Both. Yes, it’s real, but I truly believe the numbers are being inflated.

@Coralmist America is severely over reporting the numbers simply because there is financial incentive to do so. The more cases reported the more money the area gets.

@hippyjoe1955 I'd be interested to see what the evidence there is which supports the idea that Doctors have been misclassifying patients for financial gain.
On the face of it, I find it hard to believe that a Doctor could get away with sticking a person on a ventilator for 3 days simply for a 20% increase on what they'd get anyway, without anyone questioning or reporting said Doctor?
I've not seen the evidence, but would be intersted to know where you got that data.
