Important warning, before you see a number and get too excited: are you making sure to round down the 9/11 per day stat? You wouldn't want it to say 1.0 when it's actually 0.98...

hospitals make their money off elective procedures and even in hard-hit areas are laying doctors and nurses off left and right right up until they're at the freaking out NYC peak beds in lobby phase

Covid-19 reimbursement has nothing to do with the number of patients that died. It's tied to time billed on Covid-19 related projects and efforts, we recharge this time (individual or unit) to a different cost center.

No one wants this to be over with more than hospitals, we have every incentive for this to end ASAP so we can go back to where the real money comes from: elective surgeries.

“(Los Toltecos) was packed. Half weren’t wearing masks and you couldn’t talk to any employees to see what was up,” said Lindsay Pualoa. Her family gave up trying to get their order and ended up making pizza after even Taco Bell had a long line.
“But I was sure ours was the only family of geniuses who thought of getting Mexican food on Cinco de Mayo! I can’t believe this pandemic is forcing us to make our own pizzas!”

This is indeed the way to do it. I have a friend in Des Moines (not even rural) who just buys - I forget exactly what it is - a quarter of a side of beef from a local farm that's grass-fed once a quarter, and he plops it in a chest freezer. The same local farm delivers a variety of vegetables to him once every two weeks. It's way cheaper than HyVee altogether.
I think some locals specifically avoid farm CSAs because you’re limited to whatever that farm grows and is ready for harvest and most people are used to getting whatever they want at a grocery store. We love having the CSA but there are some weeks where it’s like I hope you loving love squash because that’s half the box for the next month.

Of course not, the country’s ability to collaborate on a project of collective mourning that doesn’t involve xenophobia disappeared with its attention span.

(So there’s maybe a chance of a memorial if we go to war with China at least)

By early evening Tuesday, Parrando’s Tex Mex Grill in Ashburn had a reported 100-200 people waiting outside its doors. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office confirms they got a call about overcrowding in the parking lot there and sent a deputy. The deputy advised Parrando’s managers about the current rules for restaurants and the people gathered were asked to return to their cars to wait for their food.

the mexican restaurant that i used to work at right by my house was packed all day, when I walked by nobody was wearing a mask. not one customer out of dozens.

oh, god, no. the us has done a pretty good job of obfuscating the tragedy of mass graves by covering up with whataboutism about stonks and freedom and the future of WFH so well that people can't even conceptualise that amount of dead people, except, of course, the people who are chillingly obsessed with how close that matches up to other, mostly preventable diseases like heart failure or diabetes because ANY admission that the us is a failed state would require attending to that

quite literally, about a week before this all popped off, a neighbour of mine snarkily remarked that a lot of people die of heart attacks and we don't do anything about that and i was like, "???? we do???" but she's a loving braindead leech so
