It's horseshit because Medicare billing forms don't give a gently caress about the diagnosis, they bill based on procedure codes. ICU time is ICU time, it doesn't matter whether you're in the ICU for covid-19 or for sepsis.

My care is covered if it's covid-19 related but since I'm not positive I have to pay for my care so I'm sure you're right about Medicare but say other insurance providers are doing the dance

Not even close. Passengers are down like 95%, there are still a ton of planes in the air. As of the last time I worked 9 days ago my facility was still doing about 2000 operations a day, down from the normal 5-6000 a day we'd usually be seeing. Low altitude traffic has gone up.

Are the dumbass air travel bloggers still "working?"

This would be the dumbest possible outcome. People lost their job, their family member, their mental well-being, and there's nowhere for them to direct their emotions. There's no collective mourning or catharsis allowed, since the Dems will never focus blame on the Trump administration for their criminal failure, and of course the media will never do anything. And Americans aren't going to riot or try to overthrow the government. There will be a well of unrest, a kind of built up blob of psychic damage caused by this pandemic. And the easiest thing for the people in power to do about it is channel it towards China.

We can't have a memorial for the victims, and we sure as hell can't send any of the criminals to jail. But we can definitely have a lot of anti-Asian racism.

these are the same people (u.s. voters) that couldn't handle a little anti-fascism without having a crackdown on their own citizens smh

Josh Cahill is still flying and endangering people, but he's in asia so I think that makes it slightly more reasonable. He recently flew in business around Indonesia and he was the only passenger in the cabin

I've seen it referenced via Medicare and Medicare uses a very specific form for billing through facilities that only includes room for CPT4 codes, which are diagnosis-independent.

Private insurers may demand something else, and it may depend on the insurer. Insurer-facility relations is a loving nightmare.

Trump is just a reality TV guy who consequently understands propaganda. Especially the part where believing in what you say is the trick to getting others to believe it as well, and not knowing the truth or erasing it from your mind is the best way to make what you say believable to yourself. He only thinks bullshit is actually real to the extent that he thinks reality tv is more real than reality (which is true to a surprising extent).

Trump was elected by his base to 'own the libs' and he will do what owns the libs the most and gets him the most attention. Even though it would be trivial for the GOP to steal an election in the background, he will make a big show of doing it because that will get the most attention and the most hooting from his base, because that is all he lives for.

Don't do anything drastic but no job is worth your mental or physical well-being no job will ever be that loyal to you when the chips are really down and that's obviously apparent. That being said having a job is a good thing right now considering the job market. Take care and if you're able step away from your BS job for 2 seconds and go outside to get the D
