Nothing. Just yesterday though other folks here were claiming all the things I mention and more. They disagree. I know it's not nice to laugh and point at the developmentally challenged, but when they claim the Government is paying Hospitals to intentionally put as many people as possible on ventilators... and then the article you cited comes out and refutes that is going on, well...

I work and consult to hospitals across the nation. I can say from personal experience that hospitals are definitely incentivized to aggressively treat COVID patients, and sometimes to the point of overtreatment. Does that include vents, more than likely not, but delivering care in a wildly non-uniform and non evidenced based ways based on potential reimbursement?

Definitely.

If this was 1415, at Agincourt, France, and I were a newly minted knight errant trying to find a "passage of arms" to prove my grit, I still ain't going up against the English. Let the gullible old romantic idiots who think that chivalry is "invincible" go up against Henry V's archers. I'll be sitting at some nice shady villa somewhere out of the way of the fighting, sipping Burgundian wine and possibly inquiring to some traveling eastern merchants about where I can get some "thunder lances" and the "powdered fire" that they are fueled by...

I love your historical posts especially concerning warfare, think I've said this before. If you ever find yourself in MN look me up and I will feed you all the alcohol and food you want if you promise to nerd out on ancient warfare. Cheers
 
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse…..They are talking about hillary clinton running for president again.

Call me a misogynist or any other blasted “ist” you want, but she needs to stay home and take care of her husband. “For better or worse, for poorer or richer, for sickness or health”…That’s the marriage vows, and one of the main reasons for marriage. Taking care of the spouse when illness befalls them. Love him or hate him, Former President William Jefferson Clinton, is not in good health.

About 75% of this city's true potential is untapped because of the idiot leftists in charge, if I were to estimate...

Putting people on ventalators en mass... what you article that you posted was about.

Please re-read my prior post. I do not think putting non-medically indicated cases on vents is the primary, or really a method at all, for hospitals to over-treat these particular patient populations. There are other ways to inflate charges to bolster a hospital's revenue cycle.
 
well the same folks brought you #russiagate, and #opioidcrisis, so what did you expect?

How come no one has brought a lawsuit up against the FED for this shit? The GOV allowed Gain Of Function research using our money which led to this. Every state should file one.

Oh wait...the courts are corrupt as well.

Ha! Brooklyn is nuts, I had a friend that used to live there I don't know how you do it man. But I do remember some great restaurants and hanging out at the Brooklyn Brewery. (many many years ago)

Take care of her husband? All she knows how to do is pour him a scotch if that.
 

A Johns Hopkins study? :ROFLMAO: Any knuckledragger with an internet connection can go to the CDC website and download the annual reports and get all that in seconds. I do it every year along with crime stats. In that data you can see deaths from all causes. It doesn't take a "Johns Hopkins study", it takes 5 minutes on the interwebs.

Ahhhh, now that you have clearly stated the mistruth we can take it apart. Using your own figure from the CDC you think support your argument. First off, we have the 5% you acknowledge died from just Covid. As for the rest, In 91% of all deaths that mention COVID-19, COVID-19 is listed as the underlying cause of death.

42.4% of Americans are obese. Did the 41,520 people who had Covid on their death certificate as well as Obesity really die from being Fat and not really from Covid? Did they lie in bed for two weeks getting fatter and then just fucking explode? They died with Covid and not from it?

That's just one comorbidity.

Studies of Chest radiographs revealed the development of pneumonia in 26.8% of mild COVID-19 patients. Imagine what the percentage was in cases severe enough cause death? The CDC chart you referenced has 407,091 died with the comorbidity of Pneumonia.

50,000 people in an average year die with Pneumonia.

322,000 Covid-19 deaths have respiratory failure also listed on the death certificate. Respiratory failure is known to be caused by Covid-19.

Sepsis? Did 81,555 American die of sepsis out of nowhere and just also happen to have Covid? But they didn't die of Covid? Please.

How about the 7% of Americans that already have Coronary Heart Disease...

Your argument doesn't hold water. Yes, I'm sure that somewhere someone died in a car accident and the covid test came back positive and that's what went on the death certificate. But over 800,000 times? GTFO.
So you are saying that, for example 81,555 sepsis deaths were due to covid? What the number is too high?
How many died of sepsis say in 2015?
 
But, but, but...I've been assured by a now mostly former buddy who still consults for USN that China may be testing these, but that doesn't mean they will work.

Uhhh, PULL HEAD OUT OF ASS MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They work!!!
IMO Russia/India will have an operational one before anyone else..

The Brahmos 1 has already been out for a while though it ain’t technically “hypersonic”, still pretty impressive. The trick is getting a working scramjet engine - ie not having to slow the incoming air down to subsonic velocities. Otherwise America and Russia have had “hypersonic missiles” for over 50 years… an ICBM does ~Mach 25. We could have a hypersonic cruise missile right now simply using rocket motors, but it wouldn’t have the range of a scramjet and/or would have to be quite large(to carry the amount of fuel necessary.)

Not disagreeing with you, but I was stating what one would/should expect of a spouse, particularly a spouse of a former head of state. Her problem is she is a plain asshole. (And as far as a political leader, parhaps the most incompetent, ignorant, selfish, greedy individual who has ever been in public service.) (and I forgot, Meanest)
 
I’ll be honest. I’ve been a little to busy to pay attention to what is going on over there but I’d be inclined to believe this over other media reports.

It might be "total chaos" there for the time being but if any of the new ad hoc rebel leaders have an understanding of the history of the American frontier and the western territories from 1836-1865, especially the Republic of Texas, they can implement a system identical to that of the Territories right after they were settled and before ratification to statehood was even considered, and have a functioning town hall style government, justice system, energy/utilities/communication, postal service, and transport infrastructure ready to go. Plus they still have control over the mines and petroleum drill sites and their production/output.

ETA: Russia might not be agreeable with this, but at this point, Russia to them is exactly like Mexico was to the newly created Republic of Texas in 1836. The men over there who are holding rifles and guns have EARNED their right to bear these arms because they had taken them from the cold dead hands of the police and soldiers who tried to oppress them.

Imagine being the wife of a horn-dog who boned any piece of strange that came along, but sticking with him to glom onto any bit of power that fell from his robes.
Then you get your shot at the title. Every media outlet says you're a shoo-in.
Only to get trounced by a reality TV star, land developer.

That's gotta sting.
