    We're going to miss herd immunity by a wide margin at this point before Covid resurfaces in the fall.

    That's going to make maybe 20 states relatively safe as the vaccinated get their boosters and 30 a living nightmare again as they go through wave 3 w/o masks or enough vaccinated people.

    I'd say fuck it, they deserve it, but that's a lot of hurt for generally poor populations to go through at this point - not to mention some of those states will crash their health systems in the process.

    Brook,
    I am so jealous of you guys. Turkey and Egypt are on my list of must go places. After 20 years in the military, I was blessed to live all over the world (some places better than others). I was stationed in Germany for 5 years and absolutely loved it. We had tickets to Istanbul several years ago and a genius with the government turned the internet off. Well shit hit the fan, and we decided not to go.

    Can you please mail me 10 doner sandwiches.

    I am almost willing to jump in here luggage and just go. I love the Turkish culture most importantly the food. I want a doner so damn bad. That was my Friday night meal every week

    Here's a hot one about COVID: padding and outright fraud.

    You do NOT owe a co-pay for a PCR or Rapid Test if you are not seen by a Dr. What a story this is, as in newsworthy. Under investigation by the DOH courtesy of me, I hope they enjoy their anxiety.

    I used to do health insurance and billing for a living, and they messed with the wrong person. Haha, ask for my non-existent records like I did. Insurance companies suck balls, but I did these idiots a favor.

    I wouldn't let it go because ya damn well know Medicare patients were getting rolled and Medicaid was being scammed up the butt. It made me so mad. COVID billing changed in 1/21 because initially it was unclear how to bill. It's clear as crystal now. It's fraud.

    The best part was when I walked into a Pediatric practice and asked to sign a medical release for my records for laughs. There aren't any, obviously. I was swabbed in the parking lot. If you're billing for an office visit, you better be able to prove it. Meaningful Use, how can anyone be that dumb. This one moron billed extended evaluation new patient. I never saw that Dr. in my life.

    So anyway, I just got a friend's hospital bill reduced from $7K to $1K, haha. I'm so good at it. It's such a ridiculous game, but I know all the moves. I recently had surgery and jokingly said, "So, how much is this going to cost?" In a way you're almost better off without insurance, but that's a whole other ball of yarn. The garbage that goes on.
