What If It Happened Again?

Everybody has learned to adapt and cope with the Covid-19 pandemic to some extent at least, but what about our governments? Should we have confidence in our health care systems if it were to happen again? According to a new survey by Pew Research Center, the answer from the public to that question varies significantly from country to country.

Of the countries included in the survey, confidence was lowest in the United States where just 55 percent felt secure in knowing the government would be ready for another public health crisis on a similar scale to the current one. Singapore was at the other end of the scale with 93 percent.
