all the dumbies in his replies made me realize that "only one disease's treatment is free" means a patient's bill for an extended hospital stay due to pneumonia can go from free to bankrupting if their test comes back negative. https://twitter.com/MaxTemkin/status/1244813108071325697 …

hah i can't even tell sarcasm no more, are you askin me if there's currently any influenzas or ILIs going around? Because yes always. A bad flu case can present just like it, then they're waiting in a hospital bed for the test results to see if the stay is free or not.

idk if i'd say it "pneumonia going around" as pneumonia's an umbrella of symptoms more than a category of pathogen. It's a stage in a whole lot of stuff, including non-infectious diseases like leukemia
