    If you are vaccinated get out there and live your life

    If you are not vaccinated then darwinism will sort you out

    Bit of a scare story last week. My friend's dad had internal bleeding into his lungs. The public hospitals didn't want to take them, as it was a kind of slow death, rather than A+E and even the private's didn't want to take it on either. None of them. They called every hospital in HK.

    In the end, a friend of a friend contacted a private doctor they knew personally, who agreed to take them. $25,000usd later and post surgery, he survived but had it gone on longer, maybe not.

    The cancer isn't going away so eventually it might be a case of no-money, no life.

    In any event, I don't feel safe here.
    If I was able to speak to a doctor over zoom, even if for limited scenarios, that would be reassuring, at least.
    Something sounds off here. The Hospital Authority is far from great, largely due to abuse of the service and low resources, but they don't leave people for dead.

    Yeah, and private hospitals will take anything as long as you can pay (except COVID19). If you are slowly dying, the slower the better.
