Not their prehospital care. We invented the concept of advance prehospital care. Where we use Paramedics the still use physicians for a lot of the advanced level care. London is a good example. They may only have one available for one lucky pt. The rest get a ride to the hospital compared to what I am expected to do.
Is that why our death rate of 4.4/million with this pandemic is lower than any other European country and dropping everyday while theirs is climbing? Italy’s is over 1000/million
That depends upon what insurance you have. Yes you will get good care here but you may be bankrupt afterwards. The ratings show the care you would get in much of the EU is as good if not better than here.
Now that's a mouthful.....wonder if it could improve. I will be honest, here, when the word insurance comes up, it's a license to steal for the provider. Ask a dentist, auto body, restoration company if there's 2 prices. One price they can survive on, one they get rich on.
Not sure where you got those stats, but as of this evening, the US is 8/million and Italy 170/million.
I looked wrong. Overall the world is at 4.4 and yes IS is at 8. That number is dropping everyday.
Why wouldn’t it. The number of positive cases is growing exponentially faster than deaths. It will most certainly drop since the majority of the cases are in the populations that do not die as easily from this.
The million part of that fraction is population, not positive cases. If the good doctor Fauci's numbers pan out, your number 8 will got to 606/million.
The number 8 is deaths per millions. That would mean the death rate would have to increase by 750% even though the largest populations being infected are the ones that recover. The good dr is throwing numbers out there is no science with a range of 100,000 low to high. I’ve never thought he was doing anything more than spreading fear.
Education and respect for what we are dealing with is what’s needed. Not fear. Our healthcare system is the best in the world for pt care and more people will live here than anywhere else in the end. We surpassed China, almost doubling their diagnoses cases with less deaths. That says a lot.
