Posts: 2344No one's actually closing the cases. It requires 2 confirmed negative tests in most cases and unless you're admitted into a hospital, no one's getting test once they're better.
I'the say the healthcare system's ability to not get over run is definitely a benchmark of it's quality. Do you see the irony of all the criticism of America's poor healthcare system and fat people with comorbidities yet death rates, even in densely populated New York is much lower?

Posts: 796Oktoberfest and FKK / saunaclubs are totally different.
The one is a MASS feast with about 100,000 folks at any point in time.
The others can be much more disciplined. Especially if you lay out the rules.
I am not giving up. Hope is the thing that dies last. Right?

Sometimes I think we must put aside partisanship and listen to the other side no matter how much we detest them. What I am hearing from our little friends is a cry for help.
Coronavirus: "Please accept our apologies if you die. When these unfortunate side-effects occur, no-one is worse impacted than we ourselves. ".
Rather than being scared of mutations, we should be accelerating them, so that the enlightened tribes of Covid-20 and Covid-21 may overcome their savage forebear.
Pain itself destroys pain. Suffering itself frees man from suffering. -- Krishnamurti.

Just read in several news sources that Oktoberfest 2020 is the latest victim of COVID-19. If people think that Sauna Clubs will reopen this summer it may be time to re-evaluate that position.

Posts: 140FBI raids Neighborhood for 1 million medical supplies
Prosecutors say 43-year-old Baruch Feldheim hoarded the supplies in order to take advantage of the COVID-19 crisis and was selling them to doctors and nurses at prices as much as 700% above market value.

Nearly a million medical-grade masks and gloves that were seized this week from a Brooklyn man who was charged with lying to federal agents about price-gouging will go to medical workers in New York and New Jersey, the authorities said Thursday.
The need for masks and personal protective equipment, known as PPE, is acute in the New York metropolitan region, an epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States.
The stockpile of supplies that were seized included 192,000 N95 respirators, 130,000 surgical masks and nearly 600,000 medical grade gloves, the authorities said. They said they also had recovered surgical gowns, disinfectant towels, particulate filters, hand sanitizer and spray disinfectant.
The man who was charged with lying to federal agents, Baruch Feldheim, 43, charged a doctor $12,000 last month for a large order of masks, gowns and hazmat gear at a 700 percent markup, according to the F. Be. I. The agency called it a glaring example of hoarding of medical supplies that are designated as essential under a presidential executive order.
When the doctor went to pick up his order at an auto repair shop in Irvington, and. J. , which was being used as a warehouse, he saw so many pallets of medical gear, Clorox wipes and hand sanitizer that it would have been enough to supply an entire hospital, a criminal complaint said.
"Cracking down on the hoarding of vital supplies allows us to distribute this material to the heroic health care workers on the front lines who are most in need," Alex M. Azar II, the USA Health and Human Services secretary, said in a statement on Thursday.

When federal agents first confronted Mr. Feldheim on Sunday, he coughed in their direction and told them that he had tested positive for the coronavirus, the authorities said. He was arrested on Monday and also charged with one count of assault on a federal officer, the criminal complaint said.

Mr. Feldheim's defense lawyer, James Moriarty, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday night, but Reuters reported that Mr. Moriarty had denied the charges.
In a message on Thursday to his F. B. I. Colleagues, Gregory W. Ehrie, the special agent in charge of the F. Be. I. 's Newark office, wrote that the efforts of law enforcement officers were making a difference during the health care crisis.
"It is gratifying when the challenging and risky work of our agents has such positive and tangible results," Mr. Ehrie wrote. "Profiteers need to be aware that we are looking for them and will do whatever necessary to help stem the tide of this crisis. The public needs to know that they are a force multiplier in our efforts and should bring us any information that could curtail criminal activity."
The USA Department of Health and Human Services said it would pay "fair market value" to the owner of the hoarded equipment.
The materials were inspected and redistributed to the health departments of New York State, New Jersey and New York City, the authorities said.

Posts: 1385Universal healthcare is a non starter in US. As for social inequality, they can debate it forever but there will never be such a thing. Not in the US, not anywhere else. May be there will be degrees of inequality, but never any true equality.

I like Moscow, but I recommend more st petersberg.
But Moscow changed, I went there first in year 2000 and back then it was still different to Europe, but now it still is different, but it has more European side to it. Same with Almaty, I went in 1999 first time, I went back in 2017, it developed too much now to my taste, I liked it when I smelt bit of USSR feeling.
I love to go back to Romania, I have not been since 2001, it must have changed a lot, but at least I fuck their women a lot of them in Germany and zurich LOL!
