Teen Who Died of Covid-19 Was Denied Treatment Because He Didn't Have Health Insurance
A 17-year-old boy in Los Angeles County who became the first teen believed to have died from complications with covid-19 in the U.S. was denied treatment at an urgent care clinic because he didn’t have health insurance, according to R. Rex Parris, the mayor of Lancaster, California. Roughly 27.5 million Americans—8.5 percent of the population—don’t have health insurance based on the latest government figures.

“He didn’t have insurance, so they did not treat him,” Parris said in a video posted to YouTube. The staff at the urgent care facility told the teen to try the emergency room at Antelope Valley (AV) Hospital, a public hospital in the area, according to the mayor.

“En route to AV Hospital, he went into cardiac arrest, when he got to AV hospital they were able to revive him and keep him alive for about six hours,” Parris said. “But by the time he got there, it was too late.”

The Lancaster teen tested positive for covid-19, but the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is reportedly evaluating the case to see if there’s another explanation for his death. The initial cause of death was explained on Tuesday as septic shock from complications with covid-19. The teen’s father has tested positive for covid-19 as well. The teen’s death has been removed from the official U.S. death toll, according to Public Health Director Dr. Barbara Ferrer, who gave a press conference on March 25.

Really bad. How many people like me? Fighting for disability for years now. No insurance or anything. Paid an above average tax rate for most of my life.

I live in a “destination” area and am sure the wealthy house owners will show up more and more.
Absolutely terrified of “reopening”.

Thousands of people here work in tourist related jobs including my wife and myself.

SAME! Our city banned all vacation rentals and motels currently. They’re asking second home owners to stay at their primary residence, but I have zero faith in people (not because of covidiots, I’ve never had faith in humans.)

Just saw a report on msnbc where a group of us clothing manufacturers are workig with central american suppliers to start making hospital masks. By next week, they should be shipping up to 10,000 masks per day, with a capacity of 3,000,000 masks per week within a month.

These are just cloth masks, but they help.

Sadly they really don't. If you don't know how to work in a fabric mask it can be much worse than nothing. For example you can't speak in them as it reduces their efficacy below 20 minutes. I came to surgery when we were in the process of phasing out fabric drapes and masks because they were ineffective. They can't stop anything even close to .3 microns they merely keep your breath from going straight into the surgical field and once moist they will hold onto contagion, wick it through the mast and spread it as an aerosol when dry.

I do not understand why they are not using Central Supply's ETO sterilization on N95s et al.

What the hospitals near us are doing is wearing their standard masks under these. Then when they have to switch rooms, they merely change out the cloth mask and keep the better hospital mask on under it. It saves the ones that work from being single use.
