One, the reporting on deaths and cases was hyper inflated fraud. They could not hide that fact with empty ships and tents. Two, the ships and tents cost real money with real bills. They could not get covid sham money and use the loot for other things.
I know in Houston, the tents went up and went down within a week yet the Mayor never shuts up about testing and cases or getting his hands on money. He wants to take the money from our rainy day fun since before the virus.
The reason is because the medical ships/tents were federally funded and aided. That means the private hospitals don't get paid if COVID patients aren't going to the hospitals. Hospitals got something like 15k in kickbacks per COVID patient, so there's incentive to call EVERYTHING COVID. It also helps politically, because they can inflate the numbers. That's why the tests were set to be incredibly sensitive. Because the hospitals profit, and the Democrats make the opposition look bad.
It's win/win for both parties.
Putting people in the overflow ships doesn't get them paid and it makes Trump look good because they needed the aide and he was there standing by. They wouldn't give him a win. Even at the cost of people's lives. That's how much they care about human life and their constituents. They're willing to sacrifice lives to achieve their goal. They're willing to kill people if it means them winning. They're willing to destroy the fabric of society if it means power.
They don't care if the country is burnt to the ground as long as they're the ones that get to stand on top of the ashes and scream decree's to the corpses.
Spot on! Too many people do not realize this. But more are waking up.
They burned men women and children to death in their West Coast arson attacks.
$13K for every China virus patient that came through the door, $37K if they put them in the ICU and a 20% jackpot bonus on the entire bill.
Nursing homes could spread the China virus through their population and get an additional 20% per bed.
Well said, I'm stealing this!
Makes sense. Also that NY is 66 billion dollars in debt, 13 billion before Covid kicked off.
And Rachel Maddow scoffed when Trump said he would have those hospital ships there in a week and then he did. She just carried on lying.
Our hospitals set up overflow in the parking lots. Never was used.
Remember all of the video of empty hospitals? The fake NBC segment from a NYC hospital showing long lines of people and then someone went there the next day and it was empty. The tents they put up were empty. I checked my local hospitals and they were all empty too. So are the testing centers. I have one right up the street and the only time I saw a line of cars was when the local news cameras were there. Mostly it sits empty with the workers sleeping in their cars. I’m sure we’re paying for these people to sit doing nothing too.
Every 'crisis' I've seen this country go through, from subprime mortgage scandal to Covid-19, has been a massive and corrupt wealth transfer scheme. Public debt for private gain, all to 'save the country.'
The hospital ships and tent hospitals were not sent for COVID patients. They were for other problems to free up hospitals for COVID patients.
BS. Both stayed virtually empty the entire time. The tents went down in days. Ships gone in 2 weeks with almost no patients. Where are you getting this info...meh.
I know they stayed empty. I'm just reporting facts. The ships and the tent locations were for non-COVID overflow although at the time Trump said if they needed to take COVID patients they are ready to.
Yep, that's how I remember it too. Although some crew members did get in and bring it aboard anyways.
