Im sorry that your post in getting less attention than you think it should have.This is an example of how the media controls minds.
I don't pay any attention to the media, I pay attention to things I think matter, and this thread is an example of everyone looking one way while what really matters was somewhere else - the next epidemic/pandemic which everyone knew would come but the media was not interested in.
The media aims to confuse, to polarize, to end meaningful discussion and to focus on details so the big picture gets ignored. A year ago people were arguing about which party was worse or better for the economy. I opened the thread on how the economy at that time actually worked and it sank without trace.
People wanted details and people wanted to argue.
Maybe it isn't the fault of the media, maybe people just want to feed their egos, just like how we get the politicians we deserve.
If no one posts I'll let this thread sink into the depths, nobody really cares that much about why we were unprepared, just about what they can blame Donald Trump for, not that there's ever much choice, right now we have three defective candidates to choose between - happy choosing!
Just gonna say, one of those candidates would have made a coordinated effort to improve healthcare in the US, and the one in office made an effort to remove our preparedness.If no one posts I'll let this thread sink into the depths, nobody really cares that much about why we were unprepared, just about what they can blame Donald Trump for, not that there's ever much choice, right now we have three defective candidates to choose between - happy choosing!

Articles were shared saying the us WAS prepared.
So ....
IMHO, Andrew Yang sunk without a trace because his message did not resonate with the voters on the left.
That is just the plain simple truth.
Have you ever considered that the greater the access to quality preventative care the fewer hospital beds are actually needed in any given population?
That chart tells me the U.S. is doing very well with preventive care, not that it's doing poorly.
hahaha.Have you ever considered that the greater the access to quality preventative care the fewer hospital beds are actually needed in any given population?

That is not something you can assume from the data. You might as well assume fewer beds are needed because lots of people can not afford to stay on them.
I am sure North Korea does not have that many hospital beds per 1000 people yet it is probably safe to assume their preventive care is not that stellar either......
hahaha.
Wait, you are serious. our preventive care is awful. If you are uninsured, your access to it can be essentially cut off.
Guess how much that costs in most developed nations.....$0.I am uninsured atm, but for 70 dollars I can see my doctor (an amount most people who fall through the cracks can manage) and if I wanted to drive to the teaching hospital based on income its free for me to be seen there.
So whether minor or serious even without insurance I'm not without essential care. April will be the first month in a while that I'm no longer uninsured...

It costs me over $100 and I'm insured.
