If I went to a hospital emergency room for something they deemed a non emergency, I would be billed too. I always have the option to get seen by a doctor any way, so in that respect I'm better off, but there's a good chance I'd go to the general practitioners office instead to save myself a significant amount of money ... and if very unlucky collapse in the street.
SerieZ:
I have been following the numbers on a website called worldometer and the only largely affected country I feel is being accurately presenting numbers is Spain.
They also have the largest amount of people in Critical Condition.
I cannot help but feel that the other countries, including my own, are being either very arbitrary, out of resources or unwilling to present correct numbers.
The word feel has been underlines to emphasize that I obviously cannot confirm the numbers myself.
I am curios what you people think.
Kilrah:
Of course numbers will be estimations, nobody is doing large scale testing.
A friend of mine ended up in hospital twice, and wasn't tested. His symptoms weren't particularly characteristic and nobody directly told him "that's because of the virus". But when asking why he wasn't tested he was answered "well we're pretty sure you have it anyway".
The measures put in place are designed more as a general "anybody might have it, prevent them from transmitting it further" than targeted efforts, which IMO makes sense due to the long incubation period completely blurring everything so there isn't much to gain by paying for tests.

How did they die,with or by COVID19? I answer you, anybody make autopsies to these deaths. Therefore, they aren't counted like deaths by covid19 else like "natural cause".
