Yeah, I saw that about Tyson's. I wasn't aware of your VA being hit. Our Veteran's Home got hammered pretty hard, including some deaths in that facility. Those still infected (9) were moved to the VA Hospital and the home is now testing clean. We'll see if that holds. That one facility has been the biggest contributor to our cases up here. We're definitely on the downside of the curve now, though.

And why the fuck are people wearing mask jogging or walking alone, as in they are the only person in the area outside.
I can see it if you are walking in a mall or Main St but walking in your neighborhood with no one around seems to be overkill.

To protect you. Perhaps that's a mistake?

I don't know about other states, but in CA a death certificate has 3 blanks under cause of death: Blank due to blank due to blank. Then a box to list contributing factors. So for influenza it might read "respiratory failure due to bacterial pneumonia due to influenza. Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary artery disease." For Covid-19 it might read "respiratory failure due to viral pneumonia due to COVID-19. Diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease."
There's no standardization. Some docs write "cardiac arrest" in the first box, which is dumb unless it was a sudden, unexpected arrest, since cardiac arrest is how everyone dies from any disease. Someone might write COVID-19 in the first box. Someone else might write "COVID-19 due to SARS-CV2" which seems unnecessarily pedantic to me. As long as COVID-19 or coronavirus or SARS-CV2 is somewhere in the 3 boxes it should be considered the cause of death for statistical purposes. That is, the person wouldn't have died if it weren't for the virus. OTOH if the death certificate read "acute metabolic failure due to lysol ingestion due to stupidity. Contributing factors COVID-19" Covid-19 should not be considered the cause of death. Remember that the death certificate is filled out by a doctor who considers doing it a waste of time (death certificates often bounce around a hospital or clinic looking for someone willing to fill them out) and read and entered into a database by a county clerk.
The death certificate has nothing to do with billing. That is done by the diagnoses listed and documented in the medical record. I don't know if COVID-19 is a valid diagnosis for billing purposes or if it is billed as viral pneumonia or respiratory failure or whatever other complication of it the patient died of. For medicare purposes and probably for private insurance any diagnosis that is billed has be documented by certain criteria. Just listing diagnosis is not enough. Billing for an undocumented diagnosis might be considered Medicare or insurance fraud so doctors and billers will usually be careful not to enter a diagnosis without documentation.
Interesting article about proning (placing a patient on their stomach) to avoid intubation. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/...111/acem.13994

You are despicable
I wear a mask or bandanna to show respect with the people I interact with
The mask isn’t to protect me - it is to protect everyone else
How fucking stupid and heartless are you?

I dealt with 4 other guys like this, all red-hatters, golfing last weekend. They keep defending Trump and blowing this off...no worse than the flu. My sister has been a nurse for over 35 years, so I have facts from the inside available. Facts fall on deaf ears to red-hatters

Pssh. Face masks are for kooks who never demo'd anything with asbestos or lead paint in/on it. If you have a perfectly good respirator, why screw around with a fabric mask?

COVID 19 deaths underestimated. Looking at overall deaths in March show many more excess deaths than accounted for by deaths classified as Covid. Some probably due to other diseases in people afraid to go to the hospital or unable to get care because of Covid. Others due to undiagnosed Covid.

Wore my mask to the pot shop. 3 guys in line in the hall with no mask waiting to go in. I coughed and said "Don't worry, I think I might have it so I wore my mask to protect you. "
