Covid numbers vs deaths, interesting..........

And probably fuelled by poverty. Which is a very significant factor when considering the effectiveness of a countrys reaction to Covid.

I heard that US hospitals get $3300 for each covid death. One woman said her son died of motorcycle accident massive head injury . Cause of death covid.

Any thing to make Trump look bad

That doesn't make sense ... that would mean the US deaths would be double the Canadian deaths ... it's the other way around.

I believe the real reason is the US is testing like crazy, and they are reporting the true infection amount. Whereas Canada had a REALLY SLOW start (remember Ontario was only testing like 1000 people a day in the beginning?), and so the number of COVID cases in Canada is much higher than what we reported (many people had it but were not diagnosed).

It was stated in an article I read that Canada is about 4 to 5 times higher than the original count.

Cant rule out the possibility of the December bug being covid that has never really been talked about. From my experience I maybe a long hauler my symptoms persisted for months. I went to the hospital on the 16th of December I still felt it the beginning of March. I found some photos from 7th of December of the kids snowmobiling I was to sick to even care for a sled ride I didn't have the power to even get on the sled never mind ride it. I love the first snowfall and I should of been all over the sleds they are new and fast on fresh snow lol. It messed up my first ice time and I never miss these opportunities.

Ps I dont ever go to the hospital unless I may die or bleed to death [emoji1787]. Anything under 3 or 4 stitches can be fixed from home [emoji106]

Yup, I know a few people that were pretty sick in Jan ... my son was ... he was wiped out. Didn't go to the hospital ... but was it COVID. He was tested a month ago because he freaked out due to a sneeze that was persistent ... he was negative ... but I don't think that means he didn't have it in Jan and is now immune.

In the US,government funding is predicated on the number of tests being done.....more tests=more funding. That's the way their system works. Without positive results,tests are deemed to be not needed which leads to a decrease in funding. It's not rocket science to figure out that negative tests cause loss of funding,therefore,there's a tremendous impetus to make sure there's lots of positive tests. It's also not rocket science to understand how numbers will get "fudged" to further an agenda,but,no matter what,it always comes back to the money. It's the American way. That,too,is how the system works. People aren't stupid and can figure this out themselves. Is it really any wonder why people aren't trusting the stats?
