    Australia has 198 cases per million people
    Tested 113,615 (1 per 216)

    Tested 316,664 (1 per 161)

    United States 648 cases per million people

    Think again about that comment.

    Just imagine articles like this in the future when uninsured Covid patients are being sent to jail for unpaid medical bills.

    https://features.propublica.org/med...-decide-who-gets-arrested-coffeyville-kansas/

    Just remember when unemployment continues to rise and the tens of millions of Americans that are uninsured, or those with skeleton health insurance policies that barely cover their medical debt, have to file bankruptcy, that it will be the existing working class tax payers that will be footing the bill for a broken system.

    GOP Politics is rich people telling middle class people to blame poor people for the nation's problems, while ignoring the system in place that pits fellow Americans against fellow Americans.

    https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/the-new-bill-collector-tactic-jail-time.html

    Even if there was no jail time, it'd still be a broken system that existing working class tax payers are stuck paying with inevitable bankruptcy declarations. These bankruptcies are covered by tax dollars, which eats into the federal budget on other programs.

    Again, all to support a broken healthcare system where the healthcare will result in potentially 100-200K deaths, not including those with other complications, who won't receive the medical care needed to survive.

    I mean when the indentured require ER hospital care, many non-profit hospitals collect tax money from county and city budgets to cover their healthcare costs. Again, another example of tax payers supporting a sub-optimal healthcare system.

    Not enthused with Fauci...

    Nation's top coronavirus expert Dr. Anthony Fauci forced to beef up security as death threats increase
    https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/01/politics/anthony-fauci-security-detail/index.html
    Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country's top medical expert on the coronavirus pandemic and a member of President Donald Trump's coronavirus task force, is facing threats to his personal safety and now requires personal security from law enforcement at all times, including at his home, a source confirms to CNN.

    A law enforcement official told CNN that the Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General, the agency's law enforcement arm, asked the US Marshals Service for assistance following threats to Fauci. The Marshals then deputized HHS officers to act as personal security for the doctor.

    The Washington Post first reported the threats to Fauci and the increased security.

    A source also confirmed to CNN last week the presence of several members of the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department stationed at all times around Fauci's home in the district. The source added the stepped up visible police presence was a response to growing threats to Fauci's safety, though the source of the threats was not identified.

    During the White House coronavirus task force briefing with reporters on Wednesday, Fauci was asked whether he or White House coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx, who also serves on the task force, had received threats of any kind or whether they had been assigned a security detail. He said he was not able to answer.

    "Anything that has to do with security detail I would have to have you (ask your question) to the inspector general of HHS," he said, referencing the Department of Health and Human Services.

    Fauci's response was quickly interrupted by Trump, who stepped up to the podium to say the nation's most visible infectious disease expert doesn't require protection.

    "(He) doesn't need security, everybody loves them," said Trump. "Besides that, they'd be in big trouble if they ever attacked."

    However, as Fauci's profile in the pandemic crisis has grown, so has the concern for his welfare. Fauci's guidance to Trump for the country to remain as locked down as possible to help control the virus spread has not earned fans among some fervent right-wing voices.

    Fauci was among the health advisers on Trump's team encouraging a continuation of the current guidelines after the President heard from business leaders and some conservative allies that the restrictions were more damaging than the virus itself.

    In fact, Trump's decision to extend those guidelines came after Fauci and Birx gave a strong presentation with the new models that showed 100,000 to 200,000 people could die, a source familiar with the President's decision told CNN.

    Again, when trump is not bragging about imaginary facebook followers or running it as a campaign rally, he is dispensing lies during these daily "Coronavirus briefings"...

    Fact check: Trump again misleads on ventilator shortages and coronavirus timeline at off-topic briefing

    Don't worry. Spaghetti armed and obese pink p***y hat antifa members don't actually have enough discipline to leave their comfort zones.
