way down. They had people in the hall ways on ventilators and that's all gone. Those infected stay the same because the number tested has increased dramatically.  That's why the Blue states scream for increased testing to keep the numbers going when the amount in intensive care admission is way down. Another point is the numbers are faked. Hospitals receive 12K a patient from medicare for Covid. Strong reason to say they died from Covid.

 Don't forget that Cuomo from NY had a 1000 bed floating hospital and a huge hospital set up by the Army corp of engineers in the Javits center was hardly used.  To add to that a Christian group set up a MASH tent hospital ready to go that wasn't used because a Christian group set it up. So many of the deaths in NY was from Cuomo telling nursing homes that those having tested positive must return there. They infected so many that died. He should have sent them to the ship.

 I find it insanity to keep a state closed for a 1k deaths. Sweden never closed and had only slightly higher numbers than surrounding countries. Florida and Georgia are open and have seen a  covid drop.

  Outside of a vaccine quarantining isn't helping with herd immunity. The overwhelming amount of people dying are the elderly and those with pre existing conditions. How many kids have died from it?  How many under 60 years old? If anyone is scared of catching it the solution is simple. Don't work and stay home. Destroying the economy is clearly for political ambition. Trump had the greatest economy in 50 years and it was improving.

If a 70 year old grandma can work checking groceries at my super market 40 hours a week we can all get to work. All jobs are essential if they take care of a family. People are running out of savings to buy food. This temporary unemployment amount giving people nearly a $1000 a week will make people refuse to go back to work.

One last point roughly 60k to 80K die every year in the US with the upper respiratory infections of the common flu and pneumonia. Mainly elderly and those with pre existing conditions. No one shuts the economy down. The question is would millions die in the US if we didn't have the shut down? Judging by Sweden per 100K deaths I have a question about that prediction.

500,000 people die in the UK every year from all causes .

Covid isnt killing all the people, Covid is being added to every persons death certificate.

In the UK 10,000 peopel die every month in care homes, thats without Covid19

People die all the time, sure, covid is killing some people who are already circling the drain, once those are gone you will find the death toll starts falling very quickly, I will wager at the end of the year the overall death toll is similar to previous years, covid is killing people who would most likely have died this year anyway.

I get what you're trying to say, but those are the numbers reported by the CDC and WHO, that get their numbers from all the major hospitals throughout the USA. This is information that even when Trump was questioned about, he wholeheartedly agreed that he believes in the numbers as reported by the CDC. If we start to make assumptions regarding the numbers being false, then we are simply adding our own spin to it. By that token, why believe any of the credible sources we have within Healthcare and the government regarding any data that is provided to us regarding healthcare related matters? I also don't want to jump into the world of conspiracy theories either here, I am sticking to the numbers and facts as provided to us by credible US healthcare-related sources.

I get that there is more than meets the eye to the story. There are rumors suggesting that hospitals throughout the USA have to pump up the figures they report to the CDC, given that the larger the figures the more money that's allocated to these hospitals for financial recovery purposes. But again, these are merely rumors and we can't go by rumors when dealing with the well-being of Americans.

Again, I just think that we need to be fair in accepting what we do know of this virus, respecting the devastating effects it has proven to have and allowing for a government to do the best they can in assisting us with this matter. I never said the government is perfect, far from it I believe that it's a broken system, but it's a system we've entrusted our Lives to for centuries now.

I can respect your stance on being incredulous to what's being reported and simply hope that we get past this sooner rather than later.

So you are implying that hospitals throughout the USA are all in on a scam to rip off the US government by faking the number of deaths that are reported as covid-19 deaths in order to squeeze out money from the US government? Literally, the hospitals are frankly lying and fraudulently reporting deaths as covid-19 related in order to steal funding from the government? Those are very big claims my friend. Do you have actual proof that this is in fact happening throughout major hospitals in the USA?

