As usual, you miss the point that your attack on Desert Hound made no sense in light of my high-class education credentials (s plural). It places you in the bind of having inadvertently given Hound a compliment (at least from an elitist credentialist point of view) or saying such credentialism doesn't/shouldn't matter. Quite a little box you built for yourself.

Maybe limited value, but there is far more value to test those with symptoms or with prolonged exposure. Instead of making those wait in line for hours.
It's a prime example how FUBAR'd our Covid policies are.
A better argument than there's no with/for problem would have been if you had argued yes there's been an over count, and yes this was a problem, but that over count was skewed differently in previous waves. For example, one SF ER doc whose tweets I follow currently estimates about 60% of admits are with COVID and 40% are for....in previous waves he estimated 50/50....original wild type during lockdowns 70% for/30% with (which would make sense because in lockdown hospitals were turning away non emergency cases). But just like the cloth masks, you can't help letting in just a little bit of daylight for fear it will tumble down the entire edifice of faith. You are like my religion teacher that I wrote about who lost it on the "if God created adam and eve, and Caine and Abel married, where did their wives come from" question.

And? It would have proved their point if they all were in because of COVID. I'm not arguing it isn't different now but any math person worth a damn understands that changing how data is collected also ruins any possibility of comparing the data across time. If it's a good idea now, it was a good idea then.
This is funny. I still wear a mask and continue to observe all local mandates wherever I happen to be. My trust isn't something anyone needs to worry about as far as COVID goes beyond how I vote. However, there are others out there as angry or angrier than you are. Our leaders didn't do a good job of keeping their trust.

Trust has certainly left the station. COVID designation also = $$$$. $13K per per person admitted with covid, $39K per ventilator. Now, likley not a ton of money was made (contrast that to the $$$ being poured down the pharma drain). This could have easily caused the disease to appear deadlier than it actually is/was. And yes, it's still a tragedy, but numbers mean something and painting it on the high side is not good.
The Entrata FB page already has posters dumping on him. But it's his company, and the company website entrata.com has nothing to say.
Hospitals are required to keep patients with covid isolated from the general population, and additional PPE is required for those attending such patients. That means extra costs.
And Aaron Rodgers has 2 years of education from Cal. Sometimes you just can't tell how an alumnus is going to work out.

Yes, you are 100% correct. It costs more to treat a covid patient. Don't think that hospitals didn't take advantage of the system. Hospitalists also run P&Ls. This was an easy one to take advantage of, and they did. Like I stated above, not a ton of money made but painted a picture that was likely innacurate but narrative approved.

Hard to argue with that . . . but then again, some must persist.
