Hey Doc, can you tell me if the below seems normal?
Jacksonville will host President Trump’s GOP renomination convention
Donald Trump will accept the nomination of the Republican Party for a second term as president in Jacksonville, the RNC Chair announced Thursday night.www.news4jax.com
We have now had 17 known cases (but it is assumed more) outside the facilities linked to a cluster of infections at a quarantine facility outside the facility. The high rate of infections within the facilities is almost certainly from internal spread too.
They are putting returned overseas travellers in hotel 'quarantine' (almost all in Melbourne for some baffling reason, even though Sydney is the major national airport hub). And then they are hiring security companies - like the dipshit companies that supply club bouncers - giving them a couple of hours of hygiene training and telling them to man quarantine facilities.
Then they are telling these guards they don't have enough PPE, so to reuse gloves and masks. This is in May and we haven't been hit hard at all, so we should have more PPE than we know what to do with. And I would have assumed a QUARANTINE FACILITY would be fairly high up on the places you prioritize for PPE, but perhaps that is my ignorance.
So, then they forget to tell the guards not to let positive people - in quarantine, I again must stress - to leave the facility for walks.
So Sanjay, Abdul and Tran Nguyen, whose grasp of the English language is tenuous and who are only qualified to guard parking lots, are walking around this quarantine facilities in re-used PPE and freely interacting with confirmed positive cases, taking them out for walks and searching through their stuff.
And the best part is when the health authorities were asked 'what in the utter fuck is going on?' the response from health authorities seriously amounted to 'what? It's not our fault, blame the random security company we hired to man a QUARANTINE FACILITY (emphasis added)'.

This is actually inaccurate. Way more have already died than died in 'combat' in WW1. 53,000 US soldiers died in combat in WW1. More Australian troops (62,000) and Canadian troops (57,000) died in combat than American soldiers, despite having fractions of the US population, because the US was so late to the party.
There reason there were 70,000 or so extra listed US casualties - Spanish Flu. So it's probably not the best comparison, because it actually shows how much more fucked Spanish Flu was because it was wiping out so many healthy young people.
Thats terrible.
how do you feel about Mnuchin not publishing the companies that received 500 billion in tax payers money?

It should be public knowledge since it was the public's money.
They could have paid every American household 33k for the money they gave the corporations.
CompletEly unaccountable money too.
Thats what would piss me off.
People will go back to work. If only to finance yet another corporate bail out.
I'm pretty sure that's assault.
And she should have been decked for it.
You know..... For karma.
Namaste
Corporations needed assistance. No issue with that. We need to have jobs for people to work at.
But yeah - no reason for it to be a secret. Unless they're playing hide the weenie which I'm sure they are.
surely they should be saving for a rainy day to fix the roof when it rains?
or at least you as a tax payer should have shares in said company?
It would have also been nice if those mystery businesses got the 350 and the small business "ppp loans" got the 500... But that's just one more thing to nitpick.
I'd take all the "free" shares they want to give me.
If there is any meaningful correlation, it's certainly not showing up yet.

Yeah, I know. I enjoy how you're so dumb that you thought this was a 'gotcha'. The hilarious part is that the US pays double per capita of any other advanced nation for healthcare because of gouging like this.
But if you don't think ridiculous bills like these don't impact people when the government doesn't pick up the tab too, then you must not read. Medical bankruptcies are not really a thing in the rest of the world.
This is the real reason most Americans file for bankruptcy
Two-thirds of people who file for bankruptcy say medical bills or other issues related to illness contributed to their financial downfall. One big reason: their health insurance wasn't enough.
There's a reason why people come from all over the world to have medical procedures here. I don't give a shit about paying for care, because it's better than any government run care I've ever received.Yeah, I know. I enjoy how you're so dumb that you thought this was a 'gotcha'.

International Patients, Seeking Cures in the States (Published 2018)
Are they taking up beds that could be used for vulnerable domestic patients or are they bringing money that could be used toward other programs?

If you're referring solely to medical bills, no. If you're referring to bankruptices caused by medical issues, they definitely are.
