COVID-19 & US healthcare system - thread relapse

Oi!  Stop cloning my device name(s)!!!

Apparently, though CV-19 is *someones* (if it WAS created) new version of Soylent green.  Not sure how valid his sample size was and or if it was deaths, or just infection rates, but my nephew was quoting something about 46% percent of nursing homes.

Fortunatly, there is that whole meat packing issue going on as well; so if someone's idea WAS for 'long pork'.  And those folk are kinda tough and stringy anyway.

Nursing homes in Canada are being hit about that hard, too. That's kicked off a discussion about how we as a country treat our elders ... and, without anything new coming along to crowd the issue out of the headlines, it's a discussion that we're actually having.

A very small minority are questioning whether there's a moral basis to the concept of for-profit healthcare. The fact that we can actually raise moral issues about anything at the moment is, in my humble opinion, encouraging - as long as we can actually have the discussion and reach a consensus.