Second, destroying the economy and doing it for political ambition? Why would any Governor want to purposely destroy its state economy? We've seen what occurs in places like Detroit, Michigan and it's a barren Wasteland, we're people in severe poverty have resorted to violent crimes in order to survive. Governors that do this to their states end up losing elections and furthermore get removed. None of this is attributable to Trump, as he does not have the right to close any states, as those states can only be closed by the governors. Maybe I'm just not getting why anyone would assume that destroying the economy would lead to any sort of self-fulfilling political ambition. It doesn't help anyone on either sides of Capitol Hill.

Have a friend who is an RN in a big hospital downtown.  He told me the same thing... almost all the dead bodies are being toe-tagged as Covid. 

You seem a bit naive.  Hospitals are in business to make money.  They don't really care if people die as long as they get paid.

Here is the government guidance for establishing cause of death in the UK
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/877302/guidance-for-doctors-completing-medical-certificates-of-cause-of-death-covid-19.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3IYRlsKFpzHj4EW7G59fDVm3o_uYOsToQch6nuYNnIh4GMaFnirRfzJT8

HERE IS THE RELEVANT SECTION
For example, if before death the patient had symptoms typical of COVID- 19 infection, but the test result has not been received, it would be satisfactory to give ‘COVID-19’ as the cause of death, tick Box B and then share the test result when it becomes available. In the circumstances of there being no swab, it is satisfactory to apply clinical judgement.

Have a friend who is an RN in a big hospital downtown.  He told me the same thing... almost all the dead bodies are being toe-tagged as Covid. 

You seem a bit naive.  Hospitals are in business to make money.  They don't really care if people die as long as they get paid.

Sounds credible. Everyone has a friend on the inside and hospital's are a business that don't care if people die, as long as they make money.

I guess, I am naive. But yet no one has been able to post or provide a credible source short of hearsay or rumors.

How did this thing become a Democrat vs Republican issue? I will answer, since Democrats weaponized this disease to hurt Trump's chance of reelection. 



Can't open till we flatten the curve.

Can't open until we know the hospitals won't be over run. Admissions to intensive care is down.

Can't open till we have a vaccine.

Can't open till we have multiple vaccines for the multiple strains that are coming.

Can't open till we have a cure.

Can't open till Biden wins the White House and both sides of Congress.

Here is the government guidance for establishing cause of death in the UK
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/877302/guidance-for-doctors-completing-medical-certificates-of-cause-of-death-covid-19.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3IYRlsKFpzHj4EW7G59fDVm3o_uYOsToQch6nuYNnIh4GMaFnirRfzJT8

HERE IS THE RELEVANT SECTION
For example, if before death the patient had symptoms typical of COVID- 19 infection, but the test result has not been received, it would be satisfactory to give ‘COVID-19’ as the cause of death, tick Box B and then share the test result when it becomes available. In the circumstances of there being no swab, it is satisfactory to apply clinical judgement.

I took a look at that on page 3/17 and it read like this:

Quote
3. Referring deaths to the coroner 
 
• Covid-19 is an acceptable direct or underlying cause of death for the purposes of completing the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death

• Covid-19 is not a reason on its own to refer a death to a coroner under the Coroners and Justice Act 2009.
 

• That Covid-19 is a notifiable disease under the Health Protection (Notification) Regulations 2010 does not mean referral to a coroner is required by virtue of its notifiable status. 

Medical practitioners are required to certify causes of death “to the best of their knowledge and belief”. Without diagnostic proof, if appropriate and to avoid delay, medical practitioners can circle ‘2’ in the MCCD (“information from post-mortem may be available later”) or tick Box B on the reverse of the MCCD for ante-mortem investigations. For example, if before death the patient had symptoms typical of COVID-19 infection, but the test result has not been received, it would be satisfactory to give ‘COVID-19’ as the cause of death, tick Box B and then share the test result when it becomes available.  In the circumstances of there being no swab, it is satisfactory to apply clinical judgement.

