Lol talk about throwing stones in a glas house. Bet that guy is a steaming lefty that got great satisfaction from publishing that.

Norway's government handling of this has been very poor. Way way late on travel restrictions/bans, bad quarantine policies, a **** ton of mistakes and really just showing off a lot of incompetence. It's also very hard to qualify for testing, at this point you either need to be very ill or health personnel.

When that's said I've followed the developments of covid-19 for quite a while now, and I believe that the US handling of this is probably the worst of any "modern" countries, and I'm afraid that the consequences can become wast.

USA got 3.01 times more confirmed cases of covid then Norway, but somehow you got 23 times as many fatalities. That is extremely worrisome, and should tell you how much your health system and government has failed.

Your health system model is by design also very vulnerable when it comes to handling a proper pandemics, think about all the infected people without a health insurance doing there best to dodge your health care.

- pay the same in taxes
- others get universal healthcare
- you get fuked over by insurance companies and providers
- gubmint tells you it's all cool, because you have freedom and they're commies anyway, and the others "didn't earn it"
- "haha, take that poorcels, lmao commies"

And then proceed to call out other for shallow and dumb logic.

Sure I buy that argument, but you still got the lowest amount of testing per capita, so I would imagine it will hit many more retirement homes in the future.

Link to their site and the text:

https://www.ntnu.edu/corona/students-abroad

Recommend that you travel home to Norway
In line with the advice from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I, as NTNU’s Rector, strongly recommend that all NTNU students who are outside Norway return home.

This applies especially if you are staying in a country with poorly developed health services. This also applies for countries with poorly developed collective infrastructure, for example the USA, where it can be difficult to get transport to the airport if you don't have a car. The same applies if you don't have health insurance.




Original tweet, although the text is slightly different:

Its not that simple.

population of norway: 5 million
population of California: 40 million

dumb comparison. Its "national" healthcare not state. States are all different. National would be for 350 million. Socialistic systems break down when populations rise to such large numbers.

The US health care industry is also the most innovative in the world with the US being the leader in medical research, drug development, and the development of medical technology which other nations rely on to sustain their systems. The US is basically the world’s medicine cabinet and the funding to maintain this health care empire comes almost entirely from the private sector.

Just commie thoughts all around y'all are uneducated.

Population difference is a huge factor and especially the burden of illegal immigrants who use emergency rooms as a personal doctor and give fake info and we have a much larger aging population than other nations with extensive decades of care needed while in other nations they dont live as long and our old people actually survive since we actually generally have abundant food and peaceful lives... The sheer volume of it definitely has a logistical limit. Not sure what your "economics benefit you" comment was about. made zero sense. quite the opposite actually.

Americans are more individualistic and merit based anyway. nothing is free. if everyone worked to their full extent then maybe the theory would be possible. Everyone putting forth the effort means our medical professionals would receive proper compensation for their labor. The reality is that people often just do enough to get by or do nothing at all. Many lack responsibility for thier action such as drug use and bringing children into the world they cannot afford if the first place leaving society to pick up the slack.

There are many long reaching repercussions to socializing everything under the sun. If you look at the liberal utopia of the Scandinavian states you realize in recent decades their labor force has shrunk and people no longer put for the best effort. Why work hard when government will keep you instead. Basically turning into gerbil on a spinning wheel. universal healthcare doesn't require one to put forth the effort to keep healthy so they turn into pathetic communist brainwashed underdeveloped sub humans.

Again, commies dont realize theres no point to life other than reward, they always dont comprehend the long term effects of nothing having any merit.

The truth is we dont WANT socialist crappy health care. Both logisticaly impossible and in principle it not wanted. In the end we pay insurance directly while they pay their gov directly. overall the same end just ours is a meritocracy that rewards people who are making an effort to contribute to society.

Your knickers get in such a twist when people point out that the American healthcare system sucks ass for all but the extremely rich or extremely well insured (and the well insured can be put into bankruptcy if they’re unfortunate enough to get the wrong health issues)

It’s almost like it’s a personal slight

That's usually how things go when all the money goes towards military, instead of things like education and infrastructure. Wealthy nation, for what? Still grateful to be American, but things could be 100x better.

They are going to get worse before they get better. Debt service is a major problem and slated to get worse if we plan to pay full Social Security and Medicaid benefits in a timely manner. We should have been digging ourselves out for decades, but we're digging ourselves in at record speed and this is going to compound the problem many times over.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.
