Why America Has Such High Numbers of Coroni "Cases"

Of the US federal aid promised because of the scamdemic, this is how much each US state gets in aid for every reported Coroni “case”. For example Alaska gets $306,000 and Montana $315,000. No wonder all states have a vested interest in boosting the numbers.

I did read something like that relating to hospital cases, in a New York story, though I think it was Federal money. These do seem a bit high - do you have a link to these figures Pat? Cheers

@Evvy_dense

The link is in the “5 filters” bit in the original post. Don’t ask me why its called “5 Filters discussing current affairs …”

Ah yes sorry! Thanks…trying to make sense of the numbers.

Alabama
$158,000 per COVID-19 case

Alaska
$306,000

Arizona
$23,000

Arkansas
$285,000

California
$145,000

Presumably the $30bn got used up quite quickly (as $30bn does… :slight_smile: ). The link explains

" HHS said it doled out the first slice of funding based on Medicare revenue to get support to hospitals as quickly as possible. The agency said the next round of grants “will focus on providers in areas particularly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak,” rural hospitals and other healthcare providers that receive much of their revenues from Medicaid."

Taking the numbers at face value (did West Virginia really get 40 times New York?) let’s call the average $100,000 (it’s higher, maybe double?) and divide the $30bn into 50 states, so they get (on average) about $600m each out of that. At $100,000 each that’s only enough for 6,000 cases? (my hand’s over the edit button :slightly_smiling_face: ).
Does that give the impression that money was dished out with few questions asked?
If so then it would bump up ‘cases’.
Have you seen any questioning of this particular link in the money chain?

Couple more thoughts Pat

This link (which also affirms the $30bn initial total) seems to establish another story:

“…if it’s a straightforward, garden-variety pneumonia that a person is admitted to the hospital for – if they’re Medicare – typically, the diagnosis-related group lump sum payment would be $5,000. But if it’s COVID-19 pneumonia, then it’s $13,000, and if that COVID-19 pneumonia patient ends up on a ventilator, it goes up to $39,000.”
This claim (of Dr Scott Jensen’s) was fact-checked and seems true. I first heard it from Judy Mikovits in the much-maligned Pandemic video.

If the $39000 is part of a medical ‘price list’ it’s possible the bills run to $100-$200K though it seems a bit steep. Wouldn’t it put the Medicare insurers out of business?

If there is poor auditing then hospitals might be able to just write ‘Covid’ or even ‘ventilator’ and get away with it, but if the auditing is real there should be details of treatment.
It would be good to get on top of the story of the money!

Do you remember the US accounts missing $6.6 billion during the Iraq occupation? Was claimed to have been found years later.
$6.6 billion in lost Iraq cash now accounted for, inspector says

But that only seemed to mean that it was verified the Iraq government had received the money. Even if true the fact that it was still ‘lost’ at the US end (for years) shows how slack the oversight was. Regular pinches of salt needed…

My understanding (and I’m happy to be corrected if wrong), is that the Medicare insurer is the US treasury. The private insurers payout to the individual, not the hospital or clinic. The $13,000 and $39,000 are US government payouts. As they are payouts to the hospital, then they have every incentive to declare every case as Covid, and get as many as possible onto ventilators.

I too got the 13,000 and $39,000 figures from Judy Mikovits, then heard it by Scott Jensen and I think in one of the Andrew Kaufman interviews, he said the same.

The Last American Vagabond exposes shows how suddenly, one months pneumonia and flu deaths BEFORE the start of even Wuhan have been added to the US Covid death numbers.

He also covers how New York’s govenuor Cuome covered up nursing home deaths. Not everyone likes his style, but well worth a listen.
