True.  Do you have a link to figures on how that changes fatalities by age group?

The evidence is that places which do have public health care systems tend to have have a lot more fatalities than the US does, though - Italy, Spain, France, basically Europe in general.

True.  That's why I think this is most likely a false regeneracy.  Wars break up oligopolies on the losing side.  I can't see this pandemic breaking up any oligopolies, not even health care oligopolies.

2. Europe is ahead of us on the transmission curve. I know in Oklahoma where we should be called the Fatter State instead of Sooner State, the case fatality rate is about 4% in most counties right now. When the ERs saturate, the case fatality rate will of course increase. Perhaps using "metabolic syndrome" instead of "type 1/2 diabetes"  would be better for the US.  Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of problems of high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and with maybe?  diabetes as an end state with high blood sugar. Insulin resistance is the state before overt diabetes.  As for public private healthcare, I'd suggest  Japan, S. Korea, Germany, and later on the Scandinavian States. I using the metric of current case fatality in the US and since we're having problems worse than those further down the curve, well, that's another thing to think about when locking down yourself even though not mandated here in stupid state. The performance of the US so far means a nice bear market fundamental indicator of continued bear market conditions.
