The fact that it's a consensus does not mean that it's not hysterical.
How can anyone have faith in these governments/organizations after we just watched this global failure to deal with covid?
- cmarschner 6y agoI think we haven‘t seen global failure, we have seen how different governments have come up with different solutions to protect their people. It seems that those with recent experience of handling epidemics (like MERS) have fared much better than those who haven‘t. This is simply a learning curve effect - if a pandemic were to happen again in the next 10 years, responses would be much more swift and also more consistent; it is dependent on the resistence if the healthcare system - state-run systems have much scarcer resources than other systems, decentralized systems are more resistant than centralized ones; it seems dependent on how much policy is influenced by science; populist leaders seem to fare quite badly; and finally it‘s probably a good thing to have a female leader on top.
