States with Democratic governors had the highest incidence and death rates from Covid-19 in the first months of the coronavirus pandemic, but states with Republican governors surpassed those rates as the crisis dragged on, a study released Tuesday found.

“From March to early June, Republican-led states had lower Covid-19 incidence rates compared with Democratic-led states. On June 3, the association reversed, and Republican-led states had higher incidence,” the study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Medical University of South Carolina showed.

“For death rates, Republican-led states had lower rates early in the pandemic, but higher rates from July 4 through mid-December,” the study found.

FLORIDA has had mediocre rates recently and there are complaints that all of the vaccines are not being allocated by the state, or are being directed to friends of Governor DeSantis.

COVID-19 Lessons from the US Healthcare System

March 4, 2021 Leave a comment

These are some of the main thoughts and lessons about healthcare in the US:

  • The US has the worst healthcare and health indices of advanced economies, and getting worse.
  • The US healthcare excludes from participation or provides low quality service to important segments of the population, including the unemployed, the poor, black and brown people, the elderly…
  • The US, as demonstrated by the mass vaccination failure, doesn’t have a public health system, it has a highly segmented, for profit, private health system, with limited access of the whole population
  • The US healthcare system is well known to have the most expensive system in advanced economies
  • The best healthcare systems in the world are national publicly-owned or directed systems.
  • One of the political parties doesn’t care about the serious deficiencies of the US healthcare system, and have no intention to improve it.
