Did any of the COVID patients suffer "twindemic" having both COVID and Influenza? Were flu patients dying having not been treated for the flu (which we seem to have some solution for) being left alone and ventilated? Where are the ventilators now? Have we ran analysis on the logs from those machines to see how they operated for any event where a patient under ventilation had died?

I don't remember when the covid+ patients bonuses paid to hospitals started, but that could be the explanation, or much of it, for the over 100% increase in hospital inpatient deaths. $9,000 per + patient, right? That would be enough to prompt an intense focus on getting every body tested.

You're great Jessica. I'm glad there are people who are at least as obsessive as I am when it comes to understanding what happened. We are focusing on different phases of the pandemic here, but your articles are very insightful. Thank you.

So many questions still left unanswered.

There is definitely more to be done in the hopes of determining who died of what. Like Arne wrote here big bonuses help determine coding and money can slow or halt investigation. I'm not sure we will ever know but what E.Woodhouse says is true from my anecdotal experience. For everyone I know who has had covid, about 40 people, only one has died. He was late 60's, obese, chronic lung disease, and diabetes. More investigation is needed but I don't know if it will ever happen. By the way I kind of liked the typo, "More importantly, do they substantially help explain New York City’s lockdown-triggered spring 2020 MORALITY event?"

From Cuomo to Newsom, there are idiots from one side of the country to the other who certainly did not help.

While reading this all I could think about was this interview: https://off-guardian.org/2020/06/11/watch-perspectives-on-the-pandemic-9/ .

It should have been clear to absolutely everyone in medicine that providing incentives for positive tests, ventilator use (later remdesivir) and deaths invited evil. Didn't guarantee it, but did invite it.
