    What I’m saying is Democrats and Republicans are opposed to making healthcare free and not tied to employment, even during a pandemic. HRC shows how out of touch she is by suggesting that we re-open the healthcare exchanges, which will cost even more money for those who have now lost their employment and are trying to keep a roof over their head. Joe Biden, as recently as yesterday, said that he’s opposed to free healthcare for everyone and that it wouldn’t help now anyway.

    Meanwhile, the WHO is saying that providing fully funded universal healthcare and removing financial barriers is the key to stopping the coronavirus spread.

    I’m just glad this there’s a possibility of all of that being taken seriously by more politicians than Bernie Sanders. Because we need it.

    That doctors and clinicians are succumbing to the virus is beyond a tragedy, as many of these dedicated individuals are dying unnecessarily, as a result of the no-testing and no-PPE fiascos.

    Yet a far greater toll in numbers is the temporary loss of clinicians to infections and sickness. This is the other poorly recognized exponential growth curve: As each doctor, nurse, respiratory therapist, paramedic, and patient-care person takes care of tens to hundreds of patients at any given time, the loss of even one of these individuals has a dramatic ripple effect on the shortage of professionals trained to care for affected patients, no less the non-COVID-19 usual patient mix. No number of accelerated medical school graduations (which are being announced) can compensate for these losses, not just by numbers but also by experience.

    The handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States will go down as the worst public health disaster in the history of the country. The loss of lives will make 9/11 and so many other catastrophes appear much smaller in their scale of devastation. Perhaps what we in the medical community will remember most is how our country betrayed us at the moment when our efforts were needed most.

    That reminds us what a dangerous, malign figure Trump is....aside from his pandemic disasters.

    Of course we all knew this. But even if we accept it as true, the question remains, why hasn’t trump been able to restore the stockpile in 3 years.
    I think Acosta was actually trying to ask that in response to trump yesterday, but trump shut him off.
