Several Florida Labs Wrongly Report 100 Percent of COVID-19 Tests Positive

Numerous laboratories in Florida have misreported 100% positive coronavirus test rates, according to FOX 35.

The Florida Department of Health said some labs have not reported any negative test results.

Other labs reported extremely high positivity rates, which set off some alarms.

FOX 35 INVESTIGATES: Questions raised after fatal motorcycle crash listed as COVID-19 death

ORLANDO, Fla. - A person who died in a motorcycle accident was added to Florida’s COVID-19 death count, according to a state health official.

FOX 35 News found this out after asking Orange County Health Officer Dr. Raul Pino whether two coronavirus victims who were in their 20s had any underlying conditions. One of his answers surprised us.

“The first one didn’t have any. He died in a motorcycle accident,” Pino said.

Yesterday while standing in the parking lot of our closed restaurant a customer stopped to talk to us. He is a regular. He owns a funeral home.

He told us that 40-60% of his "customers" are being labeled corona deaths

all but a few of their families are telling him it's crap dreamed up by the hospitals.

One of his "customers" had been in the hospital since last fall with COPD. Labeled a corona/covid death on the death cert.

we are never going to know the truth........and that's the goal

Health care facilities have every incentive to lie since they get paid by the feds for every covid case they report. Big money to be had during this "crisis"...

I guess that's why the US death toll is much higher than anyplace else in the world.

Oh wait...I forgot...the actual reason for the highest death toll is DONALD TRUMP...sorry I slipped up there...

A teacher at the school my son in law works at went to a testing clinic/ station right after July 4. Waited in line for an hour, had to give her name and contact info. After an hour she left.

Yesterday she rec'd notification she had tested positive, and was given instructions on what to do next

So now, Dallas County is padding #s by counting people that didn't even get tested, as testing positive for c19:rolleyes:

How can you believe any numbers that are posted??

I feel profoundly sad for anyone who is weird and paranoid enough to believe that.

Tell me please you are joking?

many hospitals are on verge of bankruptcy from shutdowns by mayors and governors. Most have had all elective procedures put on hold to keep beds available.

What is "weird" is that hospitals and other facilities are actually getting paid to report medicare positive covid-19 cases, even if not tested. And they get paid really big bucks if a patient goes on a ventilator, as Dave pointed out yesterday.

Wherever there is money to be made off the federal government, the private sector will assuredly find way to enrich themselves as much as possible.

Boxcar,

Historically I have been highly critical of your behavior-based, Bible-thumpy attitude. I doubt that will change. LOL

HOWEVER...

I've gotta say that the fact-based posts you share are so worthwhile that I never miss reading them. I share many of them on Facebook.

This thread was full of them.

Thank you and please keep up this good work.
