Just found out from my wife’s brother, that he’s had coronavirus type symptoms for 13-ish days and hasn’t been tested.
His Dr. doesn’t think he needs it as he had no fever.
Lives in upper Wisc. His wife also now has symptoms.
Testing or not testing doesn’t trouble me ( you can have it and be asymptomatic) as much as what they are going to do with any vaccine or cure.
It seems to me, whatever they come up with, they have to give it to everybody damn near at the same time.
I remember back in the day as a little kid, getting a shot then a couple of years later getting the medicine on a sugar cube...both to fight polio.
I’m guessing we’d have to do something like that today.
What also troubles me is:
I could find no mention of “health insurance relief” in any of the bills that have been passed so far that deal with this crisis.
I’m betting we go to some sort of “Medicare for all” for those that have been fired\laid off with no insurance for things other than coronavirus.
Gov. Pritzker just issued a “stay at home, except” order in Illinois.
I just might push it to test the constitutionality of all this.
No matter how this turns out I think our Pres. will be politically vulnerable.
“No matter how this turns out I think our Pres. will be politically vulnerable.”
I’m afraid of that, too. There are too many facets and variables involved overall. They’ll have no problem finding (or inventing) words, situations, events, etc., that they can manipulate to be negative.
I thought they made any healthcare coronavirus virus free. Pelosi was trying to get free abortions.
For those that have coverage under their employer, the employer can’t kick them off their insurance for 60 days. Then they would be able to get subsidized insurance through the marketplace.
