Here is the famous binary vision of the problems, which returns at the gallop.
Do you have a double-blind, randomized definition of what you consider to be:
- a “poor country” VS a “rich country”,
(the yellow vests crisis in France is “a detail”? Is it perhaps not big enough?)
Many of these countries ('poor' as you call them ...) fared much better than us during this covid crisis.
The hecatomb has indeed taken place here in the footsteps that you consider (on the contrary) to be well off, where obesity and immunosuppression (both mental and physical) give rise to the peaks of mortality that we know, and in the heart of our care system which is dearest to us and where we have put 'our most revered and vulnerable' but separated from theirs, in the abandonment, isolation and decline of old age, that our society seems to want to hide.
While during this time, many of these 'poor' countries (and a few states wiser than France) are doing incredibly better than us, While we do not need to be properly cared for here, it is oas by chance if our chronically ill patients developed a form of 'medical tourism' when they noticed that in certain “poor countries” the health care system often knew how to solve their problem in 1 or 2 week / s whereas with us , the prescriptions given made them last for years ... in embarrassment and suffering ...
Have we become a “poor country” in the quality of care?
