"He (Senator Jensen) noted that some states, including his home state of Minnesota, as well as California, list only laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 diagnoses. So, no “presumptive” or “probable” diagnosis in these cases, they are confirmed by laboratory tests."Tests can be flawed, either false positive or false negative. My understanding is that one will test positive for COVID if they have *any* coronavirus, not just THE coronavirus everyone's worried about. Also, it's possible that receiving a flu shot in the past 10 years will result in a false positive test for antibodies. So those things need to be looked into."Jensen said he thinks the overall number of COVID-19 cases have been undercounted based on limitations in the number of tests available."I think Jensen is a shill. So we're even. Opinions are like *****. Everyone has one, and they stink."There have been no public reports that hospitals are exaggerating COVID-19 numbers to receive higher Medicare payments."So what? So the media hasn't covered or published reports? Doesn't mean it's not happening."Jensen said he did not think that hospitals were intentionally misclassifying cases for financial reasons. But that’s how his comments have been widely interpreted and paraded on social media."I think Jensen is a shill. So we're even. Opinions are like *****. Everyone has one, and they stink."Recent legislation pays hospitals higher Medicare rates for COVID-19 patients and treatment, but there is no evidence of fraudulent reporting."Yeah right. No evidence FOR YOU TO KNOW ABOUT.
