US makes up 4,25 % of world population but accounts for 24% of deaths---dead people don't lie
what are you disagreeing with?  I have not refuted that people are indeed dying,  but are the death numbers being exaggerated or manipulated... I think so.

and are all the other countries testing every single person that dies and reporting them as covid deaths?   I have heard of people dying from car crashed or other physical trauma and being tested and reported as covid related deaths,  that is unheard of.   Imagine if every single person that died in this country got tested for other diseases and had their cause of death listed as such if they tested positive regardless of symptoms.

Who's reporting car crash victims being listed as covid deaths---I believe there might be some number added but that it is isolated and marginal at best.

We failed to get ahead of this early on(Leadership) and are reaping our reward

We get incorrect numbers because that's just what happens, whether you're talking about war, famine, disease, whatever. Where you jump the shark is thinking that it's intentional, or worse, that someone somewhere is directing it. There are people who believe that, Jimmy. Don't be one of those people.

it was part of report I read back in april or may in regards to abuses to the govt cost sharing for hospitals treating covid patients,  no matter what brings people into the hospitals they are/were getting tested and if it was positive they we listed as being admitted for covid treatment.

So this has never been posted here?  I mean this was stated back in April but yet there are people who think the Covid death numbers are not inflated?

This isn't about red vs. blue, it's about stupid.  Trying to block funding for COVID testing, tracing, and the CDC while the country is setting new records for daily cases is mind boggling.

This is probably the last, big COVID package before November elections. We can all argue till the cows come home, but POTUS doesn't like the perception the #'s are giving.

Red/Blue political goals aside, testing and tracing is the best bullet in the holster we got right now.

Cutting $ there doesn't pass the idiot test.

Kroger Stops Giving Change to CustomersThe Kroger Co. reportedly has stopped giving coins as change to customers during cash transactions, putting the money instead on loyalty cards or giving it to charity. 
The move reflects another of the many problems caused by the ongoing pandemic: a coin shortage in the United States because of the decline of cash transactions as more consumers and retailers shift toward contactless purchases. 
Kroger didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Progressive Grocer.  
Quote:The remainders from cash transactions will be applied to customers’ loyalty cards and automatically used on their next purchase,” reported Cincinnati.com, located in Kroger’s hometown. “Customers are also encouraged to ‘round up’ to support the company’s Zero Hunger | Zero Waste Foundation.”
The new process stems from a situation that emerged publicly in June when the U.S. Federal Reserve announced that the “COVID‐19 pandemic has significantly disrupted the supply chain and normal circulation patterns for U.S. coins. In the past few months, coin deposits from depository institutions to the Federal Reserve have declined significantly and the U.S. Mint’s production of coin also decreased due to measures put in place to protect its employees.”