In short, what I gathered from that is that you can use covid-19 as an acceptable direct or underlying cause of death for the purpose of filling out the certificate of death. It didn't suggest that covid-19 can be or is being added as a diagnosis/cause of death to everyone's death certificate.

Moreover, it stated that if someone had all the typical symptoms of covid-19 infection but if test results had not been received it would be satisfactory to give covid-19 as a cause of death AND then share the test result when it becomes available. Common things being common, it is fair to attribute the disease process to a patient's death when all the symptoms line up according to what the disease typically presents as, especially when you do not have a test result on hand at the time of death. Now my question is, does the totality of covid-19 deaths get updated once the test results do in fact come back and reflect that it was either directly or not even caused by covid-19?

it also says if there is no swab it doesn't matter, they use clinical judgement the symptoms of Covid are exactly the same as influenza, Pneumonia, and a host of other life threatening illnesses.


Star=ngely enough the deaths from Influenza dramatically reduced just as Covid 19 reared its head..


And a shocking statistic that to me seems totally unbelievable is the influenza deaths last year
Here are the yearly figures

apparently there was only 1,692 deaths from flu las flu season, just compare that to previous flu seasons.

Yet not one report in the media last year of how well we had done and how much the flu vaccine had helped reduce the death toll
(https://i.ibb.co/QKRnkKh/Screenshot-2020-05-09-at-20-36-43.png)


and these were taken from two separate yearly reports from the same government website, oddly enough they cant seem to remember what they put from one year to the next

A couple of things.

The doctor is a family physician, you do know that family physicians practice primarily and mostly in outpatient clinics, right? They're not inpatient clinicians and their training is not one that lends itself to that kind of setting or acuity level. In rare cases, particularly very rural areas, they make exceptions and place them in hospitals, but it is certainly not the norm nor are they expected to perform any critical care medicine. Not sure I would hang my hat on what this guy is saying based particularly on his credentials, given that the patients that are dying in hospitals are not patients that he has direct access to or would even be needed to fill out death certificates for. When I say I would like to hear the opinions of medical providers in the acute care setting, I mean working in the hospitals within acute care settings like the emergency department and/or ICUs.

I also don't see where they are doing anything inappropriate by writing presumed or probable cause of death. Medicine is in fact not a perfect science and I think we all know and respect this, so specificity while ideal in causes of death isn't always attained.

I also don't think Fauci is perfect or infallible. I think most doctors were slightly clueless when this first hit our shores. That said, I would certainly trust doctor Fauci who leads pretty much all of the Infectious Disease studies in this country and is an author on practically all of the medical school Bibles (think of Harrisons Internal Medicine - practically the textbook that all medical students must have and use throughout med school) over this guy who is simply a family medicine doctor (there's levels to this shit and in the world of medicine they are literally the lowest on the scale and relegated to outpatient work).

Nonetheless, I appreciate you posting the link to that video that gives us better Insight as to what some medical providers, even if on the outside, are thinking regarding the overall coronavirus pandemic.

FFS man, I give up.  You're either completely dense, or playing devil's advocate. 

You want to hear from workers in the acute settings?  I know a nurse, in a large metro hospital.  She said originally the hospital dedicated an entire floor, in preparation for the flood of patients they were expecting.  It never happened.  They have since disbanded the Covid floor, and resumed business as usual.

Would you believe a coroner?  The person who signs the death certificate? 

CORTEZ, Colo. (CBS4) – When police in Cortez, Colorado were called to Cortez City Park early on the morning of May 4, they found Sebastian Yellow, 35, lying on the ground and called it out as a code “Frank,” meaning Yellow had died, according to a police report obtained by CBS4.

Within a week, local Montezuma County Coroner George Deavers determined Yellow had died of acute alcohol poisoning, his blood alcohol measured at .55, nearly twice the lethal limit.

