Honestly, with 70k cases a day in States, idk if African country needs it more or just average Americans.
老实说,美国每天有7万病例,我不知道是非洲国家更需要它,还是普通的美国人更需要。
Jetisr1
The US can actually afford to test people, a large chunk of nations in Africa can't do that, much less care for the people who do get infected. South Africa is one of the wealthier countries in Africa, and we're doing 10k a day after a hard lockdown. If it's this bad here, I can't imagine how bad it is in places like Zimbabwe.
美国实际上有能力对检测人们,非洲的大部分国家做不到,更不用说照顾那些真正被感染的人了。南非是非洲最富裕的国家之一,我们在完全封锁之后每天检测一万人次。如果这里的情况都这么糟糕了,我无法想象像津巴布韦这样的地方会有多糟糕。
reifrids
Exactly I really think South Africa is doing everything it can in regards to testing capacity with the infrastructure and corruption present. Even with that only 45 percent of all the tests conducted are through government institutions. Furthering that we still are by no means at the testing capacity needed to fulfill its purpose of containing those infected. Africa needs to do something but it can't.
的确,我认为南非正在尽其所能,在当前的基础设施和腐败的情况下进行检测。即便如此,只有45%的检测是通过政府机构进行的。进一步说明,我们仍然无法达到以控制感染者为目的所需的检测能力。非洲需要做些事,但它做不到。
Ostarah
US is having 70k cases a day mostly out of ignorance, not because they lack infrastructure or basic needs.
美国每天有7万起病例,主要是因为无知,而不是因为缺乏基础设施或基本需求。

As an American I can say by the way we’ve handled the whole situation we don’t deserve it more than other countries.
Hey Kevin! If you put that gas on your house and light it your house will burn down.
No it won’t! Watch!
Hey! My house is burning down, get over here and put it out. Why didn’t you tell me this would happen?
作为一个美国人,我可以说,从我们处理整个局势的方式来看,我们不比其他国家更应该得到药物。
嘿,凯文!如果你把煤气放在你的房子上,然后点燃它,你的房子就会烧毁的。
不,不会的,看着!
嘿!我的房子着火了,快过来把火扑灭。你为什么不告诉我会发生这种事?
Occulus1975
As an American I can say that everyone deserves the best care humanly and technologically possible, regardless of who "deserves" it more, for my own safety's sake.
作为一个美国人,我可以说,为了我自己的安全,每个人都应该得到最好的人道和技术上的照顾,不管谁“更应该”得到照顾。

Unemployment protection exists in America, it does not in the majority of Africa. There is a place to discuss America's social problems, but not on a thread about the prioritisation of aid to developing countries.
美国存在失业保护,而非洲大部分地区没有。我们有讨论美国社会问题的地方,但没有地方讨论对发展中国家援助的优先顺序。

You'll find that people who spent most of their lives feeling stupid gravitate towards these lines of thinking because it makes them feel like they know something that the people who made them feel stupid their whole life don't know.
你会发现,那些一生中大部分时间都觉得自己愚蠢的人,会被这些思维方式所吸引,因为这让他们觉得自己知道一些他们认为一生都愚蠢的人所不知道的事情。

I don’t know. This is certainly true of some. Unfortunately I think there are also those of average or better intelligence that are simply paranoid/gullible enough to attribute to malice when negligence is the likely answer. It’s an easier trap to fall into as society gets increasingly divided.
我不知道。对于某些人来说,确实如此。不幸的是,我认为还有一些智力一般或者更好的人,他们只是偏执或者容易上当受骗,当疏忽是可能的答案时,他们就会把这归咎于恶意。随着社会日益分化,这是一个更容易陷入的陷阱。

It's also a bit of Dunning Kruger: "I'm a highly trained engineer and I find the idea that complex things like life could assemble themselves without a designer ludicrous, therefore evolution is bunk."
Richard Dawkins would be able to show him incontrovertible evidence for evolution, but his experience designing complex systems reinforces his conviction that there must be a designer makes him overestimate the veracity of his opinion against Dawkins.
Never mind that Dawkins' knowledge of the domain is expert and specific.
If that engineer looked at a bridge that Dawkins designed he'd be horrified at how much is wrong with it, but he doesn't ever consider that's how Dawkins would feel about an engineer opining on evolutionary biology.
It's strange when highly trained and intelligent people can get things so wrong, I think most of the time it's because they know just enough about a subject to have an opinion but not enough knowledge to know how wrong that opinion is. Their self confidence in their knowledge and training introduces blind spots.
这也有点像邓宁 · 克鲁格的风格: “我是一名训练有素的工程师,我觉得像生命这样的复杂事物可以在没有设计师的情况下自行组装的想法很荒谬,所以进化论是一派胡言。”
理查德 · 道金斯可以向他展示无可辩驳的进化论证据,但是他设计复杂系统的经验更加坚定了他的信念,即一定有一个设计师,这使得他高估了自己对道金斯观点的真实性。
不在乎道金斯在生物领域的知识是专家和专业的。
如果那位工程师看到道金斯设计的桥梁,他一定会被这座桥的问题吓到,但他从来没有想过,如果道金斯是一位工程师,对进化生物学发表意见,他会是什么感觉。
我认为大多数情况下,这是因为他们对一个主题的了解只够得出一个观点,却没有足够的知识来知道这个观点有多么错误。他们对自己的知识和培训的自信引入了盲点。

