Why Covid Patients Could Face A Lifetime Of Money Problems

Covid-19 is a particularly vicious disease. While a significant number of people remain asymptomatic, other patients could go on to develop what researchers are calling post-Covid-19 syndrome. Americans suffering from the condition are running into financial problems due to the inconsistent nature of the U.S. health-care system.

CNBC spoke with three people about their experience battling Covid and paying for their treatment. Watch the video above to learn how coronavirus treatment costs add up long after patients leave the hospital.

Were in the same boat then, I'm trying to make an appointment myself for the shot, no luck yet, You are under much greater threat though, since we only have relatively few cases here. Joe is coming through for you, so it should be pretty soon for your shot.

Perhaps in a few years we will be able to treat or cure many cancers with mRNA technology and the vast experience gained with the technology during the pandemic. They just need to plow through the billions of antibodies we produce for the right ones that kill cancer cells, some folks have very lethal ones for cancer. There aren't too many safety and regulatory hurdles when dealing with terminal patients who are being poisoned by chemo anyway. The safety data on mRNA vaccines and experience will be very important for the future development of treatments.

How Covid Vaccine Tech Could Fight Cancer Soon

The mRNA technology at the heart of two Covid-19 shots has been decades in the making. Now it may soon be used to fight cancer and HIV.

Gene therapy is replacing an unwanted/defective gene, but that's not what's happening with mRNA's. Think of it like read vs write permissions with documents on your computer. "Read" being mRNA's and "write" being gene therapy, with the files of course being your DNA. If you felt that it was too close for comfort, that's okay, because I suppose you could say it's all in the same ballpark, but there are some very important differences.
