You mean the lack of testing? We aren't testing nearly as many people as other places.
Are you personally worried about getting the Coronavirus?

That is a fairly large percentage for people dying from a virus.
I meant their own economy is tanking because the exact same thing is happening in their countries too. Except Sweden of course.
We started late with testing, but I bet we are getting close to frontrunners for testing per capita per day now. I may be wrong on that one.

I'm sure they will test for everything. they aren't going to turn you away because you haven't been to a MD and been tested. they'll ask questions and test.

It's extremely hard to get testing done even if showing symptoms because of the lack of test kits.
The US healthcare system is such a joke.

I don't know, me and my family have gotten great care all these years when needed, and in a timely fashion. Who would you say has better or would you prefer to get care?
Those numbers show they are only doing 1650 tests or so per day, but the number of positive cases per day is way more than that, and last I saw about 90% of tests are coming back negative. New York alone had 10,482 new positive cases in the last day. That is waaaaay more than 5 per million people.

It really depends on location, insurance coverage, genetics, diet, and expectations. Some take the approach to leave things in professional providers. Others don't trust that.
Our local main med providers started a medical insurance company that does go into E Iowa. They were horrible on both providing until and coverage 60 Minutes showed up.
Within the same system I ve had primaries that are basically drug salesmen and reminded me of the dad on Honey I Shrunk the Kids to level headed doctors that incorporate functional medicine.
Btw Europe generally has much higher cancer survival rates, but they also euthanize in some nation's (we do it too but it's much more stealth) and they ban more carcinogens.

My alternative view of human nature is that the vast majority will make reasonable decisions, follow logical rules, and work with others in the face of a crisis like this one. Yes, there will be outliers, which is why we have laws. So, you are right...people are not animals, but quite a few are in prison.

This afternoon I went to two different Dollar Stores, one CVS store and Lowes. None of them had any hand sanitizer, no toilet paper, no Lysol spray cans and no masks. This is beyond frustrating.

Governor Reynolds has just updated us that of those who have been tested to date
93% have come back negative.
THAT is why she is not shutting down the state
Another gain in positives was squarely in to 10-15% range. THAT is why she is not shutting down the state.
She is in close contact with state medical experts and has concocted a formula for shutting it down of which the threshold has yet to be met.
THAT is why she's not shutting down the state.
For being a female Governor Reynolds sure has a lot of onions, more than the governor's in the two states immediately to her east.

Another sign it will be a challenge for the college football season to start on time this fall: Ohio State has suspended all on-campus summer classes thru end of July

The one guy said everyone who says they think have it gets put in as a positive test, but the numbers are out there about how many negative tests there are. Something like 90% of people who get tested come back negative. That guy was an idot. Everyone else in the video seemed ok. The first guy was off I guess.

Illinois Governor Pritzker in HIS briefing just said 210 Illinois citizens have lost their lives to this.
Thats a months worth of murders in Chicago, Rockford, Peoria and East Saint Louis. But criminals still run free and get every chance to rehab themselves.
