What would be luxury care as it pertains to Covid 19?
What Trump got. He was better in a few days.
I've been inquiring into monoclonal antibodies should I or someone I know get Covid, but they can't be prescribed for someone who doesn't have a pre-existing condition like obesity, diabetes etc. Even though they have an excess of doses that no one is using.
Hey here is an idea, those anti vaxxers, that get covid, perhaps we contract out their care to India or Brazil. They should feel right at home there.
They used to say things like this about gay men and drug users in the early days of the HIV epidemic. I remember how people wanted to ship them to isolation camps. I'm glad society has gotten so much less judgmental.

Let's send the obese to reeducation camps also. Lock 'em up.
Start packing
Either vaccines work or they don't.
Get it and shut it.
If you need a booster, get that too.
Everyone I know, including myself, who had Covid, spent a few days at home with mild flu-like symptoms. They are all fine.
As much as it seems that you would relish in delight at seeing them suffer, sorry, most do not.
The best way to increase further vaccination at this point is for you to be patient with people that are simply waiting for a more permanent judgment from science on the vaccines, and not attack them with anti-science labels like anti-vaxxer. That was a term which was coined to refer to people that erroneously think most or all vaccines are inherently unsafe, even existing vaccines that have decades of safety data.
^^^^This I actually agree with.
Recently, (1 week, 2 weeks ago?) there was concern over the fact that lots of Americans remain unvaccinated. The conclusion was that those people will never get vaccinated and we'll never reach herd immunity. That, IMO, is wrong.
We were in no rush to get vaccinated even though we were in one of the first groups allowed to get one. In our case, at that time, we were expected to travel a good distance as there was no place nearby administering them. Actually, it turned out that we were glad there was that speed bump. It gave us time to see how others reacted to the Pfizer and Moderna ones. I won't criticize anyone for their vaccination choices as I believe everybody has to do what they feel is right for them. As the months passed, we realized that we didn't want Pfizer or Moderna. Also, we noticed that those two vaccines were being aggressively pushed. I would ask my health plan about the J&J one only to be told that they don't know when they would get it. Then, next, they would say something like "All the vaccines are good and you should take what is available."
We decided to go with J&J and had an appt. on the day when it got temporarily pulled. Two days ago, we got it at a local grocery chain store. When we went for our appt., the pharmacy employee told us that he, too, had waited for the J&J one as he had similar concerns to ours regarding Pfizer and Moderna.
We aren't alone with those concerns. One time we mentioned to our son-in-law our concerns, especially the side effects after the second shot. We let him know that he should plan to miss at least a day of work if he gets hit hard. Then we let him know that we were waiting for the J&J one but that he should read up on all the vaccines and make his own choice.
Well...he was all set to get either Pfizer or Moderna and had an appt. We talked to him a few days later and asked how it went. He said he cancelled the appt. and was going to look for the J&J shot.
Yes, a small number of people had problems with J&J. However, with every single vaccine for other illnesses has its risks, too. That said, we are comfortable with our decision.
We already pay two to three times per capita for medical care than any other first world country, yet we have worse results. How about we split the difference and do it the way they do it in every other first world country? Those that think luxury care is worth it would be welcome to pay privately. Dont make the rest of us pay for your rich man needs. Same option the UK has. Know what, few of the wealthy pay the extra.
So you’re raising them for certain races that are more susceptible to diseases, sicknesses, etc..., than others?
disease and sickness cause obesity? In what world? Wally World?
