Give me a break! I’m relating to current articles. There’s plenty of different reasons for loads of covid19 mistakes all around the world. America does not lead the world in any category. The key mistakes were the earliest ones because they botched the only true opportunity to prevent the pandemic. That leaves 2 parties, China and the WHO. Period.

Of course looking abroad for blame can be beneficial but so can looking at how the ones that handled it better fared and why. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even then, science doesn't have an explanation. Why are there states which have been under tighter restrictions doing worse than ones with less restrictions?

Alot of it has to do with population density and what they do for a living is my guess. https://www.forbes.com/sites/williamhaseltine/2020/12/17/why-covid-19-is-overwhelming-california/?sh=62385ad5192b 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

geoff. 791 Posted January 3 Our government did not even see fit to build a facility in waiting for whichever drug company got the nod. How many people could have been employed by such a project? Product has to come from foreign shores while we wait in line. Coors Light and Stella Artois are “brewed under license” here, but the cure for Covid... Canadians are literally over a barrel on this one. I guess it slipped the collective mind of those in charge... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
