下面的一段是从The Atlantic上的一篇文章里copy来的。文章太长了,我实在没兴趣通读,只扫着看看,觉得下面这段最有趣。 https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/12/pandemic-year-two/617528/
COVID-19 will neither be the last pandemic nor the worst. Its lessons will dictate how well the U.S. prepares for the next one—and the country should start with its understanding of what preparedness actually means. In 2019, the Global Health Security Index used 85 indicators to assess how ready every country was for a pandemic. The U.S. had the highest score of all 195 nations, a verdict that seems laughable just one year later. Indeed, six months into this pandemic, the index’s scores had almost no correlation with countries’ actual death rates. If anything, it seems to have indexed hubris more than preparedness.