“It was almost double what the minimum lethal amount was in the state”, said Deavers, during an interview with CBS4.

But Deavers said that before he even signed the death certificate, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment had already categorized Yellow’s death as being due to COVID-19 and it was tabulated that way on the state’s website.

“I can see no reason for this”, said Deavers.

Yellow’s death is the latest in Colorado raising eyebrows over the way the CDPHE is reclassifying deaths that runs contrary to what doctors and coroners initially ruled.

Last month, a CBS4 Investigation revealed the state health department reclassified three deaths at a Centennial nursing home as COVID-19 deaths, despite the fact attending physicians ruled all three were not related to coronavirus.

In each case, the residents had tested positive for COVID-19, but in each case, on-scene doctors ruled the deaths were not related to the virus. Still, in their official tally, the state increased the number of coronavirus deaths at the Someren Glen facility from four to seven, based on the disputed deaths.

On Thursday, state Rep. Mark Baisley, a Republican representing Douglas and Teller Counties, wrote a letter to District Attorney George Brauchler of the 18th Judicial District, asking for a criminal investigation into the reclassification of the Someren Glen deaths and criminal charges against Jill Ryan, the director of the state health department. Baisley wrote that what occurred was “deliberate acts of certificate falsification” and said Baisley, ”I believe these acts of falsely altering death certificates to be criminal acts of tremendous concern to you and my constituents. I hereby request that you investigate this matter with the intent of bringing criminal charges against Jill Ryan.”

Now Montezuma County Coroner George Deavers finds himself in a similar situation in southwestern Colorado, officially ruling Yellow’s death as “ethanol toxicity” but seeing the state record it differently.

“They should have to be recording the same way I do. They have to go off the truth and facts and list it as such,” said Deavers.

He said following Yellow’s death, the man was tested for COVID-19 since he had been associating with someone who was positive for the virus, and the information can be useful in tracking the path of the virus. Deavers said that test on Yellow came back positive, but the coroner insists that had nothing to do with Yellow’s death. In fact, Deavers says a secondary cause was cirrohsis of the liver.

“It wasn’t COVID, it was alcohol toxicity,” said Deavers.”Yes, he did have COVID but that is not what took his life.”

Deavers said he has been calling officials at the CDPHE this week to understand why they classified Yellow’s death as related to the virus, but he said as of Thursday morning, he had not yet received an explanation. He said in Cortez, citizens are wondering what’s going on.

“They’re thinking the state is trying to inflate numbers which it does look like it, whether they are or not, I don’t know,” said Deavers. He said some have suggested, “They’re trying to make it look like its worse than it really is, I don’t know if that’s what their intentions are. Maybe they’re trying to do it for some of the two trillion budgeted in for the COVID.”

However some statisticians, epidemiologists and medical experts, like Dr. Anthony Fauci, have suggested that COVID-19 deaths are likely being undercounted, not over counted. Fauci testified this week before the Senate and was asked if 80,000 deaths from COVID was accurate.

“Most of us feel that the number of deaths are likely higher than that number,” said Fauci. He told the Senate, “I don’t know exactly what percent higher, but almost certainly it’s higher.”

CBS4 contacted the state health department Thursday requesting an explanation for how Yellow’s death was categorized. No immediate explanation was given. But in the case of the Someren Glen deaths, a CDPHE spokesperson said, “The department follows the CDC’s case definition of COVID-19 cases and deaths… When a person with a lab-confirmed case of COVID-19 dies, their death is automatically counted as a COVID-19 death unless there is another cause that completely rules out COVID-19 such as a fatal physical injury.”

Regardless, in Cortez, Deavers says the death of Sebastian Yellow and how the state is handling it is proving problematic. The county has recorded 25 coronavirus cases but 13 of those have recovered, so there are just a dozen active cases, and before Sebastian Yellow, two deaths.

