  1. My sister, who has been a Federal employee for 24 years, barely made it out alive from COVID. She is now stuck with bills and no help from the government she dedicated her best years to.

  2. Q😱 1.Trump: a fall guy mislead thinking that everything will go on normal. Once Trump remove, O💣MA will rise to power.
    2.left behind because Christians were not aware because they were so busy with 💰 💰 💰 and the cares of this world. They took the 💉 🐍 luciferase which will eventually lead to the mark of the beast =eternal 💀.They will be shocked to death when they see the sudden destructions.
    3.👑 💝J💚E💛S💜U💙S 👑 👰🔜
    4.Whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation20.15

  3. This is so sad. Keep fighting the cruel insurance industry. It is crazy that the richest country in the world has no public health system. And still people keep voting for the Republican party and keep letting them block bills that would help most citizens in America. It is incomprehensible to me.

  4. This all seems very much like my fibromyalgia symptoms..which seemed to have a possible link to lagging symptoms caused by having mono. It's rough, I've been working 20 hours a week since 2011, when i got the fibromyalgia diagnosis. and if I didn't push myself, wouldn't work at all…because it hurts just to force oneself out of bed most days. Maybe these doctors need to treat people for chronic fatigue and other symptoms caused by viruses/autoimmune disorders

  5. Being that we dont know the origin of COVID-19 the government should pay long hauler bills✌

  6. Even many "3rd-World" counties, like Thailand & Uganda, have universal care.

    What Thailand Can Teach the World About Universal Health Coverage

    https://www.theguardian.com/health-revolution/2016/may/24/thailand-universal-healthcare-ucs-patients-government-political

    "Thai citizens gain universal access to essential health services at zero cost—and reap major benefits as babies get healthier, workers increase productivity, and households reduce financial risk"

    Moreover, according to the US National Library of Medicine – National Institutes of Health, Thailand is the #1 destination for medical tourism.

    Thailand top destination for medical tourists

    There is only ONE "developed" nation on Earth that does not have some kind of single-payer, universal health coverage. Guess what one?

    So, you have to ask, can we really be classified as a "developed" nation?

  7. The greedy and twisted American "medical industry" profiting from Covid-19, IS CRIMINAL! The entire system is a disaster! It preys on all of us, not to care for us, but TO ROB US OF EVERYTHING WE OWN AND THEN $UM! INFURIATING!!

  8. Bloomberg Surveillance just ran a segment on this where a Prof from Johns Hopkins was interviewed and said that LT COVID is <<Frequent>> and Bloomberg put in the headline on the bottom of the screen that said the "Hopkins LT COVID Infrequent" Dumb

  9. Not one single American has been able to tell me why universal health care, like exists in every civilized country on Earth except the USA, is considered worse than mortgaging your house and going broke when you have to be hospitalized. The total bill for my hospitalization in the poshest clinique and most advanced surgery in existence was US$400. In the USA, it would have been over US$100,000. Still, Americans think the latter is the be preferred. Can ANYONE American tell me why Americans think that?

  10. The US, Brazil, India, Mexico and Peru accounted for almost half of the global C-19 deaths.

    The UK, Italy, Russia, France and Columbia rounded out the top ten leaders in C-19 deaths.

    These TOP TEN accounted for almost TWO-THIRDS of the global C-19 deaths.

    What is their special talent? Or is it just crappy healthcare?

    Densely populated Japan has less than 14,000 C-19 deaths. What do they know and do the rest of the world does not?

    How is that a widespread, contagious, lethal pandemic?

    Is China is lying by undercounting its 4,600 deaths?

    Or are the US and Fauci lying by overcounting and conflating comorbidities?

    Government + MSM = lying.

    Almost 30% of C-19 deaths occurred in residence, hospice or nursing/eldercare facilities.

    86.4% of C-19 CASES were among those UNDER 65.

    80% of C-19 DEATHS occurred among those OVER 65+.

    30% of C-19 DEATHS were among those OVER 85 with only 2% of the population.

    Over the past 18 months there were 4,670,000 DEATHS from ALL causes. At 583,000 C-19 deaths were only 12.5%.

    Over 70% of ALL deaths involved those OVER 65 years of age. That demographic is only 16.5% of the population.

    NEWS FLASH: OLD PEOPLE DIE!!!!!!!!!!

    Mother Nature and her good buddy Grim Reaper were just doing their duty, culling the herd of the too many, too old, too sick, too crammed together in badly run (BLUE) elder care facilities.

  11. Have you been looking for a herbal doctor to cure your herpes virus, HIV,std, cancer, HPV, kidney, mental health, etc i was cured after using dr osaba medicine on YouTube

  12. Let’s make the Chinese government and Fauci pay these bills. Fauci is such a liar. The Chinese people told us through a private VPN that people were dying in their streets, yet their government continued covering it up! Me, as an average citizen, knew this prior to this being a pandemic, yet Fauci you continue to play dumb!!! Why are my tax dollars paying for your coverup??

  13. Sign in El Arroyo Texas. Covid happy days.
    A Big Nose in not an excuse for no Mask, I mean, I still wear underwear,
    You smell great, what hand sanitizer are you wearing.
    Only 6 Dwarves are left, Sneezy has been Quarantined.
