    • I’m pretty sure there are videos of bats at that married and pangolins and everything else_niko
    • Another theory is that it came from nearby farmers who harvest bat guano for fertilizer and they plural brought the virus to the market which is why they can’t_niko
    • ...find patient zero. https://www.google.c…_niko
    • There is only one lab and about a million other potential sources, so statistically it's unlikely unless there is some direct evidence.yuekit
    • I think people are latching onto this theory the same reason they do with other conspiracy theories, it provides a nice simple explanation for what happened.yuekit
    • "Evil Chinese communists engineered the virus in a lab" as opposed to "bat bit cow and farmer sold the cow at a market" which is probably more likelyyuekit
    • and actually more disturbing since it's completely random, could easily happen again and no one to blame.yuekit

    Uninsured Americans with COVID-19 would pay an estimated average of $73,300 for a 6-day hospital stay

    How Much Will the COVID-19 Pandemic Cost Hospitals?

    They found that a hospitalized COVID-19 patient will incur an average of $73,300 in costs. However, the total average allowed amount per commercially insured patient is just $33,221.

    • Covid hospitalization is billed to Medicaid I heard. But also I think the Fed get invol6and the body may be considered toxic. Hence the refrigerator trucks.robotron3k

    Explosive Report: Wuhan Biolab Captured Bats From Caves Traced To COVID-19 Outbreak, Had US Funding: https://www.zerohedge.com/health…

    • The truth is out thereutopian
    • Nothing disturbing or explosive, just research. We already know corona viruses come from bats. Go on, nothing to read here.grafician
    • we share 99% of DNA with chimps. to mutate from the 96% similar bat virus it would take 40+ years. so unless it escaped the Wuhan lab in 1979...kingsteven

    I can't help but wonder a bit about all the 'experts' and 'researchers' out there getting paid big $, yet they appear lost at the moment when it comes to combating a virus outbreak.

    The amount of money spent on R&D for health (including Virology) in the past 30 years is absolutely insane, but here we are, the US (and the rest of the world) caught knowing very little about a virus that is taking people's lives, and is crushing the economy, and has absolutely paralyzed human life.

    So many experts out there (110,000 researchers from around the world), so much money spent ($60 Billion per year in the US alone the past 15 years, $30 Billion of which directly allocated to the NIH), and all we got is "stay at home" and "wear a mask" and "wash your hands with soap."

    Where is the accountability for money spent on Virology R&D?

