It was in response to Crispin_Glover's post I quoted.
Not much consolation, but you'd hope that they don't need to be hospitalised with the majority of the costs will be diagnostic - which can add up fast, but should be in the k's not tens of k's. Sick leave is obviously an issue as is a multiweek hospital stay.
Definitely wasn't getting smug about US deaths, I have family out there. I'm worried a lack of paid sick leave and health insurance will cause serious issues that go beyond the medical repercussions of a pandemic. People will be bankrupted or left with crippling medical bills.
