It’s the justification for ruining livelihoods.

That’s it. Of course.

No one wants to ruin livelihoods.

A few may even see it as an opportunity to forward an agenda of more govt sponsored dependence.

They all have disaster declarations in place. The more deaths the more hardship

Serious question. Does your friend have strong feelings about this stuff?

You're saying first responders don't have conversations with ER doctors?

Because it falls in line with his political beliefs.

Yup....that is complete BS. Paramedics and first responders have no idea what is listed as the cause of death.

Yes but even Dr. Deborah Birx has said that they typically count people who die

Yep. Hospitals get more money the more covid-related deaths they report

It’s true.

It is because hospitals will receive incentive money and they do not want deaths

First responders would need to be notified if they were in contact with someone

That would be a surprise. Nevada has had only about 100 deaths
