That's already what America's health insurance system was headed towards - corona just accelerates the process.

I was on a work call two weeks ago when someone dropped the off-handed comment that they wished there was something to talk about besides coronavirus and the whole impulse to "just get Brexit over and done with" finally clicked.

It doesn't help that the ACA also already shoves tens of billions at them every year (which I guess isn't that much money any more).

The Brits are doing an exiting new variant of brexit for now. They decided exiting the EU was too old hat, too slow, so they decided to lexit instead.

I wonder how effective it would be to have a bunch of consumer-grade HEPA filters in indoor public environments?

I'm guessing you'd need a high turnover of the air volume to make any real difference
I kinda doubt it'd help much, since it wouldn't affect transmission between people in close proximity, nor fomite transmission. A proper ventilation system designed to stop the spread of pathogens also have fundamentally different designs from ones that are not, so you're not gonna get hospital-grade ventilation without a major rebuild. You're probably right about needing a high turnover, high enough that it actually feels windy inside, which would reduce infections inside the building through keeping everyone away.

Big corporations are essentially states unto themselves, thus what they're doing is state capitalism, which we all know is 100% exactly communism as envisoned by Marx.

I work for a pretty good company so they offer a.....relatively.....cheap plan.

Supposedly full coverage insurance for just me is $50 a week. Which would be fine if the last time I went to the doctor I didn't have $,$$$ in bills I was responsible for because insurance companies can just endlessly "Um Actually...." doctors and pharmacies. Out of the last 3 prescriptions I've been given the insurance company called the pharmacist and refused to allow 2 of them.

I can't cancel it either because I have some health issues I need to get resolved and I'd rather have $20,000 hit my credit instead of $200,000

One time I paid 150 bucks a month for insurance for half a year and I had to cancel it to eat food and get gas to drive to work. Never got to see the doctor because I couldn't afford it.

Now I just pray I don't get sick.

I asked for a small vacation from work of about 4 days because I'm so exhausted with everything happening, but because of how my company works I won't have the opportunity for this to come to fruition for a month. And I'm gonna be having to work more leading up to it.

And our manager is getting transferred while we all freak out over everything.

Otoh, I had some very good conversations with some regulars earlier today, talking about how dumb Wisconsin is to ignore the stay at home advice. We also talked about how dumb the people who aren't wearing masks are for not taking poo poo seriously. It's cathartic to know there actually are other people out there paying attention to the entire country's actions during this pandemic. If only the amount of people who care was closer to 100% rather than like 50%.

so i mentioned a few days ago about my wife going back to work and getting the store ready and stuff. Well it turned out all those shifts were supposed to be voluntary per corporate instructions but her store manager decided to leave that part out when passing on instructions

my wife found out by walking in to the office area to get supplies while the manager was discussing it with his assistant managers and she was like "what the gently caress" and they asked her not to tell anyone

She immediately told everyone else about that bullshit, which led to several people going "hey gently caress you" and quitting on the spot while a couple others are mulling it over. The manager tried to blame her for it and she asked me if she did the right thing and I said "uh yes. That is dangerous poo poo because it means he's willing to conceal information. What happens if someone gets the virus, will he try to hide that too while asking everyone to still come to work?"