The county applied May 4 for a variance from the statewide safer-at-home public health order to allow restaurants, retail establishments and other businesses to reopen. In its application the county cited its low number of coronavirus cases, but the CDPHE denied that request. The state health department said, “Our reviewers have some concerns about vulnerabilities in Montezuma County and want to monitor the situation before further considering a variance.”

Deavers said, “We have a low number of cases, low number of deaths in our county and we have businesses here that possibly are not going to reopen. Apparently this specific case was what helped them deny letting the variance go through.”

The state health department cited the number of coronavirus cases but other factors as well, including high death and infection rates in adjacent counties in New Mexico. In a letter to Montezuma County, CDPHE said it was concerned with increasing local cases and the situation in New Mexico which could cause problems for the health care system in Montezuma county.

CDPHE responded with this statement: We classify a death as confirmed when there was a case who had a positive SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) laboratory test and then died. We also classify some deaths as probable. You can find the full criteria for that on our website under “About our Data,” but the gist is that there must be strong epidemiological evidence of COVID-19 such as a combination of close contact with a confirmed case and symptoms of COVID-19. We will also count a death as a COVID-19 death when there is no known positive laboratory test but the death certificate lists “COVID-19” as a cause of death.

I don't think there is anything dense about what I suggested. You wouldn't ask a psychiatrist to give you advice about a growth on your spine, because he isn't a neurosurgeon and isn't trained to handle those kind of things. Likewise, you wouldn't ask a family medicine physician, who isn't trained to perform within the hospital and is not found within an inpatient setting to comment on a disease process that is being directly treated and managed within hospitals and more particularly in the ICUs.

When you seek to have expert opinions, it's generally helpful to bring in an actual expert.

Yes that doesn't make sense at all. Hair salons could operate by appointment only to limit the number of people that visit. Meanwhile people are standing in line at Costco increasing their chances of getting infected.

Everyone making policy still have their jobs and their paychecks. If the taxpayers aren't getting paid then neither should the government officials who get their income from the tax payers. Believe me, if they weren't able to keep their refrigerators stocked with premium ice-cream things would be very different.
Yep I agree none of them should get paid. Just because they are elected officials doesn't mean they can do whatever they want!

My Question:

Do you have any ethical issues knowing that they are faking the numbers and saying they all died from Covid when it was really caused by something else?  Do you ever feel like we're all just cash-cows for this healthcare scam-system?

His answer:

Yes, I definitely have a problem with it, but I’m not in a position to expose them at some media outlet, not that anyone would listen anyway... and I’m not in a financial position to just leave the hospital because of what they’re doing.  Like so many people here I have to sit and take it, but at least I can spread the word from the grassroots part of it that it’s completely fake. Maybe one out of 30 is actually directly related to Covid

But do you have credible evidence for this from a reliable source? Evidence to suggest that covid-19 was being added to every person's death certificate, regardless of covid-19 being involved in the death or not? Evidence that clearly suggests that the cause of death was covid-19 that they were suffering from versus some other underlying condition?

Good question. I was going to ask it myself.

Everything I've read and heard suggests that COVID-19 must be considered the primary cause of someone's death to become part of the statistics reported. If anything because some people have died at home, COVID-19 deaths are likely under reported. One thing that seems obvious is considering the shortage of tests, a whole lot of people who have COVID-19 but are asymptomatic, don't know they have it. Chances are the number of infected people is considerably higher than what has been reported.

Science and the medical profession believe that COVID-19 affects much more than our respiratory system. It is suspected of causing a variety of organ failures.

You (like most people who watch the MSM) are acting as though it's an instant death sentence if you get it... it's not.

Dude, a couple hospitals in San Diego county have had to furlough because they never had the COVID rush they wanted and have turned away people who needed to see doctors for other reasons.  Now they're losing a shit load of money and complaining about it.  Such a fucking disaster.

OK OK. Interesting. I shall ask those in the business.

