COVID-19 emails from Nashville mayor's office show disturbing revelation

The coronavirus cases on lower Broadway may have been so low that the mayor’s office and the Metro Health Department decided to keep it secret.

Emails between the mayor’s senior advisor and the health department reveal only a partial picture. But what they reveal is disturbing.

The discussion involves the low number of coronavirus cases emerging from bars and restaurants and how to handle that.

And most disturbingly, how to keep it from the public.

On June 30th, contact tracing was given a small view of coronavirus clusters. Construction and nursing homes were found to be causing problems with more than a thousand cases traced to each category, but bars and restaurants reported just 22 cases.

Leslie Waller from the health department asks, “This isn’t going to be publicly released, right? Just info for Mayor’s Office?"

“Correct, not for public consumption,” writes senior advisor Benjamin Eagles.

A month later, the health department was asked point blank about the rumor there are only 80 cases traced to bars and restaurants.

Reporter Nate Rau asks, “The figure you gave of 'more than 80' does lead to a natural question: If there have been over 20,000 positive cases of COVID-19 in Davidson and only 80 or so are traced to restaurants and bars, doesn’t that mean restaurants and bars aren’t a very big problem?"

Health department official Brian Todd asked five health department officials, "Please advise how you recommend I respond. "

The name at the top of the response is clipped off but you may find the answer unacceptable.

“My two cents. We have certainly refused to give counts per bar because those numbers are low per site.

We could still release the total though, and then a response to the over 80 could be because that number is increasing all the time and we don’t want to say a specific number."

Neither the health department nor the mayor’s office would confirm the authenticity of the emails but councilmember Steve Glover had a Metro staff attorney inquire. Here’s the official answer:

“I was able to get verification from the Mayor’s Office and the Department of Health that these emails are real,” the staff attorney answered.

Glover says this is Metro Nashville orchestrating a cover up.

"They are fabricating information," Glover said. "They’ve blown there entire credibility Dennis. Its gone, I don’t trust a thing they say going forward ...nothing."

Glover says he has been contacted by an endless stream of downtown bartenders, waitresses and restaurant owners asking why would officials not release these numbers?

"We raised taxes 34 percent and put hundreds literally thousands of people out of work that are now worried about losing their homes, their apartments...and we did it on bogus data. That should be illegal," Glover said.

Again, FOX 17 News wasn't told by the mayor’s office this wasn’t true. We were told to file a freedom of information act request.

Which allows us now to ask the question, why are you keeping this from us? Why would you even want to? Its just the real numbers and what could possibly be an honorable motive?

COVID-19’s Other Unnecessary Death Toll

Our bungled national response exposed the fragility of our already broken health care system by keeping people with other fatal diseases from getting treatment

there were 8,300 more deaths from heart disease in five states (New York, led by hard-hit New York City; Massachusetts; New Jersey; Michigan; and Illinois) between March and May,

about 27 percent higher than would be predicted from previous years.

New York City alone saw more than 4,700 excess deaths from heart disease.

As hospitals in New York City were overwhelmed with COVID-19, they were unable to care for anyone else.

This included people suffering from heart failure, complications of cancer or possibly undiagnosed cancer, and other conditions.

There were simply no hospital beds in the entire city.

This betrays one of the greatest dangers of our 21st-century American health care system:

the very low margins within hospitals.

Empty hospital beds don’t make money.

When medical care is monetized,

the effect is closure of low-income hospitals, such as Hahnemann Hospital in Philadelphia in 2019, and

hundreds of low-income urban or rural hospitals across the country.

Even prior to COVID-19, many hospitals were running on razor-thin margins.

We would get nearly daily e-mails that bed capacity was full, that dozens of patients were being housed in the emergency department for hours to days.

When we did not have available hospital beds anywhere in a region or state,

when we hired only the bare minimum level of trained staff to “maintain profits,”

we had no elasticity for handling a mass disaster, such as a pandemic.

COVID-19 literally forced us to make decisions about whose lives are more important—

those suffering from the virus, or those with other serious chronic illnesses?

America’s health care system is like a diseased lung:

no compliance,

no room to expand such that it can take in enough oxygen to help it breathe.

it has no elasticity, if the United States had a rapid, organized pandemic response on a national level,

this not only would have saved tens of thousands of lives from the COVID-19 virus itself,

but also would have given people with serious chronic conditions,

including heart disease and cancer, a better chance of getting the treatment they need for survival.

When the pandemic is over,

it will be clear that the hundreds of thousands of deaths from COVID-19 will be just the tip of the iceberg.

USDA and Meatpacking Industry Collaborated to Undermine Covid-19 Response, Do ents Show

Hundreds of emails obtained by Public Citizen and American Oversight offer a rare inside look at the

meat industry's power and access to the highest levels of government.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the meatpacking industry worked together to downplay and disregard risks to worker health during the Covid-19 pandemic

a week before President Donald Trump issued his controversial executive order in April to keep meatpacking plants open—

overriding closure orders from local health officials—

a leading meat industry lobby group drafted a proposed executive order that was strikingly similar to Trump's directive.

"While we knew that the meatpacking industry was lobbying the Trump administration to take steps to protect its profits regardless of the cost to workers' lives, the degree of collaboration these do ents show is astounding,"

"As outbreaks continue to emerge in meatpacking plants, it is stunning to see the

cavalier at ude officials took to the health and safety of workers in the early part of the pandemic,"

23 states reported Covid-19 outbreaks in meat and poultry processing facilities, with

16,233 cases and 86 deaths reported in 239 facilities.

Fully 87% of those cases occurred among racial or ethnic minorities.

the prioritization of profit over people.

The poultry industry, already the target of a massive class-action lawsuit alleging some of

the biggest animal agriculture corporations in the nation conspired to suppress worker wages and benefits,

has been roiled by accusations of worker mistreatment during the pandemic.

Tyson really aren't going to give a about us at all,"

Lockdown.

If we compare the waves of infection in countries with strict lockdown policies to countries that did not impose lockdowns (Sweden, Iceland …), we see similar curves. So there is no link between the imposed lockdown and the course of the infection. Lockdown has not led to a lower mortality rate.

If we look at the date of application of the imposed lockdowns we see that the lockdowns were set after the peak was already over and the number of cases decreasing. The drop was therefore not the result of the taken measures. 11
As every year, it seems that climatic conditions (weather, temperature and humidity) and growing immunity are more likely to reduce the wave of infection
