What if I'm worried about healthcare system collapse by surge of unvaccinated people, resulting in disruption of non-covid-related medical care? This disruption can even last after the epidemic ends, as the medical staff is burning out and quitting. (this is happening right now in .cz)
- jokethrowaway 5y agoPrivatise the health system so that it can be more flexible and provide treatments in a more elastic manner (not necessarily in big expensive hospitals). Deregulate until things are sane if you live in the USA were the government and insurance companies propped up the prices ridiculously. I'm sure that if you prevent non-vaccinated people not to go to public hospital, they will gladly comply. But I don't think covid is a battle we will win with vaccines, the virus mutates fast and the effectiveness drops pretty fast. As of the latest figures I'm reading in the newspapers, 40% of people in ICU because of Covid are vaccinated, 60% are not. Hopefully some medication will come up to cure the symptoms, like remdesivir.
