bob dobbs is dead posted:not one person has died under 10. only a few of those under 10 have even needed oxygen or ventilators. its your parents only you need to worry about, your nieces and nephews or whatever will outlive you as usual That's good to know. Ornamental Dingbat posted:Holy poo poo- This article might literally be about my Mom- she arrived at Tenerife a week ago with a group of friends and we haven't talked since. I think that's the same hotel where a couple of Belgians had to stay in quarantine and they're already back home after testing negative? But yeah, call your mom.

The main issue Americans have with healthcare is that while most agree the fees are bullshit they're horrified at how much the Federal government could make it worse. We've been conditioned to basically assume the opposite of whatever it says.

The gruesome US healthcare system combined with a work culture utterly intolerant of sickness absence could have been tailor-made to ensure that the virus spreads as widely as possible.

Yup. My wife is fortunate that she can work from home, but if it gets bad I'm in healthcare so lol I will get it anyway. My plan is to just not go out in public much outside of work if it gets bad. I've stocked up on a ton of beans, rice, and pantry stuff...which I normally do every 3 months anyway, home cook crew represent.

We've been conditioned to basically assume the opposite of whatever it says. Yeah I think one of the things outsiders don't get is how little faith most Americans of all walks of life from left to center to right have in our government. Rugged individualism and rabid partisanship really did a number on our ability to trust each other and our leadership. Not that there haven't been numerous times where that trust was broken, to put it mildly, of course. I tell people about how I stayed in a hospital in South Korea for nearly two weeks with a broken and infected ankle and no one seems to really believe me that it was under US$3k for a lengthy stay and surgeries, or that the quality of care was as good as in the US (my surgeon went to a hard to get into university in Seattle...). They cannot fathom a better system than the one we have. The virus has confirmed cases of community spread in Washington state so it's a matter of time before we're all sick. I expect to catch it but most likely live. It's work shutting down as a precaution and missing paychecks that worries me more and if that's not an indictment on our culture I don't know what else would be. frogge fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Feb 29, 2020 |

Our whole household had influenza b back in December and the 6 month old twins pretty much we unaffected outside of plugged noses. And it was only a couple days vs mom + me being completely floored for nearly a week.
