I thought the fed's said they would reimburse hospitals for COVID deaths

While we do want to help hospitals dealing with a lot of COVID cases, there was an article last week where NY added around 3000 deaths to their COVID count because they were "suspected to have died from it". I fear hospitals may be over-reporting for that reason. PA just reduced their death count by a few hundred of 'suspected cases' because of questionable reporting. I know my is counted as a COVID case, even though she tested negative 3 times. The counts just seem....strange.

Has your mom recovered?

Nope, she is still doing breathing treatments at home multiple times per day. She got one of those finger clamp things to monitor oxygen levels, and she's down 4% from a week ago. She saw 2 doctors this week and had a CT scan of her lungs again, and one doctor ordered her not to leave her house for 6 weeks unless she has to go to the hospital again. She's still in pretty bad shape where taking a shower requires her to rest for a few hours after because that exhausts her so much.
