The newly released review said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency OK’d expenses typically rejected and even handed over more than the $9,000 maximum allowed for funerals during the early days of the coronavirus crisis.


Overall, auditors are questioning $26.9 million in FEMA funeral payments.

It even paid many double billings because it set up no “guard rails” to block fraud, the inspector general said.

For example, the agency’s own rules for crisis-time funerals reasonably allowed for funding obituaries, flowers, register books, catering services, and transporting people to cemeteries.

FEMA spent wildly on COVID funerals, ‘boat purchases,’ death jewelry

Officials with FEMA approved massive amounts of unallowed COVID-19 funeral expenses, including “boat purchases” for families to spread the ashes of loved ones at sea, according to an internal audit.

Yep, those are the symptoms of this variant. Treat it like any other bug. It's generally pretty well gone after day 5 (your first day of symptoms is day 0)

It’s the worst nasal congestion and mucus I have ever had. Worse than any seasonal allergies I’ve had.

Pretty sure I have caught Covid. Felt off all weekend, but today is the worst. Just real bad congestion and sore throat.

The most prevalent virus circulating here right now is rhinovirus. I believe that is what I had two weeks ago, and my drainage cough is just now getting better.

(N.b. I did run a CV19 test several days in just out of curiosity, and it was negative)

Back in March hospitals around my area said they would mask according to CDC county data. When county is “low” (<10/100,000 hospitalized) then no masks. Our county is currently at 6/100,000, but the hospitals have brought back masks “out of an abundance of caution” per the official announcement.

You get the stupid, extremist post of the month. Where did you write this--in your FuhrerBunker in Idaho? Do not again advocate violence on a public board again, Maga man. It's unfortunate that your intelligence level doesn't permit you to understand that you were deceived by the gangster.

Another conspiracy theory from the good guys proven to be true ...

www.dailymail.co.uk

Covid to blame for just 1% of weekly deaths from all causes across US

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Covid dashboard shows 324 Covid deaths were registered in the week ending August 19 - making up just 1.7% of the overall deaths that week.

Do you even read the garbage headlines you post?

The headline states "99 Percent of "COVID deaths" not caused by COVID". The article talked about the percentage of total deaths that were caused by COVID.

Another misleading headline that the conspiracy theorists fell for without even thinking...

Yes it was read and it looks like they edited the article after posting. Just don't click on any future ones and you should be good.
  • An earlier version of this article claimed 99 percent of Covid deaths in the past week were not primarily caused by the virus. In fact, a footnote at the bottom of the CDC's Covid data tracker explains the percentage of all reported deaths attributed as Covid-19 is calculated based on the number of deaths from all causes. We have amended the article to reflect this.

Countering the "Sweden's COVID policies were a disaster" narrative...

Study: Sweden's 'laissez faire' pandemic policies paid off

The Scandinavian country suffered fewer excess deaths and far less economic and social damage than other rich countries that had more restrictive policies.

It’s awful when facts get in the way of propaganda.


This doesn’t hurt their case either

Sweden​

Average life expectancy: 82 years

Another Nordic nation, Sweden, takes the spot as our fifth healthiest country. Sweden has a well-funded and comprehensive healthcare system, with universal access to healthcare for all citizens. According to OECD data, Sweden spent 9.9% of its GDP on healthcare in 2019, which is higher than the average healthcare spending for OECD countries.

Swedes have a healthy lifestyle, with a diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, all of which are associated with reduced risk of chronic diseases. Additionally, Swedes have a strong culture of physical activity, with high participation in outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and skiing, which can promote good physical and mental health.

Akin with its breathtaking natural landscapes, Sweden boasts a relatively low level of air pollution, which is associated with better respiratory health. Sweden also has strong policies related to environmental protection, including efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote renewable energy, all of which have positive impacts on both the environment and public health.
