What are more accurate numbers?

What about South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, etc who are also reporting 'successful' numbers?
I don't really trust the accuracy of the data, I wish I could. Of course, I can only speak to the US, but how can you be confident when ours is so diluted? And when you know how bogus China's is? I know there are some countries who have had success managing this thing, but on the whole....

It's not a conspiracy theory when it's true.
Buddy of mine (same one I mentioned who was sick last week) is friends with a hospital doc in town and he talks about the money factor all the time. So no, it's not a conspiracy at all.

And BTW, his employer has forbidden any of them from talking to the media about it. I guess they don't want people underestimating the virus, thinking it's a hoax, etc. But the inflating for money definitely is happening.

Yeah, it's not exactly a deep state conspiracy. It has been quite obvious for a while now.

This is the exact equivalent of Germany in the 40's. It is unreal that we have politicians and an ENTIRE professional sport in bed with these murderers and tyrants.
Don't forget that they manufacture a large % of our goods, a big part of our companies are in that bed as well.

I agree, and Trump was getting us away from that. Oh well, nothing like going backwards.

how did he do that?

If true, he should still post anonymously via Twitter, etc. Hell, file a lawsuit, how is censoring people by threatening to fire them ok in todays hypersensitive world?

as consumers, we all are and I'm not sure its possible to do a complete ban of Chinese goods, I've been more aware of it and notice that even if you try to buy "American" many of the components are made in China. We need robotic production to take hold so things can be built in the US.

BTW, said he had to deal with the podunk city/county contact tracer. That woman actually urged him to go to the hospital even though his symptoms were mild and his doctor advised nothing of the sort. Nonsense like that makes me wonder if that's one reason hospitalizations are so high.
makes absolute sense to me. Overinflated data, making it useless.

you mean preexisting, like high blood pressure? she's 55 and otherwise in good shape.
yeah, the conditions they say accompany a "bad" experience, although in this case, not "hospital" level bad. My son is asthmatic, and yet had ZERO breathing issues while sick with the Vid.
