FREAK OUT FREAK OUT FREAK OUT...oh wait it's over.Since the virus started, more people have died in car accidents, from heart attacks, from smoking, from obesity, from being murdered by the chinese government, getting hit by a bus, getting hit by falling coconuts, and thousands of other things nobody ever worries about.I know you're trying to be controversial or some kind of reality star here, but you're just plain wrong.SARS killed 800 people total, maybe a handful in the US.COVID has already killed, not infected, over 15,000 people worldwide and the peak of cases has not even begun in the US, nor has the peak ended in Europe.

(This is a long sentence.)We’re going to be gifted with a healthcare plan we are forced to purchase, and fined if we don’t,which puportedly covers at least 10 million more people, without adding a single new doctor,but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn’t understand it,passed by a congress that didn’t read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a president who smokes,with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes, for which we will be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted social security and medicare,all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese and financed by a country that’s broke.

But there has to be some upper limit on medical costs in the US especially that outcomes at a broad level are not really improving given the headwinds of obesity etc, even if you can make a tenuous case for better outcomes in a given cancer (I spent hours researching this recently).Young doctors will get themselves into mega debt to go to medical school if there is the promise of making it back through the high pay specialities.
