"THE FACTS: No, the virus death count has not been overstated because of doctors lying to get more money. No evidence has emerged of such systemic fraud."
Haha why? Because you say so? Medicare pays about $8000 more for a Covid case, more if a ventilator is used. Articles I've read say there's been no public reports of misreporting Covid cases, but there are MANY anecdotal accounts of fraud discussed in social media forums. How much of your life savings would you stake that all those personal accounts of greed are false? Not very much I'd wager.
You seem eagerly willing to publicly post questionable information to suit your narrative no matter the cost to your reputation--and believe me, your political reputation is scant. To paraphrase George Orwell: "...man of paralyzing stupidity, a mass of imbecile enthusiasm—one of those completely unquestioning, devoted drudges on whom, more even than on the Thought Police, the stability of the Party depended."

From the Gaslighter in Chief:

TRUMP: “You know, our doctors get more money if somebody dies from COVID. You know that right? I mean, our doctors are very smart people. So what they do is they say, ‘I’m sorry, but, you know, everybody dies of COVID.’” — rally Friday in Waterford Township, Michigan.

THE FACTS: No, the virus death count has not been overstated because of doctors lying to get more money. No evidence has emerged of such systemic fraud.

Almost 230,000 deaths from COVID-19 have been confirmed as of Saturday. The true number is almost certainly higher by a considerable margin.

As of Oct. 3, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention counted 299,000 more U.S. deaths than would be expected in a normal year. Some of those deaths are sure to have been from COVID-19 — how many cannot be known.
Your facts are so off its embarrassing... The labeling of Covid deaths to get more money has been proven time and time again. You really need to find a new site for news.

The Democrats can get the media outlets to say the Holocaust was fake right now, you and millions of other so called educated people would believe it..

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - a well known paper in a key battleground state - came out on Sunday morning and announced their endorsement of President Donald Trump. It's the first Republican the paper has endorsed for President since 1972 - nearly fifty years ago.

How about systemic fraud mandated by government? Until about a month ago, the official Oregon policy was:
We consider Covid deaths to be:
Deaths in which a patient hospitalized for any reason within 14 days of a positive
Covid test result dies in the hospital or within the 60 days following discharge.

When asked if somebody killed in a traffic accident would be counted as a covid death, the official response was:
“It would be,” ....“But I must go back to the point about how we used this data, which is to help us track how Covid is spread in the community.”
He added that the state follows the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for reporting deaths.


My translation: Yes we intentionally overstate the death count but it's for a greater good, and that's what the CDC wants us to do anyway..

If you don't see this policy as overstating the covid death count, I won't bother to convince you. This info is from an article about a family contesting a cancer death being counted as covid.
Oregon officials explain how they tie a death to Covid, varying from other states | Salem Reporter
Here's another on with more details of the overcounting policy:
COVID-19 Deaths Reported in Oregon Include Those Who Didn’t Die from The Virus
And one about Washington state doing the same thing:
WA Dept. of Health to stop counting deaths improperly attributed to COVID-19

Too bad they didn't do it a couple of weeks ago...

This is important news, Trumps Presidential Executive Order is changing the H1B / L1 game which many large US companies have used to replace white collar skilled Americans with cheaper imported labor.


The mainstream news does not seem to cover this, this is important in helping US white collar workers - especially tech workers - employed.


Trump signs executive order against hiring H1B visa holders for federal contracts

It's about time, there are plenty of talented citizens in the US; there is no need to be importing people from other countries. For the last 15 or so years, there has been heavy emphasis on STEM in schools. This will give US citizens more opportunities now
