The Aussies have something like 3% vax rate and maybe 51 deaths.  Granted, 
nobody can move around the country with all the lock downs, and only the 
celebrities are allowed to fly in, while the citizens stranded outside are not 
able to find a flight home.  It is dead of winter down under, up here we have 
raging wildfires that are probably causing more respirator issues that can be 
linked to WRD.

 I haven't been paying much attention to the statistics but we do have a 
building number of cases. Interestingly if you go back a year there was a bump 
right around this time with, interestingly, around the same number of cases per 
day. If the trend repeats we should be seeing the peak soon and be out of it by 
the beginning of August.

OTOH if you look at the number of deaths per day has been in steady decline 
since the middle of February, we've just come over a small bump but it looks 
like a return to decreasing numbers.
Honestly if more people in California, Florida and Texas would just get 
vaccinated and maybe stay home a little more this "problem" wouldn't be. Those 
three states really skew the numbers for the rest of us.
Although I talked to a guy from Australia last week, they have the lowest 
vaccination rate in the developed world. They are NOT pleased with their health 
service.

Re: [MBZ] It’s hitting the fan

2021-07-21 Thread Allan Streib via Mercedes
I guess that makes sense but that hadn't occurred to me.

Is it still possible to buy an "individual" plan from a local agent? I had that 
when I worked for a company that didn't offer an employer plan. It was fairly 
reasonable in cost, notably it did not cover maternity but that was no longer 
an issue for my family. I was even able to set it up so that the company made 
the payments, witheld from my salary pre-tax. Did that all go away with ACA?
