Maybe he meant that our immune system and vaccines will get better at fighting it as time goes on and responses will be more in line with the flu. Are people still going to die? Yep, people die everyday from flu and common cold complications, but the worst of it should be behind us and time for life to get back to normal.
...and playing it up like you do only causes fear and panic. We also don't know which direction swine flu, bird flu, even the common flue will tend to, but there is no "sky is falling" mentality around those.
Well I wouldn't say cold-it kicked my butt hard for 3 weeks, high fever, severe weakness, same for others who got it. No cold has ever done that-but I agree with the sentiment and have never been for any mandates of any kind. Your body, your health, your choice.
And how concerned are you about your fellow man? Are you concerned enough to mask up? How much do you donate of your income to help the downtrodden? Do you donate a portion of your free time to charitable causes? Have you adopted a starving, abandoned child?
On an age adjusted basis Florida is doing better than California. Florida is full of retirees spending their savings enjoying themselves. California is full of a bunch of 20-somethings hoping to strike it rich.
Yeah, I fell for the official line for the first few months and even got the J&J shot but have moved on. COVID is over. The US should be a leader but is instead a laggard. There is no reason not to let Novac Djokovic play at the US Open. He’s a healthy 35-year old who just won Wimbledon.
Yep. Gotta love it when people in the UK and EU complain about how Apple “gouges” them on Macs and iPhones compared to US prices. How do they think they get their “free” healthcare and college degrees?
Exactly. It isn’t March 2020 anymore. We should drop all testing and quarantine requirements immediately. It’s time to move on. Omicron is just something we need to live with, like the cold or flu.
You don't have free healthcare in the UK. How do you think the services, R&D, and salaries in the profession are paid for? Magic? The money comes from the taxpayers, which is put into the government's budget. A true monopoly is cheaper than a socialist healthcare like the UK system... The problem in the U.S is government interference in competition and price controls that raise the cost for most people.
You pay zero dollars?
I mean I completely agree that the insurance companies are corrupt, don't get me wrong.Yes, I pay zero dollars. My employer pays for it, in full. Continue using your debit and credit cards, thank you.
And yes, insurance companies negotiate prices HIGHER than the cash rate. Higher. Not lower. The hospital and the insurance company are both looking to turn a profit here, and with one of those parties it's nigh impossible to do without prices being inflated. A cash paying customer will pay many orders of magnitude less than the invoiced amount of every service.
Hospitals and Insurers Didn’t Want You to See These Prices. Here’s Why. (Published 2021)
Getting simple medical care at some hospitals can cost more with insurance than without.www.nytimes.com
The big graphic they use... Colonoscopy, $1463 with Cigna, $2144 with Aetna...... $782 with no insurance at all.
The way to rectify it lies solely in removing the profit motive. No other avenue exists.
Are you serious? Masks were to present other avenues of infection. Until 2019 the WHO said masks were useless against respiratory infections.
Read it again it is stated as “Foegen Effect” theory, but hey we can discuss till the cows come home on the many variables because in your theory where everyone wears masks properly, no fitting for an N95 needed here, I guess the medical team has been wasting time, money and resources to get staff fitted for years or maybe your acceptance is to pacifier your fear that no human is immortal. Keep up the fear I am sure aliens are coming too or probably here to annihilate human. 😝
