@squishymommy1 very true! See our medical system here is different again, our is free for welfare recipients, then we have Medicare which gives you a percentage back of what you pay, then there is private health insurance too. We have a lot of hospitals too and like the U.S, have the resources to cope with things like this. That actually does make a lot of sense, now you've pointed that out. I guess we don't need to panic until countries like ours are not coping with it as well as we are so far.

@mamagunn.no.1, that’s what I’m going with. I look at Italy. And I look at the UK. They have national healthcare which is GREAT but it also limits the actual number of hospitals. Because....government. Honestly. I really like your system over there honestly.

Also, Italy has one of the oldest populations in the world. That is contributing to their high mortality rate.

I saw that!!!

@squishymommy1, yeah, I guess I shouldn’t fly any time soon. The pollen is already so bad here and my allergies are through the roof. I cough and sneeze my brains out on a daily basis this time of year. People would freak!!!

@chelseaz

Yeah my daughter has a cough due to her allergies but here in KY our trees are blooming so alot of people struggling with allergies 🤷🏼‍♀️
