All screw up, but some screw up more persistently then others. What it clearly demoinstrates is that our socio-economic systems of choice clearly do not incentivize providing proper care for the people it is meant to serve. Some still act as if this was an unforeseen event. All of this was predicted years ago after the previous SARS outbreak and well documented by the scientific community, yet governments worldwide turned a blind eye. My own 'health' minister even went as far as destroying the strategic stockpile of FFP2 masks (yes, actually destroyed as they went over their 'best used before' , not that that turns them useless overnight) then aggressively 'saved' on all social and healthcare programs and decided not to refill the strategic stockpile. Her latest blunder: panic ordering a contingent of masks from some dodgy north-African dealer without doing any due diligence, and of course in the process not only getting conned out of 3.5 million euros, but having hospital staff waiting another week on adequate protection. It boggles the mind.
