No new U.S. reports that I can find. No deaths in America. Kind of odd.
I thought you guys got free medical care. Anyway, I will have to discuss it with my doctor. I think my kids did get vaccines for it. I got them all. My son gets one tomorrow. I'll ask.
Yes, everybody in the UK does get free healthcare, but certain vaccines are not issued for free unless you are classed as "elderly" ..
It's not here yet that we know of. Only travelers and I think one community transmission. Also, it will probably have been here for at least a two weeks when we discover it. In terms of fatalities, that can take about a month from the time you show symptoms until you finally die. This is why you see that huge open cases stat but a relatively small closed cases stat.
We are also set up for a big surprise because we have a ridiculous health care system where a lot of people cannot realistically afford to pay hundreds of dollars (if not thousands) to show up at an ER just because they have flu-like symptoms. Welcome to consequences for bad public policies.
