My goodness, I've yet to read any fatalities of those In their teens.
I wonder whether It was "directly" related to the virus, or If he/she had a preexisting Illness that contributed to the cause of death.

Can't find the story anywhere online, but I heard it on my local news station. They said he wasn't accepted to a hospital because he didn't have insurance.

Quote:They said he wasn't accepted to a hospital because he didn't have insurance.That's appalling.
Hospitals have a duty of care to provide medical treatment to those In need, Irrespective of whether the patient has Insurance. In my view, they were partly responsible for the death.

Not in the United States they don’t. The US bases everything on capitalism and business. Even though in Canada we have free medical care, it is absolute shit and many Canadians (especially those who are more wealthy) travel to the United States to use THEIR health care, even though it costs a lot. This shows something true about life: You get what you pay for.
Lol

I didn't realize how bad the medical sector Is In the US.
In my country, regardless If you're a private or public patient, the same level of treatment Is provided. Of course, pending on availability, private patients get to choose their own doctor and there's minimal waiting periods with surgical needs.

I'm fed up with this goddamn corona. Can't wait until it stop.

Can`t wait until it stops. I think it stops after 3 months.

The government In my country, has actually predicted this.
Personally, I believe It will take a lot longer for the virus to entirely clear.

I'm not sure I'd agree. Other viruses have had similar outbreaks. As far as reports and research from China have shown, the spreading has not gone out of control beyond the primary outbreak. The rates of new cases aren't spiralling out of control, and about 80% of new infections are occuring in hubei (the outbreak epicenter) with very few cases in other countries. Most Western countries appear relatively safe, with just a handful of cases appearing. Please also remember, the fatality rates are only about 0.2% for under 40s. Unless you're elderly or have some serious preexisting health conditions, you're likely to recover within a week or two without any complications.
I think media has blown this virus out of proportion. It's something to worry about, but not if you avoid travelling to affected regions and just wash your hands
now look what happened man, it's gone nuts
