COVID-19: I’m Treating Too Many Young People for the Coronavirus

    I know a little about the health care system in Shenzhen and Hong Kong via college friends and an ex-girlfriend that was a language (English) tutor for about 5 years there (3 years in Shenzhen and 2 years in Hong Kong).

    Also, I spent most of my military years in South Korea followed by 1 year of living there after I left the military.

    You'll be surprise by how many hospitals in Europe are no better than Shenzhen, Hong Kong and South Korea.

    In contrast, most of the university hospitals I've seen (not as a patient) in the U.S. have a better healthcare system.

    It's one of the reasons why my family and private insurance company made the decision to medivac me back to North America from Europe (France).

    Regardless, it was a traumatizing medical experience that I should not have survived...lucky in my unluck. Just as important, I can't imagine a parent of a child having to watch a child go thru something similar especially now that there's a growth in young people becoming ill (not just infected) with Covid-19.

    Hope the numbers in young people becoming infected does not increase considering one of the common illness from Covid-19 is pneumonia.

    People calling Covid-19 a fake, scam, conspiracy hits a raw nerve with me. Reminds me about that lunatic saying there's no such thing as cancer...its a big conspiracy by pharmaceutical companies.

    It's disappointing there's people who are so freakin stupid that they continue to minimize this.. like dumbass spring break college kids who are now saying oops.

    This pandemic is the biggest threat we've ever faced. Millions worldwide may likely die. Food shortages, looting and panic are coming...

    I'm genuinely fcking scared for the first time in my life, because there's no cure and lack of fast federal action. I've never been one to worry much, but this is different. Deadly.

    It's the low-intelligent dumbfucks who don't #stayhome that will cause reinfection and ongoing spread.

    Complacency after spring lockdown during summer led to millions of fall deaths during the 3 YEAR Spanish flu. I'm worried the dumbass deniers will cause history to repeat here this fall

    My wife works for one of the largest hospitals in Ohio. I wouldn't be saying it if I didn't see it for myself.

    Not sure how my previous post read, but I only think Mainland Chinese hospitals are backwards, I´d trust a HK clinic as much as a European one, services in public HK hospitals seem to be way more rushed than in the clinics but I´d trust the doctors there as well as the material.
    Visited Seoul but shortly and have no experience with their healthcare system, but don´t doubt it is first world level.
    Besides as a father of young children, I´d rather have them go along with their life outside the house and risk seeing them sick or injured (again)

    A typical mistake by a team player who decided to play his own game a little bit too soon.
