I went through and self moderated a bit and cleaned up a few other posts to try and keep this more on track. I apologize for contributing to some of that.

That game is postponed, not cancelled. They are hoping to play it monday or tuesday.
Sorry but no, 1 more player and 1 more personnel tested positive today so Monday or Tuesday games are out. Don't want to get into a semantics battle, canceled and maybe play later, or postponed and maybe play later.
I see the NFL did postpone the game now with the additional case but cancelled and postponed have different meanings, schematics aside.
I obviously disagree with him on literally everything possible, probably even the direction TP goes on the roll. But with that said, I wish no harm on anyone and hope he and his family recover fully.
There are a ton of unknowns right now with where this all goes, but with an increasing spread in many places and a cold season knocking, all should be ready for a bumpy end to the hell known as 2020.

No worries, I’m sure his doc already put him on: hcq, zinc, vitamin d and c and an antibiotic. Since they caught it early they should be able to stop viral replication.
What if he's faking having a fake virus? Cause there are some out there postulating those ideas. And clearly the mask didn't help.
This could be quite interesting though.... you have no idea what could possibly be happening right now. We are assured of a very interesting 5 weeks though.
What do mean the mask didn't help? Trump hardly ever wears a mask and he relentlessly mocks Biden for wearing a mask including at the debate.
All of these Republicans who have tested positive have been seen in crowded mask free events in the past week.
Here try this... Iowa's not too bad at $1,600 a day. And no, it doesn't matter if they don't charge it like a nightly fee. You spend more time there and your going to owe more money.

Fake virus? Explain that one.
But yeah I wouldn't put it past some people to figure out a way to play the it up and make everyone else a villain who doesn't drop their lives to show overt sympathy.
But yes, a mask doesn't help when you don't wear it in high risk situations, won't argue that.
Simply because a person "postulates an idea" does not mean it has any veracity. Just look at all of your posts! I believe @madguy30 has admirably dispatched your ridiculous final sentence. Cheers!

That's an average of all days - the total bill divided by the number of days. It is not broken down by day, as my numbers were, and as is directly relevant to your original post.
Your posit was that hospitals milk keeping people inpatient for profit. Yes, they get additional money for additional days, but at a lower reimbursement rate than the initial day. A hospital would much rather have ten new patients for a one-day stay, than one patient for ten days.
When inpatient census is at peak numbers, it is a financial disadvantage for the hospital to keep people for longer stays than to kick them out and take new inpatients. If that weren't true, there'd be no such thing as same-day surgery - they would milk every tonsillectomy they could.
The simple fact is that your snarky "yeah, hospitals just draw everything out as long as they can for money" is untrue. They make less and have to spend more fighting insurance companies on medical necessity for longer stays.

Efficacy and Safety of Hydroxychloroquine vs Placebo for Pre-exposure SARS-CoV-2 Prophylaxis Among Health Care Workers
This randomized clinical trial evaluates the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine to prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in health care workers with exposure to patients with COVID-19 at 2 hospitals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
If you have an endless line of patients, perhaps. But we all know they don't have an unlimited supply of new patients.
Otherwise, they would be able to give us an estimated cost upfront, like just about any other industry.

I just want to make sure that you realize that that article is talking about it being used as a prophylaxis Not as treatment post infection. Not only that the study was terminated early so it’s basically worthless.
Meaning Among hospital-based health care workers, daily hydroxychloroquine did not prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection, although the trial was terminated early and may have been underpowered to detect a clinically important difference.
TLDR: what you posted is trash.

Wrong hypothesis. Try again. And this time dose your HCQ properly docs.
