In reply to the discussion: We are about to reap the consequences of our shitty, dumb healthcare [View all]Warpy
(111,255 posts)There was an unintentionally funny article in the WaPo last night titled "Coronavirs isn't that bed," written by one of the evacuees from the Diamond Princess, a man who became ill on the flight back here. It seems to have taken him a while to realize he needed to go to the contaminated area in the back of the plane, meaning he's one of those iron men who hates to go to the doctor or admit he's human.
He presented with a deep, bronchial cough and temperature of 103. He describes having chest tightness, having to fight a bit to breathe, along with coughing fits. People who get this are going to be knocked down with it, meaning workforces that got "lean and mean" are going to realize that keeping things going with overworked skeleton crews is a flawed model.
And yes, we are going to see the deep flaws in our insane patchwork of health insurance and limited care. We just have to hope that enough billionaires get it so they and their puppet party get out of our way.
