g-f(2)424 THE BIG PICTURE OF THE DIGITAL AGE (8/14/2021), USA Today, Refuse to get a vaccine? You might be hit with expensive medical bills, employer mandates


VIRAL KNOWLEDGE: The “genioux facts” knowledge news

If you only have some seconds





ULTRA-condensed knowledge


Alert, In the US, for all reasons, you need to get vaccinated, USA Today
  • People who choose not to get vaccinated against the coronavirus face greater odds of getting seriously ill and hospitalized – a decision that could risk not just their health, but their finances as employers mandate vaccination and insurance companies look at ways to pass on the costs of treatment.
  • Because 41% of eligible Americans have not yet been fully immunized against the virus, some are pushing a new tactic – making the unvaccinated pay a larger share of their medical bills.
      Alert, Science tells you that if you are responsible, you should get vaccinated, USA Today
        • More than 90% of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 are unvaccinated. 
        • Tens of millions of Americans who refuse vaccination make it riskier for everyone else, including kids who are not old enough to get vaccinated and have filled hospitals in some states. 
                    Alert, Experts say patients hospitalized with COVID-19 could face significant bills
                      • A Kaiser Family Foundation survey last November found that 88% of people had health insurance plans that shielded COVID-19 patients from copayments, coinsurance or annual deductibles that might require families to spend $2,800 or more before coverage kicks in.
                      • Now that vaccines are free and available to all Americans 12 and older, insurers have scaled back those waivers.
                      • Immunized people rarely are hospitalized with breakthrough infections, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of state and federal data.

                                            Opportunity, Golden knowledge for disruptive changes
                                            • As we look ahead to the world’s next great challenges—including a future pandemic—we need to remember this hard-won lesson: Human beings are not passive victims of change but active stewards of our own well-being. 
                                            • This knowledge should empower us to make the disruptive changes our societies may require, even as we support the individuals and communities that have been hit hardest.
                                                Lesson learned, The psychological immune system
                                                • Human beings possess what some researchers call a psychological immune system, a host of cognitive abilities that enable us to make the best of even the worst situation. For example, after breaking up with a romantic partner, people may focus on the ex’s annoying habits or relish their newfound free time.
                                                Lesson learned, A test of the global psychological immune system
                                                • The pandemic has been a test of the global psychological immune system, which appears more robust than we would have guessed. 
                                                Lesson learned, The astonishing resilience
                                                • The astonishing resilience that most people have exhibited in the face of the sudden changes brought on by the pandemic holds its own lessons. 
                                                • We learned that people can handle temporary changes to their lifestyle—such as working from home, giving up travel, or even going into isolation—better than some policy makers seemed to assume.
