I'm willing to do the: 'Battery Hen' at their behest, but I draw the line at: 'Performing Monkey.'
JimC: what is currently happening with billing for Covid cases? Did free treatment actual implement? Are insured folks getting co pay charges and are their insurance being billed?Not only are some hospitals overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients, the lack of revenue from surgeries postponed is pinching some. Some hospitals have even laid off personnel. I would imagine those hospitals in areas with little or no CORONAVIRUS, but have state wide shelter in place edicts, have seen a large drop in patients.

I ve been thinking the same actually. The models used for prediction have huge margins of error as there are too many variables without good estimates. Basically garbage in garbage out. Yes its best to err on side of caution, over estimate impact to help ensure robust response. I just can't grapple with 100k forecasted death in US when seeing 10k+ in first month. I think it should peter out before those figures happen, as some major pop centers are starting to peak now. Hope im not wrong.The latest is, the Donald is inflating projected death numbers so he looks better when the figures turn out smaller.
For those of you who decry politicians and are happy we have a "businessman" at the helm, Trump has done next to nothing non-politically motivated since he announced his candidacy. We have a true businessman at the helm in Illinois and he and a few other governors are doing more to stop the spread of the virus than Trump and his "heroes" ever will.

Whatever happened to confidentiality in the Military?
Berating and humiliating a senior officer to his subordinates surely opens the door for said subordinates to ignore their senior officers because they will be hung out to dry by the administration!
The daily Whitehouse Coronavirus briefing is broadcast on the BBC news channel each day (not sure why) but we managed to catch it today - it was incredible, incredible - absolutely incredible....
My wife said “did I hear that right - he just said the WHO had a different interpretation to him, and they were wrong, he was right. And as a punishment for disagreeing with him, he is going to stop their funding”
I said - it’s one interpretation of what the President said
Reply....there was no friggin interpretation needed, it was bloody clear!
Quiet soul my missus
So where does this end ? Is Trump really trying to be the nations MD, a dispenser of advice that would save all but the partisan disbelievers?
Its beyond incredible..
Sort of a "Beatings will continue until morale improves" situation if ever there was one:
And now that waste of space temp head of the navy has stepped down/been forced to quit.
Guess his press coverage from this leaked address to the crew and his subsequent non-apology was competing with trump's daily rally/briefing ratings.
