I feel the same way. I missed an entire week of work with that flu. I’ve maybe taken two sick days in the 12 years since. I didn’t even miss work with symptomatic COVID. That flu was like nothing I have ever experienced. Hurt to stand up, hurt to lay down, miserable to be awake, and miserable to try and sleep. Each hour felt like an entire day of misery.

Sounds like my experience. I was in college and had a test and they made me show up symptomatic AF. Even with a doctors note saying I was contagious. Different times.

Sure. Now let the patient get the bill when insurance declines to pay. Hope there's enough bankruptcy lawyers available.

This has been a sore spot for me since well before Covid arrived on the scene. Because of government bureaucracy, I've been declined treatment after treatment after treatment for my legs over the years as insurance won't pay because it's not recognized for my condition.

The problem? I'm not diabetic. When I lived in the southeast Medicaid region, I wasn't sick enough to get the right treatment even though my left leg was falling off.

And even if the federal bureaucracy got out of the way, you'd then have to let each of the Medicaid regions decide what treatments they'll allow to be charged for. Private insurance makes their decisions based on what their regions Medicaid office covers.

It's not just as easy as flipping one switch and letting doctors, well, doctor. Too many layers of administrative slime and too many players with money in the game for us to move as quickly as is needed.

All forms of medical treatment should be allowed regardless of whether the FDA "thinks" they are ineffective. If a doctor feels the medication would benefit his or her patient, they ought to be able to prescribe it be it Ivermectin, HCQ, monoclonal antibodies or whatever. All of this business of denying access to medications is bureaucratic overreach.

It's playing out exactly as they planned.

Tell me what Biden has done? It's been a year for him. Which is the same time Trump had.

Trump got three vaccines created, bought, and started distribution. As well as distributing resources, getting nation wide testing started, all while being called racist for addressing this issue.

Biden has.....punted to the states.

That isn't very fair. It's only taken him a year to start sending test kits and masks to people, just in time for them to be useless. His is whipping this virus Jack.

Interesting read

Why Are Vaccinated Americans Still Worrying About COVID?

Lol "More COVID-related mandates in deep blue urban areas will not convince rural Republicans to take the disease more seriously, it turns out."

According to this article this statement seems unlikely. "vaccines are the best way to free yourself from the worst outcomes of this disease—and regaining some control is the first step to regaining normalcy." Seeing as how the article points to the most worried being the vaxxed, or the vaxxed being the most worried, I would say being vaxxed in and of itself does nothing to return to normalcy for those worried about it. As pointed out they are vaxxed and worried. What else do they need to see? And why would the vax, they already have, return them to normalcy when they arent yet back to normal anxiety after being vaxxed.

When I went to Guatemala I was worried about catching some disease, noticeably Hepatisis, I forget which type. So I got that vaccine. And then I was no longer worried, even while in the jungles and towns of Guatemala for 2 weeks.

They’re worried about the unvaccinated giving them the virus they are vaccinated against.
