Well I would agree with part of what you are saying ...BASED on this MSM article!!!It is absolutely stupid and foolish to think that people who have not died of Covid are counted as having died of Covid. THERE IS NO CONSPIRACY.
The motive to do so is the Almighty Dollar. Hospitals get paid huge bonuses every time one of their deaths is due to coronavirus.
And since the massive Lockdowns have really hurt hospitals- elective surgeries like hip replacements and boob enhancements have been postponed- they really NEED the extra money and are motivated to label anything that could remotely be contributed to corona as a "Corona death".
I don't know if its a "conspiracy" but does it matter?
Do Colorado hospitals get extra money for coronavirus cases and deaths? Yes and no. Hospitals do get higher Medicare reimbursements for COVID-19 care, but there are no such payments for deaths
Do Colorado hospitals get extra money for coronavirus cases and deaths? Yes and no.
A claim that states and hospitals inflate coronavirus death counts so they’ll receive more money from the federal government has been circling for weeks on social media, with questions raised…www.denverpost.com
Now I don't so much blame the hospitals BUT do blame the biased MSM that have totally blown this so far out of proportion.
In 2009-10 68 million Americans got H1N1... did we shut down? NO...
USA TODAY investigation:US never spent enough on emergency stockpile, former managers say
The article draws from the reporting of outlets including Bloomberg News and the Los Angeles Times. According to Bloomberg News, “after the H1N1 influenza outbreak in 2009, which triggered a nationwide shortage of masks and caused a 2- to 3-year backlog orders for the N95 variety, the stockpile distributed about three-quarters of its inventory and didn’t build back the supply.”
Just after announcing a national emergency to combat the N1H1 virus in 2009, President Obama went out for a round of golf. Later, he appointed Elmo, the Sesame Street character, as the national spokesperson on how to combat the virus. See https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/09/01/AR2009090103135.html
All told, nearly 13,000 died from the virus. But President Obama got nary a mention of criticism during the year-long battle against the virus.
fter looking through the archives of DaTimes and DaPost, I found almost no serious analysis of what Obama did wrong in 2009.
In April 2009, the virus was a combination of bird, swine, and human flu viruses further combined with a Eurasian pig flu virus, leading to the term “swine flu.”
The Centers for Disease Control estimated the following illness and death rates from April 2009 to April 2010:
–CDC estimated that about 61 million people were infected.
–About 274,000 people ended up in the hospital.
–About 13,000 people died, mainly people over 65.

They do get more money for putting people on respirators though. In addition to the money they are getting for "cases."
