Passt nicht in den Corona thread: eine der weltweit renommiertesten medizinischen Fachzeitungen (US-Amerikanisch), New England Journal hat den Kaffee auf, aber sowas von: Editorial

Viele money quotes, einer davon:

„Why has the United States handled this pandemic so badly? We have failed at almost every step. We had ample warning, but when the disease first arrived, we were incapable of testing effectively and couldn’t provide even the most basic personal protective equipment to health care workers and the general public. And we continue to be way behind the curve in testing. While the absolute numbers of tests have increased substantially, the more useful metric is the number of tests performed per infected person, a rate that puts us far down the international list, below such places as Kazakhstan, Zimbabwe, and Ethiopia, countries that cannot boast the biomedical infrastructure or the manufacturing capacity that we have.“

Endet, unüblich wie man sagen könnte, mit einer Wahlempfehlung....
