Have colds and flu been eradicated? You’re sure that she has COVID despite numerous negative tests? Why?

Test again to see if false negative?

I mean, this isn't complicated.

No one has this figured out yet. Not even the experts on this board.

If you repeat it enough, it becomes true.

That's not how burden of proof works.

No one has shown any proof that it's happening "all over the country."

There's only been like 3 instances I've seen posted on here over the last 5 months.

Seems to be how it works with COVID-19 though.

“We can’t actually prove you have it, and the tests we can do say you don’t. We’re still going to say you have it though.”

No one is denying they do.

They get more money for Medicare patients and uninsured patients. Covid treatment is far more expensive than their normal operating budgets so they've been supplemented by increasing the federal money they get.

You keep saying they're falsifying case counts to get more of that money, but you have no proof and don't even understand where the extra money is coming from to see that it's not really working that way.

The OP is literally a story of a negative test but the doc still calling it 100% covid. Why would he do that? For shits and giggles?

You are saying that in a thread about a nurse that tested negative multiple times yet they say she has it.
