  Hospital staff charging $21,000 for an ICU Hospital Bed

  Hospital beds and medical supplies face enormous pressure with the ongoing pandemic. This article indicates that hospital staff were charging over $21,000 for an ICU hospital bed, a scheme that was broken up by the Peruvian police. If one hospital has been caught, how rampant could this practice be? Also, how can the average Peruvian afford such astronomical prices? The fees and the fact that people paid them show the disparity in healthcare access between Peruvians of means and those without.

  What I thought (or now think) about who or what is the cause of this current virus.

  I think that COVID-19 was made in a lab. Not only do I think it was made in a lab but I think it was tied into an Election. Which caused certain things to happen which caused the result of the election. Therefore COVID-19 was made and used to corrupt America and I think it is tied into bioterrorism and biochemical warfare. That is what I think and still think COVID-19 is and was.
