Scott 🇮🇱🇺🇦 WILL NOT COMPLYOne in ten US deaths last week were due to pneumonia, flu, or COVID-19.
That's about a 50% higher rate than the CDC's epidemic threshold.
Bottom line: this country is in the midst of a severe respiratory disease epidemic that nobody's talking about.
Voron@escott but hey we have the best medical system in the world right? So everything will be fine I’m sure. That was sarcasm. I do apologize but I have experienced far too many friends & family whose lives have been shattered by our healthcare system while listening to how great it is
@voron Like all other human endeavor, health care in the US is flawed—very seriously, in some ways. I've lost people I love to medical error. But I've also had many more years with those I love thanks to American medicine.
@escott I’ve had a dear friend have to divorce her husband to get on Medicaid to pay for a needed neck operation. I know two others that had to declare bankruptcy due to medical bills. Something that either doesn’t happen in other 1st world democracies or is an extreme rarity.
Add to the above the issues I have personally run into in regards to records being spread all over, which doesn’t happen in national healthcare countries and yeah not a fan

@voron All definitely significant issues, I agree.
