This is about a fictional virus scenario study from 2012, delivered to the German Bundestag in 2013, with striking similiarities, but also differences, to the current scenario. However, the conclusion must be: the authorities should and could have done better, faster, quicker, more decisively. The federalist structure of Germany, currently works against us in full effect.
The study was ordered in (late) reaction to SARS . http://translate.google.com/translat...F25637470.html We can only hope that we can evade the dimension this study outlines over the cause of three years. In the end, we will survive and probably defeat this virus. The question is how many years it will take, how many lives, how much economic damage will be done, and how many people must suffer. Clear also is that in the coming months, and not just a few months, but the rest of this year and probably also the coming year, many things we have taken for granted so far, will change.

The thing is that even if you are very wealthy, it's not working that much better either with this system. This graph from your National Academy of Medicine shows the life expectancy for 50-yo people depending on their relative wealth in each country. It shows that in the best of cases, the wealthiest people in the US live just as long as the wealthiest in Canada or France (only men in that latter case), while the other categories quickly fall behind. In short, the system is too inefficient for additional spending to be worthwhile. If people wait for illness to become ER material in everyday life because they cannot afford otherwise, why would they act differently for Covid-19?

Your taxes are higher to pay for it.
Anyway, the New York Auto Show has been rescheduled for August. Seems like everybody is finally taking is seriously in the USA. Now if we can only match South Korea for testing but I doubt it. They're doing 20,000 tests a day with easy to use drive up testing stations because they had a plan and implemented it. https://www.hagerty.com/articles-vid...wsletter_NewDD https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51836898

No. That's the point, the taxes are LOWER pretty much everywhere else for better results:
The system is inherently inefficient in the US due to its organization, and it leads to a situation where you are more vulnerable to epidemics while getting overall inferior service, while the other countries still manage to fund well their biomedical R&D. I mean, you could save roughly one trillion dollars a year by shifting to a more efficient system (300 million people times 3000 dollars saved per capita) and it would improve the performance. Wanna go on Mars? That's how you fund it. |

Forgot that one. It's no longer the happiest place on Earth.

My store went through eight PALLETS, that's right pallets of TP and paper towels in only a couple of hours. People know that this is a virus and not a hurricane right?

Well crap!
I think it's more a question of not wanting to go shopping among the "unclean".

Schools and universities to close for at least two weeks in France starting next Monday. The government will compensate companies that have to send people home when remote work isn't possible (if you're a factory and have to send some of your workers home, you'll still pay them but the gov' will reimburse you for that, so we don't see mass bankruptcies and lay-offs due to the epidemic).

This also shows interesting stats, notably on how spending a lot more leads to less doctors per capita, higher infant death, lower life expectancy and more preventable deaths: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health...al_comparisons People in the US aren't dumber or more fragile than elsewhere, but the healthcare system is criminally inefficient. |
