Point: Flu status/deaths have done what since COVID?
Went down, because most who would have died from a Flu are also the ones are susceptible to COVID.
Funny how that works between two respiratory illnesses.

Being conditioned by the current messaging is one thing, knowing by experience is another.
Suffice it to say, despite the issues with the US medical system, it is nowhere near as bad as ours.
A simple solution to the US issue is to put the "price" of services in the consumer's hands. Publish the number insurance pays. Folks will start shopping around for a better price forcing competition. Those multi-million dollar admins hospitals need to run will be greatly reduced.
Up here, we have no choice. Public Unions and workers scream and Gov throws more money on it. Per capita here in Alberta we spend $10B more than any other province in the country.
Our system is so bloated and broken that it can take a year or more to get basic surgery services. People are dying up here man.
The grass is always greener.

Understood, it just seems that we are trying really REALLY hard to ruin it. I personally liked my plan, I wanted to keep my plan. Didn't seem to work out that way. Don't know enough to argue it either way, just know that somebody is making bank on my premiums that have gone through the roof.

"I'm from the government and I'm here to help"
Always, always, always beware The Man.
As soon as Gov gets involved, things get EFFED up. Period.
The corruption up here is insane as it is down there. There's absolutely no will in Gov to deal with it. No cohones to put Public Unions in their place when "bargaining".
Unions portray Gov as evil but it's really "We the People" that end up paying for their largesse.
Dismissal Ladder. Know what that is? I didn't. No accountability. Folks in Health Services can practically kill someone up here and NOT BE DISMISSED!
Work Rules: Know that they are? They are a way to force an employer to create more positions. Why? Because unions don't get more dues on better wages they get more dues with more positions. The Work Rules Bible is key to the bloat in public services.
We're being r*ped up here. It's horrible. No accountability at all.

@PhlipElder Y'all see the "Great Reset" push that's coming down the pipe?
Do all y'all understand, and I mean understand, what it is implying and what it means for the regular Joes & Janes of this world?!?
My family has been through two Red Revolutions and one near miss with the Armenian Genocide. The whole thing is just too coincidental.
Sorry, not buying it. I'm not buying the virus push at all anymore.
I'm firmly in the Better Dead Than Red camp here.

Ditto. I haven't been to even a Doctor's office in 5 years. But I had a 30k CI done, so I'm thinking I got a good deal.

OH is that all? we're all fooked - that's all I know.
my own opinion that no one has asked for or cares about -
The pandemic will end (end-ish) when those with co-morbidities get it and die off. Those left behind will get Covid again and again just like people get a cold or flu again and again.I have zero expectation that a vaccine will wipe this thing out...
That said - I'll be happily wrong if we instead end up like measles and the vaccine does prevent the disease... but I certainly don't expect that to the be the case.
So with my opinion being what is it - how long do we keep things locked down, destroying the economy, etc?
