If a company is too big to fail, then it’s too big to remain privately owned. You can’t expect taxpayers to carry the risk while shareholders enjoy all the rewards.
So disheartening to see this.
As a reminder, the precursors of the 1918 influenza circulated in herds/flocks and agricultural workers for some years before all hell broke loose.
We can do better than mediocre Medicare for all. Medicare only pays for 80% of your bill. No vision, no dental, no prescriptions. Let’s stop asking for “Medicare for all” when what we really want is universal healthcare
It is not a matter of if a Bird Flu pandemic is coming it is a question of when. When Bird Flu starts going human to human it will get out of hand fast.
⚠️Pandemic bird flu risk has never been higher.
If H5N1 human adapts and goes pandemic we will only find out that it has ‘gone viral’ a few weeks later.
There is zero chance we could contain pandemic flu.
This pandemic will be orders of magnitude worse than COVID.
Lockdowns will be voluntary, enforcement will be unnecessary as ICU’s fill to capacity, hospitals are bed blocked, and patients start dropping in the streets.
We do have vaccines ready to go, but they will take months to scale and distribute.
Resource inequality will be similar to Covid, with only the wealthier countries getting the jabs.

Medicare for All and Universal Basic Income. That's the winning combo. They improve each other. UBI means healthier people needing less paid care, meaning M4A costs less when combined with UBI. And for UBI, M4A means full decoupling of survival from jobs, improving labor bargaining power even more.
