And if you go on a ventilator you have an 86% chance of ending up dead.

Is this a Medicaid/Medicare thing? Does the Fed pay out for other illnesses? I keep hearing about these payouts and can’t understand why da Gubbamint is paying hospitals for Wu Flu.

I keep hearing this, what are the actual numbers on this broken down and how is the compensation actually calculated? There are 5 million cases. So the government has given out $135 billion dollars just this year? Or is it a combination of government, state and private insurance money?
