Why U.S. pandemic management has failed - STAT
Underinvestment in U.S. epidemic engines — jails, prisons, schools, and nursing homes — undermine public health and biosecurity for everyone.
Hasnain says:
This is a really interesting study. I’ll have to go through and read the paper to understand everything in detail.
“For far too long, U.S. policymakers have exhibited more interest in spending tax dollars on nationally self-destructive punishment systems than on supporting people living in vulnerable circumstances. As a result, the country has allowed unsafe spaces of neglect — from prisons and jails to nursing homes and decrepit schools in poor areas — to grow at the heart of our communities. Where we ought to have built spaces of care, we have instead built epidemic engines.”
