Yes blood labs. and others when recommended. nothing preexisting. If your strategy is to wait till cancer lets u know its there, then all I can say is good luck with that. If everyone were more proactiv, diseases would def decrease. But that takes good health insurance system also.

In 1900, few died of cancer or heart disease. Counting childhood disease deaths, the median life expectancy of men in the US was 46.
When social security was implemented, the average life expectancy for men was 62. For women it was 65. Thus, half of those who paid in to it, would die before they received a penny.

From late January to early October 2020, the US had 299,000 more deaths than the typical number during the same time period in previous years (excess deaths). At least 2 out of 3 excess deaths were from Covid-19.

Wow, shocking and groundbreaking stuff there.......
Now show the excess deaths from Jan-July and then July-Oct. Do you think they'll be a rate similar or nah?
Edit: The charts at the end of the article show excess deaths since mid august-ish BELOW EXPECTED. Irresponsible article.

Amazes me that all of these socialist liberal progressives that are fully invested in big-scary Chinaflue can get an airplane off the ground and back again. CDC, WHO and their mouthpieces MSCNNBC and NPR are ecstatic that they have a freedom-destroying cause to bolster their self-esteem.....Sick bunch...But hey, keep selling this farce and we should be able to liquidate a couple airlines and nationalize whats left
