I would agree and it’s something I disagree with DeSantis about. There shouldn’t be a nationwide or statewide mask mandate or mandate against mask mandates. It should be moved to the local control

The actual funny part of all this is that all those Bush Republicans who hate Trump are at fault for the country electing Trump. Without Bush’s disaster foreign policy, we don’t get Obama, which Obama led directly to Trump.

Pretty dumb

The original tweeter said Hawley’s amendment was for a Covid vaccine but then the tweeter said many children would die if schools can’t mandate all vaccines, but the tweeter mentioned Hawley was only talking about Covid vaccine.

He seems to be a pretty good actor. Could probably be in movies. But he needs to learn how to get a suit jacket tailored. I mean did he just buy it off the rack at JC Penney’s?

Much of a CEO’s big payouts are in the form of stock options which are peanuts in the grand scheme of the overall drug cost. our healthcare system could use some reform and get some costs driven down, but for anyone to say we have the worlds worst healthcare system (for wealthy countries I should add) is just being silly and trying to drive some political narratives towards single payer

Oh, NOW he likes to have choice and is against removing that choice!

The baseball game would make a great Curb Your Enthusiasm episode

Go ahead and thank all those Bush Republicans for us needlessly being there for so long. And what did it actually get us? Obama and Trump could have gotten us out earlier obviously, but both got talked into staying by the war machine Leftover Bushies.

We pay more because we subsidize the rest of the world. Get Most Favored Nationa pricing passes and you would no longer see those other countries mooching off us. Either they would raise their prices or drugs would quite being sold there. The US would also see a drop, but keep in mind, over 90% of US prescriptions are already filled generic. From ncbi While the US IMR disadvantage is widely discussed and quantitatively important, the determinants of this disadvantage are not well understood, hindering policy efforts.2 A key constraint on past research has been the lack of comparable micro-datasets across countries. Cross-country comparisons of aggregate infant mortality rates provide very limited insight, for two reasons. First, a well-recognized problem is that countries vary in their reporting of births near the threshold of viability. Such reporting differences may generate misleading comparisons of how infant mortality varies across countries. specifically, in an unrestricted sample the US has much higher neonatal mortality than any of the European comparisons we analyze (World Health Organization, 2006), whereas our comparably-reported sample suggests that differences in reporting could be driving nearly all of that pattern. just a few things I have previously brought up when talking IMR across different countries.

As long as we’re kicking out the smokers, drinkers, and fat asses too then by all means.

Parts of the US are experiencing this too. I do wonder if the increased Covid-19 hospitalization prevalence in kids is due to a combined RSV/Covid issue. I’ve see reports of dual disease issues with Covid exacerbating the RSV

Ya about 2 1/2 hrs away, but it has slowly crept northward and infection rates are higher here now too. Hospital systems are doing fine, but still doing due diligence and prepping for worst case scenario

Thanks for the link. Not a big fan of cross country survey data, and could’t find information on infant mortality. Many countries classify this differently which affects the overall rate. Innovation and end of life care costs are not broken down either for each country. Most expenditures occur during the final few years of a persons life. I don’t put much stock into this.

We just had Garth at Arrowhead and will soon be having Chiefs games so we are about a week ahead. Whatever KC experiences could be what lincoln/Omaha does

What constitutes Health Care System Performance? I don’t see the qualifiers for performance in the graph

Happens every time…

I actually think some of these people say such stupid stuff to actually try and get suspended so they can then say “see we are being censored”.

This is one of those many instances where the racism card gets played and not warranted. Good on Whitlock for calling the race hustler Crump out. Crump could do better to find the actual racism where it exists, not this.

Yep, you may want to let the lock down forever know this.

TG it’s satire.

you still don’t get it. Maybe just stop trying I guess To me it’s a post about Delta and how different it acts than Alpha in a mitigated/vaccinated area. But the Hosp/death rates are staying down which is good. But hey, keep trying to be outraged by me. It’s really no bother.

Those people would be wrong and are just looking for something to b!^@h and moan about.
