#1 administrative roles unrelated to the care of patients

Different time, different disease...in my 6 month study, I found @30% of my interactions were unnecessary or ineffectual.

#4 If the corona virus is really as deadly as they say it is, why aren't there people piling into these hospitals for care? Especially with the federal government paying for uninsured corona cases, demand for medical care should be way up.

Something definitely does not add up.

#5 ^ try adding this up, Major Tom: the Bay Area i.e. San Fran-Oakland San Jose, which ought to be Ground Zero for the COVID epidemic, has a grand total as of this am of 239 COVID fatalities.

239. Out of 8 million people.

And this population includes the largest concentration of Chinese, with thousands of travelers every day arriving from China including directly from Wuhan, during the 6 weeks of the virus's initial spread in Dec-January before the travel ban.

Plus thousands of homeless literally shitting all over SF's streets.

By our fearless leaders' doomsday models, SF and the rest of the Bay Area should have surpassed 10,000 deaths by now, and be well on our way to 50,000 Bay Area deaths. Remember: we're the leading edge of the disease's spread for the US, and we have extreme population density and every sort of high-vulnerability population imaginable -- almost a million Chinese, thousands of homeless, hundreds of thousands of illegals.

Instead of tens of thousands of COVID fatalities the 8-million pop. Bay Area has tallied 239.

Yes, the numbers don't add up.

#6 Timeline: California reacts to coronavirus

Could be something as simple as not letting the virus get into nursing homes.

#7 The countermeasure is in the water or the air.
Could just be salt air humidity, or CBD.
