• Why no stories on hospice care in the United States relating to covid19 statistics (hospice has been removed from our common lexicon)? I’ve asked you this before, I know.
• Why no stories on the earnings of publicly held life insurance companies ?
• Why no stories about strategies written about the myriad of home health care providers in this country? What is their role in lessening hospital stays in the last 18 months. Did they play a role?
• Why know detailed explanation of how excess deaths are calculated – what are the excess death estimates for the next 5 years? I assume the data is easily found.
• No actuaries providing keen information and insights?
• Detailed investigations and stories of the traveling nurse industry ? I know several, interesting stories to say the least. Mostly regarding compensation.
• No keen insights from the coroners industry? The inexact science of “cause of death” in the last 100 years.

My landlord owns a funeral home and is a mortician. He told me there hasn’t been any more or less deaths than any usual year and most that died of covid had other obvious conditions. He also said you could tell the doctors who were signing the death certificates as covid vs the ones that weren’t. The only one he said he truly felt like died from covid was a younger woman who was so afraid of covid, she committed suicide! It’s crazy when you talk to actual boots on the ground who have been dealing with it. There’s so much blood on their hands
