I dunno, the places that spent the least on COVID had the best outcomes. Seems the predictions might’ve just been wrong. We should be careful before spending $1

  Correlation != causation. It's something we can figure out from calculations. The reason it was a crisis was because of overcrowded hospitals. Even with the lockdowns, we had critically ill people being treated on the floor. There's death counts and there were people who would have just died if they weren't put to sleep. The places that spent the least were likely the areas that didn't have old people or had a good density of health services to people. I'm surprised this isn't just a straightforward analogy; I thought everyone lost plenty of friends and family to COVID. Statista puts the death toll at 6.8 million even with the measures we had in place.

    I’m talking spending as a %age of GDP. Those figures were all over the map. I think we should be cautious about perverse incentives in the future.