Depends what unit you work on. If your in icu with all people in critical condition. Yes it sucks.  But mostly the other units that would typically have a 90% census are being held empty by state order. And there’s not much for those nurses to do

Some 90 year old with lung cancer dies on day 13 and they call it Covid and it resets.  Until there’s a vaccine that’s an impossible ask.

Linsay Graham, the owner of a beauty salon in Salem, OR opened her business on May 5th despite the governor's stay-at-home directive. She has been fined $14,000  and is facing additional fines if she continues to keep the business open. The salon is in Marion, County which has the greatest number of COVID-19 cases in the state. If it were a stand alone business, like a furniture store, it would be allowed to open, but because it is a beauty salon, it is not. Clearly, the shop owner is being made an example of because when she opened, it was all over the media.

My guess is the future such incidences will be ignored. The governor's reopening plan is so complicated that it is next to impossible to know what you can and cannot do. For example stand alone businesses all over the state can open, but malls and shopping centers whether indoors or out, cannot. Some types of businesses are not yet able to open unless they are in a county where it has been approved. Gyms are an example of this. All of the different gyms I can go to are in the Portland Metro area and are therefore not yet allowed to open.

The reopening of these counties and businesses can be revoked if the number of COVID-19 cases increases dramatically. Folks living in the Portland metro areas are advised to not travel outside the are to, for example, get a haircut. Ikea is a stand alone store which is allowed to reopen, but they closed prior to it being required and have elected to delay opening. As of today, no reopening timeline has been announced.

If she takes this to court, it will likely cost her more than $14,000. If she wins, she'll prove a point. If she loses, she'll be out $14,000 plus whatever she has to pay an attorney plus court costs. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

I’m a nurse in a San Diego hospital and had half of my shifts CUT in April bc the hospital was a ghost town
We have never had more than 5-10 covids at a time

I’m a nurse in a San Diego hospital and had half of my shifts CUT in April bc the hospital was a ghost town
We have never had more than 5-10 covids at a time
I began paperwork for unemployment but thank god ppl in San Diego are getting tired of restrictions and finally coming to hospitals again
Think it’s still time to keep America closed???

If San Diego represented all of America, probably not. Anyway, most states are gradually reopening, including California.

Politicians with their God like "orders" have forgotten that this is a Country run by the people. Americans have shown care and concern for the small percentage of sick and elderly at risk of death, and rather than receiving the respect we deserve, we get more orders and warnings.

This ends when Americans say it ends, unless our rulers plan on arresting 330,000,0000 million people.

Los Angeles County officials are the worst - trying to extend this lockdown as long as they can.... unreal... even San Diego is opening May 22nd, it looks like... these idiots are pushing for July 4th now...

They won't be happy until unemployment in Los Angeles reached 25% and business shut down for good.   Sadly, many people will be going shopping, eating out and enjoying places outside of LA County because of these idiots.  Soon, they will cry that they are out of money for schools, and everything else so they will need to raise taxes asap.  These guys have to go.

Interesting statement, considering that I know many Jews, myself included, that are NOT liberal at all.  In fact, over 30% of Jews are not.  But alas, 2/3's are.  But many younger Jews are evening it out.

As for Los Angeles County, the idiots are still not letting people go anywhere, except for curbside, BUT the county, after a ton of pressure is looking to open some cities in the county instead of punishing everyone (10 million people) in the county. For instance, Santa Clarita, Woodland Hills, West Hills should of opened a while ago, yet tied into a hotspot 40 miles away.

As for Ventura County, they opened this past Wednesday, so many people from Los Angeles County will be headed there to eat at restaurants, hurting LA business even more

The Jewish side of my family and even some of the Catholics are overwhelmingly libtards.  I pointed out to them that President Trump supports Israel and that Jerusalem is now the recognized by the U.S. as the capitol of Israel and still the grovel at the alter of evil.

My family can be such retards.

