The coronavirus

That article shows major incompetence! Damn near criminal....jeffbr said:“Nobody ever expected a thing like this,” Trump said in a Fox News interview on Tuesday.Trump team failed to follow NSC’s pandemic playbook
The Trump administration, state officials and even individual hospital workers are now racing against each other to get the necessary masks, gloves and other safety equipment to fight coronavirus — a scramble that hospitals and doctors say has come too late and left them at risk. But according to a previously unrevealed White House playbook, the government should’ve begun a federal-wide effort to procure that personal protective equipment at least two months ago.
...
The playbook also repeatedly urges officials to question official numbers about the viral spread. “What is our level of confidence on the case detection rate?” reads one question. “Is diagnostic capacity keeping up?” But across January and much of February, Trump administration officials publicly insisted that their diagnostic efforts were sufficient to detect coronavirus. Officials now privately concede that the administration’s well-documented testing problems have contributed to the outbreak’s silent spread across the United States, and health experts say that diagnostic capacity is only now in late March catching up to the need."The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera." - Yusuf Karsh

Our current system will likely exacerbate the spread of the virus. I know I'll think twice (or 30 times) before seeking any sort of treatment, knowing that the results could lead to bankruptcy.myoung321 said:

This is what the evangelicals have been hoping for for decades. The rapture is here and they believe they’re the chosen ones. Good luck with that. Gonna pray it all away, soon it’ll be zero.myoung321 said:Meanwhile---- Praying away the virus in Oklahoma...

When you run hospitals based on quarterly earnings you can't have profit killers like PPDs just sitting in storage waiting for "just in case". Bottom Line !!!!! Keep those Investor Dividends Up!jeffbr said:

Unless it was selectively left out of the video, her husband should be coordinating with Medicaid and his insurance company. It sounds like the end/start dates got botched and I've seen stuff like this retroactively get adjusted and covered. Her situation is a common one with people coming on and off Medicaid.Spiritual_Chaos said:She Had COVID-19, But No Insurance. Her Treatment Cost $34,972.

Yes, after they denied the virus existed for 2 months and threatened doctors with prison for spreading false rumors who were trying to talk about it.Smellyman said:mace1229 said:

I would be shocked if their numbers weren’t at least 2 or 3 times worse, if not 10 or 200
