Not only that your hearing tons of stories of people not being fully tested for it when they actually get the test. America did *Censored* up, immensely. From bad vetting to trying to profit off coronavirus, we're doing a lot of damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Oh, yeah...America is totally gonna stuff this up. Maybe if our leadership was even halfway competent, but...yeah.

Niffan Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 In Denmark we have over 500 people who have tested positive so far. Our prime minister has ordered people to take the next 14 days off from work and all schools and daycares have closed down. It is only those who work with something vitally important who can still go to work. Events with over 100 people have been cancelled and we are generally supposed to stay in-doors. The plan is to curb the spread of the disease before it reaches critical numbers. I am eternally grateful to live in a country with free healthcare, that takes Corona seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few questions, do any of your politicians or citizens take issue with your healthcare to the point where they want to remove it? Or is it something the whole country almost unanimously agrees should be in place? Are there things about it you wish were better? Any aspects you would like to add or remove?

M3J Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Tom and Rita were able to get tested quickly because of Australia's healthcare system as well. If they were in USA, they probably wouldn't have been able to get tested as quickly as they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niffan Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 @EJ! You have a lot of good questions. I’ll answer to the best of my ability. In the grander scheme of things, most Danes appreciate our free healthcare system. Naturally, this system is supported by paying the most taxes of almost any country in the world. We have a tax system where those with the broadest shoulders carry the heaviest burden (the rich etc.) However, the right wing politicians know that their voters are the wealthy people and the industries, so they usually promise that the rich will pay less taxes if they vote for them. These political parties still appreciate the healthcare though. The only party that doesn’t appreciate this is the liberal party of Denmark, that claims that we should be more like America. We have a newly elected socialist government, so I’m fairly optimistic. Our healthcare is mostly loved and appreciated. The only issues I have with our healthcare system are the tax evaders who hide their money in Panama and won’t contribute, which obviously damages the system as a whole. The other problem is the waiting times you sometimes have for a surgery in the public system, which sometimes causes the more affluent to seek private treatment for money, thus undermining the system a little bit. Otherwise it is very amazing to know that your country has your back if you get sick. 10/10 would recommend. This has been my TedTalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunchbox Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 So the good news that's going unnoticed is Cuba found a antivirus against Corona and are collaborating with China and Venezula to fight the virus. Its apparently been around for 39 years, and in Canada they were able to isolate the virus strain which means they can more easily work on cures and vaccines. On top of that China just closed the last hosptial that was built to contain the virus because they went from 15,000 cases a day to 15 cases a week.
