And no Medicaid/Medicare to pay for it. So, even if they get the care, they’ll be crushed by massive debt afterward.
If a disease with anything close to a 50% case fatality rate spreads far and wide, it’ll collapse human civilization. There won’t be anyone to collect the debt afterward. Those who survive would have to rebuild society from the ground up.
