    No one is claiming masks are a cure for Covid, they are an easy method to try to vastly reduce the spread of the virus.

    I don’t have a side, as I prefer to decide for myself as opposed to being told what to decide.
    That being said, I don’t give a rats ass which source you use. I already showed you how much the system I work for, as well as all of the hospitals in my state, are losing in money. So you can try and prove all you like that COVID is a cash cow but it’s not when hospitals are losing hundreds of millions due to all other procedure not being done.

    These people are delightfully inconsistent.

    Incorrect. Clearly you didn’t read the article. Guess that was asking too much of you

    Haha...nonsense. No one is going around trying to find COVID cases. The fact that we and other hospitals in the state are losing money is because of the focus that was put on treating COVID cases when we were hit hard early on. If COVID cases were such a cash cow then logic would dictate we wouldn’t be losing money. But that wasn’t the case.

    LOL, sure. Must be backwards day. Are you saying the title does not directly imply that?

    It's all they have. These days I can't find a single Republican wiling to treat the disease seriously. Not one. I wish that weren't the case, but I can't find any other way around it. This is what happens when the GOP abandons all ideological basis and invests entirely in underserved Trump worship.

    Then let's start with the easy route.

    $13K for covid cases, $39K for covid cases requiring a ventilator.

    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/medicare-hospitals-covid-patients/

    Notice the only thing that snopes says is false is that there is no standard one size fits all payments.

    I pass a testing site on the way to work, there are lines of "hopefuls" present, every day.

    And yet hospitals in my state are losing billions.
    Gee...you’d think the cash cow that is COVID would prevent billions in losses.

    You missed the point and I'm done wasting time trying to spoonfeed it to you.

    I'm not. Science is.

    You have no idea what you're talking about. Masks help protect others. If everybody wore masks, even makeshift cloth masks, the rate of infection will decrease dramatically. The scientific peer-reviewed studies are numerous, and they have been all over the corresponding sub-forum (which this is not)

    The fact that in this country the right has transformed wearing masks into a political issue has played a huge part in the U.S. having the very worst response to this pandemic in the world.

    Despite there being a RULE THAT ALL IN CONGRESS wear a mask Gohmert chose to violate it most of his time there. Now he is trying to claim the mask caused him to get infected. He is well known as a nutjob.

    No. That was what is commonly referred to as SARCASM.

    He's probably not as nutty as your guy Hank thinking Guam would actually flip over.

    You use sarcasm when you cannot refute something?

    Doesn't sound healthy.

    Oh... My bad! When I said I looked at the "science", I only meant the scientific peer-reviewed studies. I forgot your opinion trumps dozens of peer-reviewed studies carried out in many countries, all of which arrive at exactly the same conclusion.

    I guess researchers and scientific publications from all around the world are still in the middle of their conspiracy to make Trump look bad.
