Perhaps there are people who, while outside of Europe, *have* had contact with armadillos and have since (re)entered?

Your choice of "explaining researcher" was excellent.

[@unreconstructed]

How are Americans with MS treated worse?

[@GrainneDhu]

@@unreconstructed, I knew two people who had MS and had gotten to the point where they were too disabled to work. In both cases, they applied for SSI and were turned down. In one case, the letter granting the appeal arrived 2 weeks after the person died of MS. In the other case, the patient died before getting the notification that their appeal had been denied again.

[@unreconstructed]

@@GrainneDhu well that's absolutely terrible and I'm sorry about that. We've really gotta start prioritizing the healthcare of American citizens.

[@GrainneDhu]

@@unreconstructed, our healthcare system is deeply dysfunctional, that's for sure. I have family in both England and South Korea where they have single payer plans and it works quite well. Wait times is one of the false bugaboos that politicians against nationalised coverage wave about. Well, I have a wound on my leg that is ready to be skin grafted but the earliest appointment I could get is in late July. How is that not a wait time???!! I can easily believe that congresscritters and other politicians don't have wait times but for the rest of us, waiting for appointments and procedures is just life as usual.

[@unreconstructed]

@@GrainneDhu I agree, it's messed up. California just voted to give illegal immigrants healthcare at the cost of taxpayers, while citizens and veterans are left out in the cold. Our hospitals are flooded with illegals giving birth and getting healthcare without paying a dime into the system and it's quite draining. If we cut out a large portion of our welfare programs, we could afford healthcare for every US citizen. But also, I know some British citizens who have come to the US to receive cancer treatments, because they would have died across the pond.

No, because that still leaves the Question of where did/does it come from, (just because they can’t grow it in a lab doesn’t mean it can’t survive outside in another way ~ ground/animal, or - even if it’s something within humans themselves.
