I just realized this thread is in N&D and not Garbage Dump, hence all the unnecessary duplicate threads in GD.

It’s the 21st century version of “hey America, why you hitting yourself? Why you hitting yourself?”

I saw a hospital bill today and after insurance and ‘discounts’ the recipient still had over $10,000 to pay


For an overnight stay and MRI


I’d say that why people aren’t going to hospital.


Opens another question only coming to the fore no.

We know how many are dying in hospitals globally.

We’ve no idea how many are dying at home.

Well it seems the US is doing *something*
It's been confirmed that Brazil lost out on equipment they were due to pick up in China due to USA sending over 23 planes and took part of their share; confirmed by the Brazil's health minister as part of his briefing. Not directly backing up the above claim for France but confirms the behavior of USA.

Quote:
The Health Ministry said on Wednesday that the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Brazil rose by 1,119 to 6,836 and the death toll by 39 to 240.

He told reporters that Brazil was having difficulty importing urgent medical equipment because the United States sent 23 planes to China to be filled up and Brazil's share was slashed as a result.

Apparently the most commonly used tests are giving 30% false negatives, so it’s probably already 10M

Current tests also can’t show if you’ve had it and been over it. Least the ones we have.
I’m 100% certain I had it. Everything fits especially it coming hitting you hard then going. For a day or three. Then hitting you again.
My chest is still fucked and throat still feels in a grip. I’ve just gotten used to it but who knows if it’s that lung/bronchial damage reported after the fact

Interesting choice of words from Pence just beforehand:

"...the fewer Americans that contract the Coronavirus; the fewer Americans that have to enter our healthcare system. And that will continue to preserve the capacity in our healthcare economy. So we thank the millions of Americans who've responded in the first two days of the thirty days to slow the spread and I'm just absolutely confident that in the days ahead that every American is going to do their part..."

Even individual states have to worry about the US government swooping in.

Who are these morons demanding that we should punish China? As if such a thing was possible! In a depression? When all of the elite's manufacturing is located there?

Is there even a historical example of a country being punished for unleashing a plague?
