Omicron Variant May End Up Saving Lives - WSJ

[DMC]

Case in point:

Functioning free markets require the ability to forgo a good or service, or to subs ute one service for another. This is what makes it sensitive to supply and demand (i.e."elasticity")

If you are suffering from cancer, or a heart attack, or 3rd degree burns, can you realistically forgo medical care? Or subs ute a cardiologist for something cheaper, like say... a podiatrist or an aroma therapist?

That is where I stop getting honest answers. They understand instinctively the answer is " no", but know that admitting that means their free market diety has a flaw, and that they cannot abide.

i.e. you cannot afford to go to the hospital. Don't you get VA treatment with your military background?

I’m mostly with you, if unvaxxed MAGA s wanna die, then cool, let em die. But the issue is the hospitals being stuck with all the unvaxxed re s, and not having enough space to treat other patients. There’s already plenty of stories of people who have a non-COVID issue dying while waiting for a hospital bed.

If hospitals could start refusing to treat unvaccinated COVID patients I’d be 100% for completely removing all COVID restrictions.

Been arguing for this. I'd also be in favor of treating them but then charging them with a crime like we do for drunk drivers.

We could solve the problem by returning to a free market healthcare system. No cash, No Credit, Bad Credit, GTFOH. This would also lower the cost of healthcare like it does in veterinary medicine.

Would be nice to have the option of putting Boomers to sleep rather than give them knee surgery tbh

Nope. Millennials have to take care of Boomers and early GenX like me. I'll be right there with them talking about muh right to free stuff by the end of the decade.

How should they treat the obese patients?

lol closing testing sites, making it harder to buy test kits...getting people to isolate at home, close contact family members within the household also stay at home.. govt seriously wants herd immunity....

herd immunity makes no sense, everyone reacts to the virus differently...so in other words everyone is collateral... yet all the dogs in ICU are unvaccinated antivax wankers...start pulling the plug...

My family currently has omicron. Wife and daughter have slight colds. I haven't felt bad whatsoever.

with delta we didnt get many cases probably around 1000 a day, and deaths were mainly old people in age care due to strict lockdowns and monitoring, fearmongering got people to be more wiser..

now with population 90% double vaccinated, seems like ppl have drop down their guards, govt also dropping down their policys

now with omicron its like we open the flood gates cases 5000-15000 a day, they are treating these just mild cases nothing series downplaying the cases, but a case is still a case...people in icu are unvaccinated or with other health problem, deaths also decreasing....

last year i could just rock up to any testing site without having to wait for , now? fkn 2.5hrs wait or be turn away cause they cant handle the numbers of ppl wanting to get tested or backlog of test still not process,

fck UBI, those fkn idiots on welfare already living and eatting better then ppl who cant access welfare doing menial low income jobs living on the poverty line...

now they want ubi or welfare increase to minimum weekly pay when welfare was meant to get you by for the day/week...

How should they treat the obese patients?

The same way if their obesity is entirely of their own doing. Why do you think obesity is analogous to people who deliberately refuse to get vaccinated?

Both groups are knowingly putting their health at risk.

We don't deny medical intervention for poor lifestyle choices, thankfully.

After you sober up, you’ll laugh at how stupid this argument you’re making is.

Oh, who am I kidding? You’re not gonna sober up.
