Why should an insurance company cover a pre-existing condition? Should your car insurance company cover an already wrecked car? Or pay you for your already missing front end? Of course not. Blaming the insurance company is one way. Without getting political, there could be another way to give medical care to people. Especially considering sooo many people never have any plan to pay for their medical bills. This just makes doctors and hospitals pass on the bill to the paying typically affluent consumer causing health care costs to go up to people who actually pay for it. Lets make EVERYONE pay for it. |

if average Joe can get the vaccine by April, I could see something like your talking about in place for the summer concerts. And if successful, maybe full NFL stadiums in September?

So if they could get rapid testing into homes where you could essentially test your whole family woth one test wouldn’t that put a halt to this?

Sure. Ethics don't matter when all you care about is making a profit.
Doesn't sound like the greatest model for companies that provide health insurance in a society where healthcare costs more than literally almost anyone can afford without insurance, though, does it? |

The irony...all summer long we have heard "we need to be like Europe". Now Europe is locking down and people are saying "well, they never really enforced things like masks in Europe".
Here's the take. The only safe thing you can do is stay in your house, period. Don't go anywhere. Don't associate with anyone. More people are wearing masks around the globe than ever in history yet cases are shooting up faster than ever. We keep hearing that younger people are "super spreaders" even though there a lot of studies that say quite the opposite. Especially young children. You can wear a mask. You can wash your hands. You can socially distance. But that is all proving at this point anyway to have a minimal though better than nothing impact. There isn't an easy answer and as many medical professionals warned "just wear a mask" is not the answer. I think it's propagated a safe feeling that was false. The media does not help at all but I won't get into that. The other side of it is you cannot shut down the economy again. I think assignment of blame is getting placed in places that are convenient or otherwise easier to blame such as bars and restaurants. That may be the case in some parts of the country but not the case in others. I may very well have gotten Covid from a restaurant or the gym. Then again I may have gotten it from the grocery store. We automatically rule out one because of "masks" when the reality may be that the mask does not help as much as we think. I will say I was in the grocery store more than the gym or a restaurant in the prior week or so to my getting Covid. |
