I’ll keep what we have over what Canada has.Yup. It’s right up there with unrestrained capitalism.
I’m ready to give something else a try.

Yeah, I'm struggling with whether to sneak a quick visit to my mom (had a liver xplant last year) before there's more threat in the area, or just stay away to be extra safe. Probably the latter.I’m trying quarantine my mother. And I’m not going to visit her, regardless of if I’m symptomatic or not. She had a kidney transplant a few years ago and is on immunosuppressants.
Agreed. I'm still paying off the foot surgery I had early last year. Deemed "elective", even though there were bone fragments floating aroujnd just chewing up the joint.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).
Reading about the Canadian system, basically you pay over $10,000 a year for health care whether you go to the doctor or not. That is all in the form of taxes. 21 Canadian Medicare Pros and Cons
I mean... I guess we'd do the same with zombies....North Korea seems to have an interesting way of dealing with the crisis.

Which part(s) of those instructions are beyond you?

My next set of client training sessions was cancelled (technically postponed) today due to covid-19. I expect more of the same in the near future.
Thank you for showing your true character. I’ve suspected it for a long time. Now there is no doubt. Good day to you.Tons of inference in these sentences. I do not need to know the details of you life to figure this out.
You worked for 20 years in an area you knew was very expensive yet you did not prepare for the inevitable. And now you are railing about how unfair public healthcare is? Hilarious.
You need to be really careful about thinking your life has been worse than others.
I don’t know the details of the Canadian system. I do know that I worked closely with a Canadian for many years. She always felt their system made more sense than ours. At any rate, nobody says it needs to be modeled on a particular system. But we can definitely do better than we do. What we have is sh*t.Reading about the Canadian system, basically you pay over $10,000 a year for health care whether you go to the doctor or not. That is all in the form of taxes

Over $10k a year. And then there’s the waiting list for diagnostic tests and treatment. Possibly tear your meniscus, and you’re waiting more than a year for your MRI. Then they’ll operate on it when they have the time, which is another year or more. Working in college athletics, I saw plenty of Canadians who had that same story. And worse.Reading about the Canadian system, basically you pay over $10,000 a year for health care whether you go to the doctor or not. That is all in the form of taxes

If that article is accurate, that was the payment per household.
I'm a public high school teacher here in the States, and with my employer's policy, I pay a heck of a lot more than that to cover my household on an 80%-20% policy, and then there's co-pays, and all the stuff that isn't covered. Gotta tell you, the Canadian system sounds really cheap by comparison!
theres a tendency for those in authority, when faced with a problem to '' do something'' anything irrespective of it its likely to have a positive effect or not.The Aus federal government just made an announcement today, they're banning gatherings of more than 500 people as a precautionary measure. Wowza... that's gonna impact alot... concerts, sporting events... the parties I throw...
Yeah I know, I guess it is a case of doing someone that looks like it could help... who knows. But that's going to seriously impact some big events. What about work buildings that hold more than 500 people? What proximity do the people have to be in?theres a tendency for those in authority, when faced with a problem to '' do something'' anything irrespective of it its likely to have a positive effect or not.
clearly your no more at risk an event that has 501 attendees than one with 401 participants. and no less at risk than if there is 50.000
if our 501 people instead assemble elsewhere in groups of say 10, then there was no befit at all. if where they assemble is indoors then they are far more at risk than watching F1 on the streets of Melbourne
what they need to do is ban family visits , sex and BBQs, but that though the most effective will be a) very unpopular and b) impossible to enforce so they are doing what is easy

im not sure its the PEOPLE, rather the media, if people are panicking its because of grossly irresponsible reporting round her the general attitude is its no worse than the flu and ive seen no visible signs of panic, nothing no face masks no panic buying, the pubs are full, the busses are packed, the people of salford are a hardy and pragmatic breedThere's also the thing that people demand the government do something and be seen doing something preferably dramatic. with so many internet 'experts' no government is going to be right whatever they do, then of course it's all politicalised. In the light of recent political events here where it turned out there was so many lies, obfuscation politicking and campaigning it's not surprising people don't know who or what to believe. I've seen a lot of comparing us to other countries with people saying 'look they're doing this why aren't we', which is ridiculous given different demographics, different health systems and at different states of infection and spread.
@Flying Crane , I owe you a sincere apology. I had a heavy day yesterday and was in quite a bit of pain last night. Frankly, I took it out on you. I am sorry for this.Thank you for showing your true character. I’ve suspected it for a long time. Now there is no doubt. Good day to you.
