up and down 82 Posted April 5, 2020 #2495 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Moral of the story is this. Let the doctors handle the cases and let them do the full report. This is all easier said than done. Lots of countries in the world including USA still have the president as the front line person to handle the pandemic and do daily reports. No wonder the situation worsens. Politicians can never replace doctors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody was ready for it and since there is no cure (vaccine) they're all fucked. Hell, Florida still had spring break gatherings or whatever when the virus was rampant in Europe. USA being a federal country with states being basically independent actually didn't help their cause. Not to mention nobody will rally around Trump in Democratic states regardless of what he says/does. This is still a political battle to be won rather than than a health crisis. Yes, it's a political battle, which it should absolutely never be! When some states get whatever they ask for (and even more) for being friends with the president or a battleground state, while states with governors that won't come begging on their bleeding knees for mercy from the almighty president gets questioned whether they need what they're asking for. It becomes a bidding war between states with the federal government as an actor pushing up the prices. Meanwhile the EU is using RescEU to do the shopping for EU countries making it more affordable.

No wonder the situation worsens. Politicians can never replace doctors. There is no way to take politicians out of the equation. But it's really a matter of how much you listen to them. But even so, it's pretty clear that there are major differences between doctors. It's not like it's the politicians making the calls on keeping the society pretty open in Sweden. They're following the ideas of a doctor. Meanwhile it's also necessary with the politicians to consider how the country is to keep moving on (both during a lockdown and when slowly opening up). Meanwhile I must admit that I'm starting to fear if Denmark may be getting through this too easily. Things are working very well and the numbers of people hospitalized has been going down for a few days now while the numbers in ICU has been pretty steady. What I could fear is if too few has had the corona a potential second wave may need the same kinds of policies. Not expecting some kind of herd immunity, but one case more now may be one case less next time and former pandemics has shown that the second wave may very well be worse than the first. But it should be made clear that my knowledge on the subject is pretty limited. up and down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