Oregon is opening up by county. Clackamas County, where I live is opening phase I today. There have been 290 reported COVID-19 cases in Clackamas County. West Linn, the city I live in has had 1-9 reported cases of COVID-19 (which could mean we've had 0 cases based on the reporting system. Wilsonville which is one town away to the south has had 12 reported cases. The city of Clackamas which is 5 miles away has had 16 cases.

You live in Woodland Hills which is 40 miles from the hot spot.  But, isn't it important to know how many reported cases there are in Van Nuys or even Tarzanna since people from these cities may very likely shop in Woodland Hills, if their city is still shut down. L.A. County has had 43,052 cases. It is conceivable that people from all over L.A. county will flock to those cities which are open to shop?

If people would practice social distancing as suggested, particularly by wearing masks when in public. It should control the spread of the virus. Yet people, including Trump refuse to wear a mask to protect others from transmission of the disease. Wearing a mask is a damn nuisance, but if wearing them allows the country to reopen more quickly, I'm all in.

Where we are, 95% of the people wear masks, since you can't go into a store without it.  We also know that close to 50% of the deaths came from nursing homes.  We also know based on a UCLA study that they figure the number is close to 360,000 people in Los Angeles County have had the virus, 60% which display NO symptoms (like a minor cold), and 98% are mild of those that have been tested. 

So we went to Thousand Oaks today. But it is not funny that in Westlake, which is a divided city between the two counties, one restaurant can open across the street, while another a block away has to stay closed, because of Los Angeles County rules.  As I have been saying all along, let EVERYONE open, and concentrate on the hotspots , targeting those.

As I understand it, the way you catch the coronavirus over 99% of the time is not from breathing it or touching a surface with virus is through your hands touching your mouth, nose, or eyes. If you never dig your nose, put your hands in your mouth, rub your eyes without washing your hands there is an over 99% chance you will never catch the virus. I think someone infected has to literally cough right into your face for you to breathe it in. And, in the event you get it, there is an over 99% chance, that after a couple of weeks you will be fine. Just like if you got the flu, in which we do have a vaccine which most people don't get because they just aren't that worried about catching the flu.

We will look back on all this as one huge colossal mistake by shutting down the country and putting so many people out of business and making a living and the debt incurred by our country.

If there is one lesson which should take from all this is Fuck the Chinese. Pay the extra dollars and boycott that totalitarian, evil, Communist regime that has been screwing us for decades. And vote for Trump. He's the only guy ever that has the balls to stand up to the Chinese.

They are afraid to do anything because they might be sent to jail and lose their gains or get fined and lose the resources to pay for their gains. Like many said they just keep pumping in the gym to hold on to the gains so they can intimidate more people resulting in peacefully resolving conflicts which would otherwise turn into a bloodbath.

France? Do you know that their country has one of highest amounts of military victories in world history? In the Napoleonic wars it was them against the whole of Europe. In World War I, it was them and Britain fighting most of the war, the US arrived at the end when it was almost all over.

Immediately after World War II they fought to keep their colonies even though much of their country was destroyed. Despite the US 'prohibiting' France from controlling Indo-China after the war. The result of this short-sighted lack of support led to the Vietnam War. If the US had stood with France, there would not have been a North Vietnam.

The reason why the US tried to force Britain and France to abandon their colonies was to weaken them.

Except I have a choice to wear a mask or not. In Oregon, wearings masks is advised not mandated. Some individual businesses require them and that's them exercising their rights.

A successful reopening depends on the number of new cases of COVID-19 don't radically increase. If wearing masks accomplishes this, then I have no problem choosing to do so.

Looks like Newsom decided to let stores and restaurants open in California, in a press conference, a day before a judge was supposed to be ruling on one of the cases. Newson didn't want his action to be called unlawful like other cases have been.

BUT, in Los Angeles County, we still have to deal with the County Health person who doesn't give a crap about small business. Let's see how long before they open up (Ventura County, San Bernardino County is open - I think)
