It's a world-wide problem that the media in every Western country seem to be spinning as a unique failure of their government, often for cynical and stupid partisan reasons. Same with the global shortage of everything needed to carry out widespread coronavirus testing.
- teruakohatu 6y agoAgreed. We had the same stories here in New Zealand, a country which currently has 40 active cases and less than one new case per day (7 day average). Yet we constantly hear how we are running out or going to run out of X or Y. More often than not I think it is logistics. Despite being a small country with centrally funded healthcare, the management of the health system is very decentralized geographically. So some doctor somewhere runs out of something, and runs straight to the media who are happy to run it on the homepage.
