I know it's all mind boggling when you actually think about the math here. But, most people in the U.S. cannot either afford to go to doctors or they don't want to and choose to die at home or on the streets.
I remember owning two businesses in my 40s and not having health insurance for myself or my children except when I worked for the State of California for 2 years 1985 an 1986. So, in 1992 I believe it was I was living on a ranch in Aromas, Califronia and my wife and I were still raising my son and my now middle Daughter who was then 4 years old.
At that time we were running two businesses we owned and having health insurance for ourselves or our children just wasn't affordable at the time. So, when I had a panic Attack which mimicked a heart attack I went to the hospital in the emergency thinking I was dying but they said it was a panic attack that had all the symptoms of a heart attack. I knew something wasn't right with my heart and went around to heart specialists but none would see me because I didn't have health insurance. I was very upset because I realized I could die and leave my family without financial support other than my wife. So, it was actually more upsetting that I couldn't care for my family than actually staying alive myself for myself.
But, now people are going through what I did then en masse and so they are dying without being tested or even seeing a doctor because it would bankrupt their families to see a doctor so they die at home in bed or on their couches or on the streets instead ever day now.
So, for every 1 person that is counted and tested there are approximately 2 more who die without being tested or seeing a doctor or die before they are tested.
The actual ratio worked out by Yale in their research is for every 8000 tested there are 15,000 Americans to die untested which works out to approximately 3 times the number of 200,000 or actually around 600,000 total deaths in the U.S. from coronavirus so far.
So, we have already lost more Americans to coronavirus than died in World War II already.
And I blame Trump and his non-science snake oil approach for their deaths!
