Obviously that's a big part of the problem here in the USA. On top of that, most people aren't wearing masks or taking precautions, because there hasn't been a serious enough national campaign to get them to understand how important that is.
As well, tens of millions of Americans who said just a few months ago that they didn't really want a national health care system because they had "great coverage" through their employer, are now finding out why that's a very bad way to get health insurance, because they're now out of work, with nothing.
And here we are, sadly.
The health system another question. I do not know how the hospitalization expense is being handled. If you are on a ventilator for a month are you going to be billed and what happens to those who have to pay astronomical amounts? Maybe someone can enlighten me. I assume anyone over 65 is more or less covered and most are probably in that demographic. I am guessing you are on your own if under 65 unless you have insurance, the hospitals have to be paid somehow and unless the government is picking up the tab, I cant see them doing it for free. It has always been difficult for Canadians to understand why this is so political in the US. Universal health care is supported in Canada by both Liberals and Conservatives.
