You are basically correct, so asset transfer then takes place intentionally thru various means to make the potential Medicaid receiptant then qualify for Medicaid as being insolvent, ie saving heirs inheritance and the need to support their relative..

75,000 deaths so far. The peak has been flattened so there will be rooms at hospitals. Plugging along at about 2,000 deaths per day- so perhaps we have another 40,000+ deaths in the next 30 days. More people want to get out of their houses every day which will cause spikes in numbers of cases.

People are fortunate if they can telework. It just seems like time to find projects at home to do.

There is a great big bill coming for everyone soon.

Until there is a vaccine there are no good answers.

I understand they can go back a number of years to recover assets, 5 or10? Don't recall exactly. Tough system to game.

Yes, its 5 years, but one thing everybody should understand, we all are going to die, and our assets are going to go somewhere.
Chose wisely.

I'm pretty sure it didn't come out of the water (chlorine) or from within their four walls (unless common air circulation a'la legionnaires disease in ventilation ducts which could be checked by seeing if an entire building became ill). It's pretty well accepted that close interaction is required to transmit the virus. More and more research and analysis is needed. It's best to not sequester data from the researchers and officials that need. Look what's happening with young kisd and the severe rash that is being studied to determine if it's covid related. I hope the people trying to figure this out are not crying, unless it's for all the souls being taken prematurely.

California's first day of venturing into relaxing (Ph I) is tomorrow. Thus, my wife and I went to town today to the store for supplies to last up to 2 weeks. We also went to a nursery to get one or two more plants to fill holes in the garden. What we saw was rather disappointing. At both stops a majority of customers wore no masks and completely ignored distancing from others, including us.
I can only imagine the woman and her 4 children all less than 10, the 3 different senior women, 6 senior men, 3 senior couples, and several singles and couples of many ages were not sick and did not think anyone else was sick with covid around them. The handful of masked shoppers and all the workers at the stores were masked up and respected space.
I can't figure why some take it upon themselves to potentially be the death-dealer to themselves or others. Is there anything that is respectful that one can say to these people? As cases and deaths are rallying to highs (not total, but a better statistical tool, the 5 day moving average) seems a majop % of people are doing nothing to prevent becoming a statistic.
I feel like abandoning the mask and pull out our particulate respirators. I digress but will keep those fresh for wien the upcoming spike occurs.

I look at it this way, we all have had time to plan ahead, some may have extra food to use this summer some might of done or will do better to casket shop. Im not sure anyone really knows.

Its open season now, the next month should be interesting. Unfortunately this just lets the rest of the world who thinks us Americans are stupid to further there opinion.

This has been my experience too. I tell friends I'm not really afraid of the virus as much as I am of stupidity.

And there seems to be plenty going 'round.

As an unabashed ignorant, please share with me/us what you think we don't know/understand about the above that warrants this "breakout" you mention.

1. Everything does not have a simple answer
2. Gravity appears to be simple, but few can precisely explain its true origin, its often just described only as a "natural phenomenon"
3. Not giving a simple answer when speaking to the masses considering the lowest common denominator viewer, should by itself not be a disqualifier
4. Requiring simple answers can be fraught with unintended consequences.
5. Fauci by most accounts is smarter and more knowledgeable then me, hard for me to judge him on infectious diseases.

I believe most government employees (and I learned this early in my career) are on a short leash when talking about most any subject. Anything that can be taken as fodder is generally prefaced by words similar to my experience, I believe, etc. seldom are direct quotable substantive talking notes provided.
A great homage to the skill is contained in the song "sidestep" from the musical The Best lil'orehouse in Texas.

That sounds great. Not everyone out there has bought into the hype . What is more disappointing is the people that so willingly bent over and let the government run a train on them.

NO: but lawyers had no problems filing case-actions for some of the drugs issued for that.
I'm betting, when this finally clears up, there'll be more lawsuits then deaths.
The "snowball" is already rolling at present.
