The TV is carrying the story today. I wonder just what they are talking about. Surly they could not conceal the fact of a death occurring. I mean you have a body to bury or otherwise dispose of, you need a death certificate. I cannot imagine concealing the occurrence of the deaths. So are we talking about deaths from Corona virus being recorded as from other causes? More easily done, as most of the deaths were of elderly people who suffer from a number of problems as well as from Corona virus. In a case like this, where there are a lot of things present, what to blame the death upon is up the the judgement of the doctor. The odd part about the situation is doctors have been widely accused of attributing every death to Corona virus. Apparently hospitals get more reimbursement for Corona virus cases than other things and place great pressure upon the doctors to call all the questionable cases to be corona virus cases.
The TV is not talking about that angle.
Later TV input, About 8000 New Yorkers died in nursing homes from Corona virus. Another 4000 came down with Corona virus and were transferred to hospitals and then they died. Those 4000 deaths were not counted against nursing homes.
