    My own conclusions as a US citizen:

    • Stay up to date on your personal vaccines
    • Visit a travel vaccine clinic for “non-routine” vaccines currently recommended for travel to Asia, Africa, and Latin America
    • Have some N95 masks
    • Don’t depend on the US government to keep you safe or heathy - you are on your own now

    EDIT: Received some messages asking which vaccines to get: if I had to prioritize one to start with, I would get the Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine first (one adult booster is recommended)

      Healthcare in this country is an abusive relationship. We need to nationalize the hospitals and disband health insurance companies and expand medicaire/medicaid/any single payer system for 100% of Americans.

      You want private healthcare? You pay the going rate just like anything else. It’s already a two tiered system. We could at least pay less and have it regulated with oversight.

      I’m not naive, this will never happen in the current political landscape until we have fewer healthcare CEOs

      Edit: I’m agnostic as to the method we get to single payer tax funded insurance but we all as Americans need to band together on this.

      Crap. Have to make an appointment. Had mumps, and maybe measles but that doesn’t mean I can’t get them again.
