Healthcare should never, never be mixed with for-profit models

What I find especially fascinating in all of this (aside from the quickly this is spreading and how it's disrupting this life that we desperately believe in) is that now utilities are promising not to shut things off, internet and phone companies decided not to throttle shit, interest on credit is being waived, (I know there's more) but it really seems everything can function just fine, if not better, without money. Imagine that! It's not money that makes shit happen, it's people! Fucking capitalist weirdos. We don't have enough money for everyone to have insurance but when shit gets crazy...

Pay your premiums, pay your co-pay, pay a crap ton for meds, pay the doctor's bill, pay the hospital bill, pay the surprise charge bill, pay for this or that specialist who read your xray, get denied for legit medical services and needs and have to fight tooth and nail with the insurers, etc.
IF said people at that hospital are even covered under your "insurance".

Don't forget to pay your tax on all that shit!

Young people everywhere are balking at the precautions, not caring and saying the rude "they're old anyway" and "let the sick die".

Yes. Even full grown ass adults do this shit! A coworker of mine just got back from a week long cruise last week. We were in a meeting a few days ago and he coughed into his hand and wiped it on my arm.

Droplet, it is the word of the century.
In the dictionary it means a very small drop of a liquid. That means it is habbit of human beings to exchange liquid, when it becomes a big problem, I think all the constelation of the social structure will change.

If you have a gaming computer or a powerful computer nevertheless, you can be part of something greater, especially helping some scientists with COVID-19!

By this, I mean that you can join by downloading a software (https://foldingathome.org/iamoneinamillion/) and supplying them with your computer power to help them for being able to find cure for different diseases (COVID-19, cancer, ALS, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, Influenza etc.)

Most recent update: https://foldingathome.org/2020/03/10/covid19-update/ and https://foldingathome.org/2020/03/1...e-doing-and-how-you-can-help-in-simple-terms/

"Folding@home (FAH or F@h) is a distributed computing project for simulating protein dynamics, including the process of protein folding and the movements of proteins implicated in a variety of diseases. It brings together citizen scientists who volunteer to run simulations of protein dynamics on their personal computers. Insights from this data are helping scientists to better understand biology, and providing new opportunities for developing therapeutics."

Just wanted to tell about this, because it's really cool and you can help with COVID-19 at least in some small ways! <3

This deserves a repost.

Meanwhile my family and I have pretty much amped up on all the zombie movies. It's time for us to watch something that allows maximum wailing to let all this stress out.
 
and now president dumbass says he predicted this would be a pandemic before it was declared. see, this is what pisses me off about this whole situation. The fucking president lying on a daily basis, and it's all good. . we can't believe a fucking thing he says, and here we are trying to do what is best while this lying motherfucker spouts shit to gain political points from the ignorant. . .(was pleased that motherfucker was in my dictionary)

I think he got infected too?
 
Our local doctors office only just got the COVID-19 test in yesterday (3/16). Daughter was tested and told the results might be back by Friday, otherwise Monday. Until then she needs to self-quarantine. WTF.

She's been sick for 2 weeks, we just need to know if she had it so we have an idea of who may have been exposed to her. It would also be nice to know if two high risk people in this household dodged a bullet.