    • Well, having a vaccine in under a year considering otherwise it would take 5...grafician
    • Then again why we spend so much paying politicians and gov, with them being so useless rn...grafician
    • It's expensive because it's still beyond our medical capabilities and could be catastrophic—just due diligence.monoboy
    • while paying so little to "essential" workers and so on and so forthgrafician
    • the vaccine almost certainly already exists (there are 21+ in trials) it takes a year to make sure it's not going to kill people.kingsteven
    • not to mention Chi na dropped the ba ll this time bigtime, so they should at least send a few trillion PPEs our way and stop eating batsgrafician
    • So a search for a vaccine is all we got? After 30+ years of research and half a trillion dollars spent? Hmm. Dunno.Krassy
    • It’s not as simple and easy as throwing more money at it.monospaced
    • ^ agreedKrassy
    • but the money spent should be justified by some more breakthroughs than just a search for a vaccine and "wash your hands" adviceKrassy
    • I guess it goes to show how complicated this is and not all viruses respond to vaccines, in fact most don't especially when they mutate so readily._niko
    • it took us 40 years to come up with a reliable ebola vaccine and that was with tons of money and research thrown at it. at the same time we discovered the_niko
    • smallpox vaccine almost buy luck by exposing a person with the similar cowpox virus and letting the body form antibodies and thus immunity to smallpox._niko
    • Right, we have solar energy, wifi, satelites in orbit, brain embedded medical devices, self-driving cars, etc yet we got "wear a mask" when it comes to VirologyKrassy
    • Sounds like a lot of Virology 'scientists' and 'researchers' are doing fuck all and just collecting grant $. No breakthroughs. No accountability.Krassy
    • sounds like a pretty reductive way to view science and medicine.inteliboy
    • I also DEMAND to know why we can't reverse engineer millions of years of evolution and natural selection. Maybe it appears simple but it's far from it.dorf
    • Krassy must be one of Trump’s top advisors.imbecile
    • I can't get my head around the level of ignorance in Krassy's posts here. There are over 21 vaccines being trialled within 2 months of discovery of the viruskingsteven
    • it's like he's seriously asking. 30 billion a year and we can't live forever yet? as the world gets smaller the risk of pandemics gets biggerkingsteven
    • How dare you krassy. You are so ignorant to question the experts. Get him QBN! Protect your precious communism!Hayoth
    • there were multiple coronavirus vaccines researched at the time of SARS but funding was pulled. 6 months after this is over it'll be forgotten about tookingsteven
    • @imbecile, please don't make this political, as I didn't either. (For the record, I can't stand Trump prob as much if not more than you)Krassy
    • @kingsteven please enlighten me as to the 'level of ignorance.' What an I ignorant about? I am full aware of the vaccines being developed.Krassy
    • I celebrate scientific advances and am not here to discredit any efforts made! I just question the use/misuse of funds and the vaccines-only approach.Krassy
    • There appears to be a lack of research in the field of functional medicine, particularly in studying the microbiome.Krassy
    • maybe this will help you understand... top mathematicians and statisticians with the most powerful computers can not predict lottery numbers.imbecile
    • ^ LOL! what!? haha. Silly 'analogy' to what I am talking about. Tnx much for helping me understand . Pffft..Krassy
    • the virus reacts to human dna in a very particular way, the result varies from virus to virus, to cure or subside the effects takes a very particular antibioticimbecile

    • Haha are you even remotely in this line of work Krassy? Where did you get a quote like this from?yuekit
    • Not saying this is necessary wrong as I know nothing about it either. Just find it funny how everyone is an "expert" these days on every topic.yuekit
    • From what I am reading here...

    • ..."functional medicine" does not sound like something I would want the government to be investing billions of dollars in.yuekit

    • I'm sure you can dig up stupid quotes from Democrats too...but the idea that no one could have known it was a threat three months ago is ridiculousyuekit
    • I mean this is not distant history...we can all look back to January and see that the media and public health officials were already taking it seriously.yuekit
    • Even people here on QBN were talking about it. Are we really that smart? :)yuekit
    • What's funny is our own 'cosmo' from NT/QBN past works for a media outlet and has been 'warning' me for over 3 months this was coming... I laughed it off. :/PonyBoy
    • Anyway... I'm not gonna Mon Morning QB this shit anymore... gives me a headache. 'Everyone' got this shit wrong at the start and has changed their tune.PonyBoy
    • That's what Trump would LIKE you to believe but it's very easy to go back and see it's not true.yuekit
    • Yeah. Sure. But the president went beyond just ignoring it. He called it a hoax and went against best advice several times.monospaced
    • His actions spurred Fox News to spread misinformation and endanger many. They credit trump for it too.monospaced
    • not all leaders fucked up, pure nonsense, just look at the scales of fuck uppery .. and than rank el trumpo loco.neverscared

    • I really could care less about Trump, sick of talking about him. However it's VERY well documented that he ignored the warnings on this.yuekit
    • And I'm saying well documented aside from the fact that he was on TV for a month comparing it to the flu :)yuekit
    • The fact that conservatives think they can rewrite history when the whole thing literally just happened a couple months ago is baffling.yuekit
    • That same history where you fail to mention nearly ALL the big leaders on the left did the exact same thing? And don't tell me it was cuz TRUMP was doing it. :)PonyBoy

    So, we are now using Medicare to pay hospitals for anyone who needed Covid treatment.

    Mark my words: in a few years (or less!) Republicans will be sharing numbers to argue how we should get rid of Medicare because it's so far in debt. "Look how much we spend on Medicare!", they'll say.
