If the United States had the same Covid death rate as Australia, about 900,000 lives would have been saved.

In this article from the NYT (click here) the author, Damien Cave, points out that public health coordination, trust in science, and trust in government policy led Australia to excel in preventing COVID deaths. I should add that Seattle had much better results in saving lives than the USA in general. And, as far as I’m aware, we had no COVID related deaths at Skyline. There are lessons for America to learn, but do we have the will and trust?
