In Portugal, classic media frequently screams that our national excess mortality "is the absolute highest" in Europe - but omit that was only for a single week in the year, while this link shows that it's actually lower globally in time, and globally lower when compared to the majority of other countries. - What's your experience in your own country about this? We have a state National Health Service good enough to give us those nice real statistics, and, whose tasty business volume (if it were a private enterprise), is yearned by economic groups that have the financial muscle to buy constant Fox-like spin on how state health is "supposedly" so superlative bad, and therefore should be privatized. This paper clearly disproves their narrative - I guess this media narrative is driven 80% by economic interest / ideology - "get rid of the state"; and would even risk 20% by Putin's destabilization efforts.
