In reply to [COVID News] Long-term cardiovascular outcomes of COVID-19

Thoughtful commentary as usual from @Yascha_Mounk. It’s notable that some of us who were earliest to call for pandemic restrictions are also loudest to call for them to be lifted. The vaccinated should not have to keep paying the price for those who choose to remain unvaccinated. https://t.co/OrwXOnXb2I

.@ezraklein has a good writeup of the recent Lancet study that tried to probe what explained variance among countries in Covid performance (1/x)https://t.co/qREfzzEE7W

One striking outcome: "trust in government" and "trust in fellow citizens" were among the most important factors (more important than "trust in science," among many other things)

Ezra summarizes: "Moving every country up to the 75th percentile in trust in government—where Denmark sits —would have prevented 13 % of global infections. Moving every country to the 75th percentile of trust in fellow citizens — South Korea’s level—would have prevented 40%"

This in turn raises a question: is a country as big and geographically dispersed and as ethnically diverse as the United States capable of achieving trust levels similar to a Denmark or a South Korea? I don't think so.

Making policy in the United States is more like making policy in the EU than it is in making policy in a relatively small, relatively homogeneous EU state, and I think we might do better if policymakers chose their course with our limitations in mind.

Can you foresee health care systems around the world crashing? You should be able to.

Huge study finds that Covid increases the risk of cardiovascular disease 12 months later.

"Governments & health systems around the world should be prepared to deal with the likely significant contribution of the COVID pandemic to a rise in the burden of cardiovascular diseases." https://t.co/fDjNAr8F3U

"Our results provide evidence that the risk and 1-year burden of cardiovascular disease in survivors of acute COVID-19 are substantial. " https://t.co/miNA0z3zSa
