Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

The isolated ones are the ones most at risk and whatever you consider opening up isn't going to change that. Health anxiety? 8.5% of Americans don't have health insurance and there is this new killer virus we can't control. Health anxiety is normal and healthy given the circumstance. Anxiety leads to being proactive. One might isolate to avoid the anxiety, One might wear a mask so they can visit an at risk person. Quit with your fear mongering. That is what's reckless.

Did these people slip through the ACA mandates???
 
It’s why Joe Biden said the other night that he will make sure there is healthcare for everyone (even if you don’t want it and it makes everything more expensive for all working Americans).
That's no surprise.

But still, how are 8.5% or roughly 30 million Americans without healhcare insurance when ACA passed and was designed for these people?
 
For the plan where the young and healthy go back to normal and we isolate the elderly. I say let the elderly do what they want. Every time I've been to a restaurant lately it's full of old people. The only folks who seem to care anymore are on social media and the 24/7 news types who are sucked in the propoganda.

Not to mention certain politicians that don't want to lose their "powers"
 
or they are among the unemployed thanks to the idiots shutting the economy down
It's a good thought. And, I have no idea if this percentage is related to employment.

But, again, I thought ACA was not tied to employment.

Maybe we should get someone involved in this discussion who is seeing young patients every day. . . Someone who has seen many adolescents gain 30-60# over the past 6 months with skyrocketing insulin levels and elevated hgb A1c. . . Someone who listens to the frustrations of parents every day about "virtual" learning . . . Someone who sits with and counsels teenagers who feel hopeless and isolated . . . Someone who had a patient attempt suicide last week "because he can't see his friends" . . . Someone treating staph infections beneath cloth masks . . .

Any ideas?

It’s not but I know it made us cut a few people loose all the way.....if someone switched to full time to PRN..... the company still had to cover them in some way. So we would have to wait 6 months I think to bring them back at PRN level

Well kiddiedoc is not even a virologist.

What does he know? Plus I saw him once wearing jorts so he's obviously a gator fan.

Kiddidoc is just a doctor so your right, he don't know anything. Luther on the other hand is in education so his expertise is broad and extensive on many subjects.

That jorts sighting is troublesome.

the sighting is troubling, but dam if kiddiedoc doesn't have a gorgeous set of gams on him.
