Renton 20177 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 If there is any upside to this, is that the ignorance, lies, and bullshit from Trump is about to be exposed big time. The US is heading for catastrophe with their pathetic healthcare and social system. If they still vote for him after this, they can go fuck themselves.

Tom 13996 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 There has to be alarm bells ringing, there’s a pandemic that will kill a great amount of people as it’s $3500 to get tested for the virus and at the same time you’ve got people like Biden campaigning against universal healthcare.

ewerk 29211 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 You do have to wonder about the testing going on. My wife was unwell on Saturday with a cough, fever and breathing difficulties. She rang the out of hours helpline and was told it was probably just her asthma playing up. Turns out it was just that but they certainly didn't seem to be taking it too seriously.

She works in the stroke ward of a hospital and she's worried about spreading anything. She has just come back from the US and is worried after she started with some symptoms.

Ayatollah Hermione 13501 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I, for one, will certainly enjoy the irony of the generation who calls everyone younger than them “snowflakes” dying out to a virus that does the most damage to them. It’s just evolution reacting to overpopulation by thinning the herd. If they are weak, they must go. It’s beautiful when you sit back and consider it; natural selection in motion, the cosmic balancing of the scales. On one side, the youthful, the free and strong. On the other one, all the old racist cunts who have tried to sell everyone else down the river who are at risk. You love to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 20177 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 So my colleague is telling me a wifey in Sunderland is critically ill with it.

I heard it’s £3500 per test, although that might be bullshit. If it is you can see why they won’t be testing every man, woman and child with a sniffle. Half the country would want a test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 29211 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) The cost is nowhere near that, it came from an American who paid around $3200 but that was US prices and included tests for flu and a number of other respiratory illnesses. It isn't costing the NHS that. Edited March 10, 2020 by ewerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
