"The researchers compared the coronavirus response of the U.S. to that of six other countries South Korea, Japan, Australia, Germany, Canada, and France and found that the American government's response to the pandemic rated unfavorably against them all.
The U.S. has suffered a COVID-19 fatality rate more than double that of Canada and 50 times that of Japan. Extrapolating from the deaths per 100,000 people in each country, the researchers estimated how the U.S. might have fared had it followed the example of a more robust response. The answer: always better than it did in reality.
"If the U.S. had followed Canadian policies and protocols, there might have only been 85,192 U.S. deathsmaking more than 132,500 American deaths 'avoidable.'
If the U.S. response had mirrored that of Germany, the U.S. may have only had 38,457 deathsleaving 179,260 avoidable deaths," the researchers wrote......
We should model ourselves on the best. We should be the best," Redlener said. "We have the resources, the economy, the scientific expertise to do this the right way. We're facing a lethal pandemic, and we had very misguided leadership that chose to berate the purveyors of masks and social distancing. The president himself became a superspreader. He has blood on his hands....
Researchers cite several well-known but catastrophic factors that plagued the U.S. response: insufficient testing, delayed lockdowns, a lack of a unified federal response, and a failure to mandate non-medical interventions like masks and social distancing.
American leaders, the researchers wrote, have shown a "failure to model best practices," especially wearing masks during public appearances."
