Corona Virus # 3

[k0ua]

Leave the schools open. The little infected kids will spread it among each other, to the school staff, etc... then they all go home and all the adults in the houses get it but don't know it. Then they spread it around. Then two weeks later everyone starts showing symptoms. Too late at that point. Hope the adults are healthy enough to fight it off.

Like I mentioned earlier, they close public schools during flu outbreaks, so this would be no different.

That may be a good point.

In Russia, Virus has you...

Again Closing schools is INSANE. We should be closing nursing homes. NO MORE visitors to nursing homes at this point in time. Every nursing home in the country should be under quarantine at this time. These people are under risk of death. Not school children.

My Brother is in the Veteran's Home in Cameron, just North of KC. They put it under quarantine yesterday.

I consider that rational.

Schools, not until a high incident of the Virus in their immediate area at least.

Up here, every time it snows, there's a run on bread and milk (milk sandwiches sound awful).

French Toast run .... bread, eggs, milk.

That's OK - Molalla1. I'll right in step with you in the 70-79 age group. We can both look for the rotten SOB who cut our Medicare benefits.

I have seen a couple articles. Business Insider - MSNBC - questions being raised about how much of the TREATMENT of Corona virus will be covered by Medicaid/Medicare.

There is no dispute - private insurance, Medicaid & Medicare will cover the testing. Google - "Medicaid/Medicare vs Corona Virus".

 

[California]

There is no dispute - private insurance, Medicaid & Medicare will cover the testing.

Sooner or later. See this rant ..."Im awaiting permission from the federal government to allow for my testing, even after my physician and county health professional ordered it. " ... by a nurse who is ill and quarantined, after caring for a Coronavirus patient. She doesn't meet the criteria to qualify for the test because she was wearing proper protective gear.

Related - has the reported number of people tested on that cruise ship increased? Last I saw was 21 cases found out of a total 47 (?) tested.
