I said mental health due to financial stress. Not mental health on it's own. If you assign connotations to that, that's on you.Because you specifically said 'mental health ' which has it own set of connotations.

Wow. And how much, exactly, do you know about how I prepared and how I lived my life for the last couple decades? How much? Care to share?Well, yes if you did not properly prepare.
A lot of hard working people live pay-check to pay-check. I am happy that I am not one of them, but that doesn't change things for people who do.
In the US, not everyone has or can afford health insurance. Again, I'm fortunate, but it would be wrong for me to dismiss the reality of or blame people who are doing their best.
For once you have over-estimated me.
Find raccoons. Or birds if you're good with a bow/gunWhat if squirrels start social distancing themselves from our yards?

Do you stop going to grocery store and ask grocery store (such as HEB) to deliver food at your front door?
The president met with the CEOs of the big insurance companies recently. Apparently the insurance folks have agreed to waive copays and such for Covid-19 testing and (perhaps?) treatments. They also agreed to NO SURPRISE BILLINGS.Even if you have the insurance, it doesn't mean you can afford your deductible, or that the insurance company will authorize any procedures (and whatever they don't authorize you have to pay out of pocket).
I think US hasn't start major testing may be because the US medical insurance system here.how utterly f**ked up our medical insurance system is.

It may be part of the issue, but it is clear the whole situation has been mishandled from the very beginning.I think US hasn't start major testing may be because the US medical insurance system here.

There has been and currently is a huge amount of testing going on in the US. CDC and HHS among others. And just about all of the pharmaceutical companies are racing for a vaccine. Everyone wants to be the hero.I think US hasn't start major testing may be because the US medical insurance system here.
There is only 1 death in Taiwan. I just can't believe that US can't do as good as Taiwan does.
Taiwan reports first death from coronavirus
Shortly after the team returned, Taiwan began requiring hospitals to test for and report cases. That helped the government identify those infected, trace their contacts and isolate everyone involved, preventing the virus from spreading to the community.
All this happened long before Taiwan confirmed its first case Jan. 21 and the rest of the world became alarmed.
Taiwan also took tough action early. On Jan. 26, five days after it confirmed its first case, Taiwan banned arrivals from Wuhan, earlier than any other country.
Not long after, it did the same for flights from all but a handful of Chinese cities, and only Taiwanese people were allowed to fly in.
After securing its borders, Taiwan used technology to fight the virus. Temperature monitors were already set up at airports after the 2003 SARS outbreak to detect anyone with a fever, a symptom of coronavirus.
Passengers can also scan a QR code and report their travel history and health symptoms online. That data is then given directly to Taiwan’s CDC.
One man who didn’t tell the authorities he had symptoms after he returned from Wuhan and went to a dance club the next day was fined $10,000.
No one can screw someone up like the government can.It may be part of the issue, but it is clear the whole situation has been mishandled from the very beginning.
Personally though, I’ve had enough of this private sector, for-profit medical insurance system. That entire industry ought to go extinct. Time for those folks to get honest jobs.
Yup. It’s right up there with unrestrained capitalism.No one can screw someone up like the government can.
After close to twenty years in our jobs
Eventually the non-retirement savings/severance pay ran out and our time living in the San Francisco area (most expensive in the nation) was up.
