Spent time in the hospital yesterday being checked out. Talked to several nurses on covid.

Luckily I checked out OK and if I had another stroke it was a mini stroke.
What was interesting was talking to three nurses over about 14 hours. All three pretty much said the same thing. Covid is very real but not a problem if you don't have underlying health issues. All three nurses were in the 45 to 55 year age group. All said they have seen worse flu epidemics in the past. All three said the numbers are being inflated by 2, 3 or 4 times actual numbers both in those testing positive with covid and those dying of covid. All three said there may be areas of the country that are worse than S.C. but that they wouldn't believe any numbers reported as the hospitals have a financial interest in reporting high numbers of covid.
I certainly saw no evidence of large numbers of people in the hospital. These three nurses said their hours have been cut which agrees with what our daughter who is an RN has told us that she can't seem to pickup any extra shifts which she would frequently do before all this nonsense started.
I have said all along we are being played for fools.

Thanks for the nurses report.
I agree, the covid BS will not be a problem one day after the election. I will concede I could be wrong. If the press decides they can cause even more problems for Trump by continuing to lie about the number of cases and deaths, and enough people still believe that millions of people are dying I have no idea where this goes.
My post a few days ago doesn't address inflated numbers, but is does address real people and what is happening in their world.

Note the chart Barzilla posted on total weekly deaths from all causes. The chart shows an increase in total deaths. So I have to wonder if this virus isn't the reason what is the reason for the increase in total deaths. We can see from the chart when the flu virus cycles. Even if more deaths are being blamed on the virus than is warranted we can't ignore the increase in total deaths.
Yes it is being politized and used to cast doubt and blame. Chances are the virus will have ran it's course by November and certainly a lot of the hyped up drama will go away.. None of that means the virus isn't an issue and people aren't dying from it. I don't say this to support government ordered restrictions I am just pointing out the reality of the virus despite all the sensationalism.
I think we will continue to have these rights up until the commies take over congress and the white house, then we will not have our rights very long at all if we are not willing to fight for them. I am not sure there are enough patriots left who are willing to fight for our country. The next several months will be very interesting!!!!!
I have said from the beginning that this virus isn’t as dangerous as they say it is. I still look at it as, 1 part dangerous, 2 parts hype and 3 parts political. Now after watching it all summer I have come to the conclusion, that, medically it has been manufactured in to a combination of 6 parts BS. It is a way for hospitals to collect $39,000 for each patent they claim to have died from this virus. It is also a propaganda tool used by the media in promoting their agenda of liberalism, and putting fear in people in order to control them.
I know one thing 100% for certain!! I would trust these good peoples opinions FAR MORE than I would trust anything being said by ANY branch of our government!!
Barzillia, thank you for the compliment on my intelligence. So maybe you can answer me a couple of questions. A person was killed 3 weeks ago on a motorcycle, during the during the autopsy it was found that he had the virus, they put the cause of death as cov-19. Two weeks ago two girls went to get tested, they filled out the papers, after two hours of waiting they said the hell with this and left, five days later they received notices that they were positive. Now you were saying something about a hippo tail oath? It’s all about the money at this stage of the game, and inflating the numbers.
Just because someone isn’t afraid of Covid doesn’t mean he or she doesn’t believe in it. He or she understands the risk but doesn’t prioritize fear over life.
Barzillia, I only have one question to ask you. Are you a big fan of MSNBC, CNN, or are you on DRUGS?
Below is regarding a elderly woman who had Covid listed on her death certificate in SC. Question begs to be asked how many more?
Gary Watts, the county coroner who responded to Hill’s death, told WIS that coronavirus was never mentioned to his office in her case.
“When we took the call originally, it was a patient with Alzheimer’s — nothing was mentioned about COVID-19 at that time,” he said.
“It’s certainly something that needs to be answered as to why that happened, and who made that decision, and why that decision was made if there was no indication at the time of death,” Watts said
