Maybe in the US but in the UK at the moment 15.6% of ICU cases are deaths.

Source:
https://www.icnarc.org/DataServices/Attachments/Download/76a7364b-4b76-ea11-9124-00505601089b


That's 15% of all ICU cases not resolved ones. If you just look at discharged vs died, it's basically 50/50 (344 vs 346 I believe).

I'll have to find the other numbers, originally saw it on Reddit. I think the 75% was NY's numbers.

Ah, another reminder that the "best country on Earth" is actually kind of a shithole

Not a fair statement.

The US has a much larger population and a different healthcare system. Just looking at broad ICU surivor percentages tells you nothing

If you can afford it, the healthcare in the US is actually a higher standard

Oh yes absolutely. In another post I pointed this out. I just think it's important if people quote the 50/50 figure they know the full picture and that it's a dynamic situation. Makes great headlines though.

Posting such stats only including those who have completed without knowing what those who are currently still in ICU, while true based on the current data available, is almost certainly not going to give an accurate representation of the reality either. It's probably why the stats come with a massive caveat in the document.

Welcome back from Warned.

You are currently in the UK.

How much money do you have homeboy? Will you avail yourself of the NHS? For which you have paid a maximum of, what, 1 years National Insurance?

Or you gonna fund testing and treatment yourself? Since, you're not a citizen on the country you're in right now?

I'll wait.

You trying to make this personal is sad and shows you already have no faith in your argument.

I'm not attacking the NHS or defending the US' healthcare syste (Far from it), I'm just pointing out how it's silly to take a random blanket statistic from different systems of different nations with different populations and then reach conclusions from it.

Other users have already pointed out that the relevant figure is closer to 50/50 and that's even worse in private hospitals in the UK.

Where, since you are in England, will you source your healthcare from?

It's a very simple question.

You have a high fever, cough, shakes.

Where are your principles now?

You are in England. For those reading this thread UR is literally in England. Trapped, with free healthcare,

How deep is your wallet? Because you can get treated for free, or you can keep coughing and shit-posting, and pay privately for everything you desire.

If you can afford it, the healthcare in the US is actually a higher standard

Looking specifically at Health in the US the number of people without Health Insurance is increasing. So those that can afford it is decreasing. What good is a higher standard of healthcare (I question that to be honest but we can cover that later) if it isn't accessible for an increasing number of people?

Let's look at the facts. NOTE: These are from official data from the government. Sources are below.

25.6 million people didn't have health care insurance for the entire year of 2017. This increased to 27.5 million in 2018. For the country with the highest GDP in the world by a significant margin and a GDP per Capita value that puts the US at 11th this should be shocking news for Americans to read. Worth bearing in mind that the US being 11th on the list of highest GDP per Capita also puts it as the number one G20 country on the list. So why is it struggling so much to provide healthcare to an increasing number of it's citizens compared to countries that have weaker economies?

You're preaching to the choir man.

Conservatives.

Boris Johnson, Cameron and May have been trying to do the same thing for a decade now in the UK and no one cares, hell they are massively popular.

There are many grocery store workers who already have died because they were considered 'essential' and they probably struggled to get any quality care. I'm sorry but that's just how I feel.

Firstly. Full disclosure. I'm not a Boris fan. In the lead up to the 2020 General Election I was very vocal about why I didn't want him in power.

That being said... Why are you including Johnson in that list?

Let's review his last decade (and beyond). He was Mayor of London from 2008 - 2016 and a backbencher between 2018 - 2019. His only cabinet position was Foreign Secretary for two years between 2016 - 2018 which he did an absolutely disastrous job and resigned from.

From what I can see and research he's hardly been instrumental in the state the NHS currently is in. Especially as for most of the last decade he's not being on the frontbench and more than half of that time he wasn't even in Government.

The conservatives having been selling off and privatising parts of the NHS for years. Making access to medicene and procedures harder.

Johnson himself has stated he doesn't think the NHS should be free and people should pay for it despite being taxed.

The only thing stopping them have been people like me challenging them. People like you sit by and don't care. Then go and vote conservative

This doesn't make much sense no matter how many times you say "butthurt"

You have no empathy and don't care about someone suffering because someone else might hypothetically not care about someone else suffering?

As already mentioned numerous times I'm not a Johnson or Tory fan but if you're going to make claims like this then it's still appropriate for you to provide sources. At the very least it will add some more ammo to my arsenal in future debates for people defending him.
