Coronavirus (Stay on Topic)

I’m starting to really lose faith in the daily death count. Who leads the nation in daily deaths today so far? New Jersey with 71 deaths, they have only reported 93 cases today and have been really low daily positive tests for weeks.

It’s good money for the hospitals. Unfortunately we will never know what the true numbers are and will be.

Fact check: Hospitals get paid more if patients listed as COVID-19, on ventilators

Hospitals are paid more for Medicare patients with COVID-19, but a senator who first said that says he doesn't think the system is being gamed.

Trust Index: Do hospitals get more money from Medicare for COVID-19 patients?

You’ve probably seen the headlines making the social media rounds. Claims that “hospitals get paid more to treat COVID-19 patients” and “is medicare paying hospitals $13,000 for patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and $39,000 for those on ventilators?”

Hi everyone please see below:
All,

Over the past 6 months we have seen a large increase in activity in the non weather related threads. We recognize as the board grows we will slowly transition from just a weather board to a community. With this transition we will be gaining new members with new interests and differing view points. With current global events these differing views and interests become magnified across the community as members express their thoughts, stances, and ideas. This has led us as staff to recognize the need for written guidelines for the board as a whole and independent within threads to ensure the overall climate of the board remains constructive and welcoming. With that being said we want to outline the following general rules:

#1 racist, sexist posts will be immediately deleted and you will be banned from the community
#2 using derogatory terms in posts will be immediately deleted, you will be banned from said thread for 72 hours for the first offense, 120 for the second, permanently for the 3rd.
#3 when you post statistics or something as a fact please cite your source, baseless facts will be subject to deletion.
#4 using the term snowflake, karen, maga to describe someone or a grouping of posters will be subject to deletion. Continual use will subject you to the thread suspensions in point 2.
#5 Drive by 1 liners with the purpose of getting a reaction will subject you to suspensions in point #2
#6 consistently posting the same subject matter over and over or outlandish posts will be deleted. If this continues after deletion you will be subject to suspensions in point #2 will follow.
#7 posts that aren't directly related to the thread will be removed. Obviously there is a lot of crossover at this time between Corona, politics, sports. Please make sure that your placing your post in the correct thread.

Please let me know if you have questions or concerns around any of the outlined points. Our goal isn't to silence you as members it's to make sure that we keep the community as a place folks want to visit as well as keeping the weather side of the board free from carry over issues.
 
Georgia reports 3,420 new cases and 23 new deaths. They report 274 new hospitalizations.

Good bye.
 
We really haven't seen the effect from the 4th of July holiday weekend yet. Anyone who became infected over the holiday weekend is just now beginning to show symptoms. They will be going to get tested in the next few days and with the high number of tests being conducted, the labs are getting over run and falling behind on getting the results back. So if you think the data you're seeing this week is from the holiday weekend... it's not. Those results will begin showing up in another 7-12 days.

Definitely. It'll be anywhere from between now and mid July people will show symptoms of covid from exposure on the 4th. It's only going to get worse until action is taken like closing gyms and bars and or mandating masks.
 
So, Virginia reports 27 deaths to North Carolina’s 9, and MA reports 30 deaths to Georgias 23. Georgia and N. Carolina has seen far, far more cases than the other two states. What is the deal? Is the south fudging the deaths low or claiming way too many positive tests or is the NE states fudging the deaths way high or not testing nearly enough?

This type of thing has been going on weeks. What actually can we believe?
