Let me preface this with the fact that I’m just your average moron. I’m just going by what I’ve heard. Evidently, hospitals are incentivized to mark deaths as being due to covid so they get funding, even the patient who was in a car accident that got mangled up and would’ve died anyway but he tested positive for covid. That might be an extreme example, I don’t fukking know the details on how they log the stats.

My question is, if the hospitals are receiving money for covid related treatment/deaths, is that money all going towards that area or does it go somewhere else at the hospital? Is anyone auditing this sh!t?

I recall readint this doctors article last week about COVID and money making. It doesn't answer your question directly but thought it interesting.

....What about hospitals? They’re among the largest beneficiaries of government largesse, and loath to give up on the free money. Massive parts of their income come from government programs like Medicare and Medicaid. So, when the CARES Act shoved more money at them for every COVID diagnosis, we saw hospitals demanding that every patient be tested. A minimum of $13,000 for each positive result was too juicy a plum to leave uneaten.

Even now, my friends in active practice report that hospital personnel insist on COVID tests for patients who are admitted with problems unrelated to any infectious disease. A patient who died of a heart attack in the ER got a nasal swab in the quest for filthy lucre after he died. “Show me the money!“

Bureaucrats such as the incompetent virologist who shall not be named have a very different kind of payoff. The Law of the Bureaucrat states that the bureaucrat is the smartest person in the room. But to be the smartest person, you must be in the room. That means constant media attention is compensation far beyond any paycheck. It’s validation. But this constant re-validation can’t happen if the problem for which your number was called does not exist. So, nothing can be allowed to actually end the emergency.....
