CV and mad panic behaviour

[kruddler]

The science isn’t the same the world over.  Western science is way ahead of third world science and the status of scientific research  varies considerably from one country to the next.  India had very little idea of its COVID death toll and was unable to formulate a coherent response.  Sweden’s scientific response was at odds with most other western countries … and their citizens paid the price.

Even in our country, the scientific advice varied considerably from State to State and from State to Commonwealth.  How much of that was down to scientists conforming to political demands is debatable.

Thats why i included this...
"As we know, the science is the same the world over, essentially, some people are ahead of others and what not, but eventually everyone is on the same page."

The laws of science are the same the world over. Some people are slower to adapt to it, but eventually catch up.

re Sweden...
I had a mate who went over there just before covid to live.
He was more than happy with how Sweden was dealing with it.
Not sure of how it is now, but their economy was thriving relative to other countries.

How you view successes and failures is dependent on your own (unintended) biases.
Which is the same for politicians etc.
