Trust-N-Gov't predictor of country's ability to reduce COVID

Most recently, a study published in the Lancet, a premier medical journal, pulled together vast amounts of data from 177 countries from January 2020 to September 2021, and found that trust in government and other citizens stood out as a predictor of a country’s performance against the spread of infections. By contrast, a host of other features of societies that many might consider critical factors like health care capacity did not appear to play a role in mitigating the spread of Covid.

"The best covid statistics in my experience are from Israel and the United Kingdom"

Good advice, but isn't it sad that our own CDC isn't the best? I know GB has a national system as does Israel (least I think it does) and do very well. But we are so big, with so many smart folks and so many resources, and spend more than any other nation per capita, twice that of other advanced nations. Guess that just isn't enough. Somewhere we have a problem.
