So we should just say oh well, here's another way for people to die? As I wrote we don't know that much about this yet, but scientists keep throwing out something everytime they find or encounter it and then people from both extremes twist it to their point of view instead of evaluating what was said.
I'm not a shut everything down person. That is idiotic, but take precautions is common sense. Cancer patients usually have issues to deal with that changes the way they do things, and drug users/ alcoholics need to seek assistance and change the way they have been living, and in a lot of cases people around them have to adapt to help these people survive. It doesn't have to be locking away in your house and shutting down business.
In Covid a mask is a simple, even though imperfect way, to help those around you and yourself. Yes, it can get through the masks that we have for general public use in some situations, but if you keep some distance it is less likely to be an issue. Simple test is have someone spit in your face without the mask and then with the mask. Then go ahead and do it from 6 feet apart(obviously one of the random numbers thrown out by the scientific community) and see the difference of what comes through.
As far as hospital coding things to benefit the buisness, it probably does happen in some cases. Gee, how unusual a business committing a fraud, but on the whole that isn't what is occurring. I say this as I have a family working in the hospital arena and have questioned that exact same thing. I was given examples of how it works in their hospital and I bet a large majority are running an honest operation just the same way.
