    The news media gets their death count numbers from the uber scary Johns Hopkins COVID-19 death map (see below). It shows the deaths attributed to COVID-19 in the US at nearly 73,000. The CDC, on the other hand, reports that actual deaths from COVID-19 to be only a little over 44,000 (see below). This is…

  • Don’t hold your breath waiting for a COVID-19 vaccine

  • Hospitals and doctors get a spiff for COVID-19 patients

    It’s always nice to get a pay bump. But in this case we’re the suckers paying the bill. Are the number of infections and deaths related to COVID-19 inflated in order for the hospital systems to cash in because they can’t perform elective procedures?
