Part of the job of the government is to protect the vulnerable. That includes people with low health literacy, like these people clearly have. Trump’s statements about the effectiveness of these drugs is irresponsible and encourages people to do dumb things. He is not wholly responsible, but he certainly didn’t help…

They are going to get paid for this on some level. Good PR aside, there’s no way they would take the hit on this without some form of payment coming back.

I feel so fortunate to live in a country where people are shamed for not coming to work while sick and many are likely to get fired if they don’t. 

It’s America. A vast, self-reinforcing culture of malignant lunacy.

Did you see what station this aired on?

Strong building codes are great, but it’s a double edged sword. The increase in construction cost will end up pricing more people out of the market. This was the case for some folks in Florida after Hurricane Andrew. A lot of those people who couldn’t afford to build to the new code would later end up in mobile homes.
