What marijuana withdrawals?
A little bit of anxiety, ever so slightly labored breathing, nothing major, most people don't even get it, it's not even chemical dependency so much as a habitual one. It's a slight annoyance at best. I don't really get it anymore because I don't smoke enough.
It's never bothered me, I have had friends say they have trouble sleeping without it but I think they are probably just insomniacs anyway.
I don't even get cravings, the only difference is that I remember my dreams more often when I don't smoke it.
Sometimes I have trouble sleeping without it, not usually. Though when I am high it's a lot easier to sleep, and I tend to remember my dreams more often when I smoke it.

tbh weed withdrawal sounds way worse than any Corona symptoms. I'd rather have Corona than go through weed withdrawals. Speaker must be pretty pampered and weak to think this viral hoax is anything to worry about. I guess he just isn't cut out to be a real American. Who knows what is wrong with him. I know he was part of some Socialist Group on Facebook.

He showed up and got treated, regardless of his ability to pay.

People in China get screwed over paying for health care a lot like we do here in US.
Point being: who in the holy fuck is going to go 3 grand in medical debt just because they have a fever?? Our barely functional health insurance system ensures we won’t catch community spread anywhere until it is much too late. In Europe, people get symptoms and call the healthcare system to find out what to do. Nobody gets slammed with a three thousand dollar penalty for trying to prevent the spread of a deadly disease there. Our system is on par with the third world in this respect.
I don't disagree that our healthcare system has some major structural flaws.

Regarding calling in for advice, I do this all the time. Not sure how it would work with COVID-19, but I can call my PCP and get a prescription without ever going into the clinic in some cases.

I mean: in Europe people call in for advice on what to do, and the health care system tells them how to get help. They are not slammed with a three thousand dollar penalty for trying not to spread SARS-2 to everybody in their lives.

Our broken, rapacious health care system sets up perverse incentives for people to not seek help when they need it, and in the face of a deadly pandemic, where they face what amounts to a huge fine for doing the right thing.. shit's not gonna happen. Our version is this.. infected dude calls in and says he has flu-like symptoms. Nurse tells him he needs to get tested, but it's going to cost him three thousand dollars out of pocket. He says fuck that. Turns out it wasn't influenza but SARS-2. He spreads it to six other people instead of going to get tested and possibly quarantined early on.

Stupid policy decisions have consequences, and here is the consequence of market republican and corporatist democrat health care policy. Enjoy.

They won't test you for COVID19 anyway. Not unless you have been to China. I doubt there are enough tests on hand to even do that. CDC said they have what, 4-500 tests on hand nation wide?

You can test people for influenza. If a person is presenting flu-like symptoms, the influenza test is negative, and there is no bacteria detected..

Based on reports that the coronavirus tests have to be run up to six times before you get a positive result, I'd say we are better off basing our response on influenza and bacterial tests. If it's not those two things, then treat the patient as a coronavirus case and isolate them until you can determine what it is. I keep reading our fake news media talking about how the tests suck, but none of them seem to quote any person stating the fucking obvious, and I sure as shit know most Americans are too dumb to figure it out.

I've heard that sometimes the virus can actually hack into nuclear missile silos and launch false flag operations causing WW3. Keep in mind, this is from Zero hedge which broke the case that this was a bio weapon.

This is just like the movie Neon Genesis Evangelion The End

Anime added to the long list of things worse than Corona. Way worse I'd add. To be honest we should already have been isolating people who watch Anime and keeping them away from the general public. There would be less than 1000 millenials left nationwide...
