It is good to have insurance. I have one. But when I was trying to reach a doctor during the weekend because I had bad cough and was very worried, I couldn’t get through. The line was overloaded. At that time it hit me that, in case of emergency, different set of rules apply. Having insurance becomes almost irrelevant.
I know it is politically correct nowadays to diss US healthcare system. But in the current pandemic, it is more about government preparedness. If you let an exponentially infectious pandemic run wild without any curtailing mechanism, no matter how sophisticated the healthcare system is, it is bound to get overwhelmed.
“When the next pandemic occurs (and make no mistake, it will) and the federal government is unable to respond in a coordinated and effective fashion to protect the lives of US citizens and others, this decision by John Bolton and Donald Trump will be why.”

When a report comes out purely based some unnamed sources without any hard evidence, I am always suspicious irrespective of whether it is about US, European, Russian companies.
We have started seeing a lot of bad publicity and innuendos targeted toward Kaspersky after they uncovered and published about hacking attack against their infrastructure in recent past. Feels suspicious to me especially with comments attributed to 'former employees'.
My attitude had always been "if it is grades people want, they will get it" i.e. to get good grades that will help me go up the ladder academically while at the same time keeping in mind that the grades are not going to help me in the real world.
This pushed me to learn continuously because at the end of the day, it is what you know and what you can do that counts rather than your grades.