You can be smart in one field and a fuckin idiot in another. A good example I like to use is Ben Carson, undeniably one of the best neural surgeons in the world, is a fucking terrible politician. Too many people attribute someone who is an expert in one field to being an expert in all fields.
你可能在一个领域很聪明,但在另一个领域却是个白痴。我喜欢用一个很好的例子,本 · 卡森,不可否认的,世界上最好的神经外科医生之一,是一个糟糕的政治家。很多人认为某个领域的专家就是所有领域的专家。

I find myself experiencing this in reverse. I’m an accountant but I’ve always had an immense interest in several fields of science. I delve into medical journals regularly and feel that I have a pretty decent understanding of a few limited topics of interest. But because I’m not technically in the field I feel like it isn’t my place to argue with people that are rabidly anti-science because I’m not truly qualified. A good friend of mine is a PHD in bacteriology and she says even she feels like that in regards to covid discussions because she is a bacteriologist not a virologist.
So most of the time my arguments are along the lines of listen to epidemiologists not chiropractors.
我发现自己的经历正好相反。我是一名会计,但我一直对几个科学领域有着浓厚的兴趣。我定期钻研医学期刊,感觉自己对一些有限的感兴趣的话题有相当不错的理解。但是因为我不是这个领域的专家,我觉得我没有资格和那些狂热反科学的人争论,因为我不是真正的专业人士。我的一个好朋友是细菌学的博士,她说即使是在关于视网膜炎的讨论中,她也有这种感觉,因为她是一个细菌学家而不是病毒学家。
所以大多数时候,我的观点都是听流行病学家的意见,而不是听脊椎按摩师的意见。

Conspiracy theories are interesting. One of the smartest people I know, an engineer whose job it is to literally invent new tools and machines for companies who have a problem they can't figure out how to solve... genuinely believes the governments of the world are conspiring together to hide evidence of aliens visiting Earth.
He's so smart. But somehow he can't let go of this one idea.
阴谋论很有意思。我认识的最聪明的人之一,一个工程师,他的工作就是为那些无法解决问题的公司发明新的工具和机器... 他真诚地相信世界各国政府正在合谋隐藏外星人访问地球的证据。
他很聪明,但是不知怎么的,他就是放不下这个想法。

In 2020, aliens are the least crazy conspiracy theory. Probably also the one with the most evidence, with the Pentagon admitting the video leaks were real.

Accept that there’s things you don’t know and that’s okay. Einstein was incredibly smart in mathematics but couldn’t come up with a “theory of everything”. American society constantly puts pressure on us to compete so if you come out feeling like you know less than someone else it eats and you and you try to find ways to undo that. It’s okay to know as much as you know and do what you do well. Focus your attention away from the conspiracies and onto the tangible things you have and can do. Everybody can love a family, volunteer for their community, etc. These are things way more important to life anyways.
接受有些事情是你不知道的,这没关系。爱因斯坦在数学方面非常聪明,但却无法提出“万物理论”。美国社会不断地给我们施加竞争的压力,所以如果你觉得自己比别人知道的更少,你就会想办法消除这种压力。你知道的越多,做你擅长的事情就越好。把你的注意力从阴谋集中到你已经拥有和能够做的实际的事情上。每个人都可以热爱家庭,为他们的社区做志愿者,等等。不管怎么说,这些事情对生活来说更重要。

Its okay to be interested in conspiracies. Many people are and it could actually be a fun way to think critically about some of the norms.
Some conspiracies have turned out to be true decades down the line, but it's when you start believing the wacked out shit, or anything really without critical thought.
Dont believe the fools who think we didnt go to the moon, or that Bill Gates is the illuminati leader who wants to kill half the world, its moronic.
对阴谋感兴趣是正常的。许多人都是这样,而且这实际上是一个有趣的方式来批判性地思考一些规范。
有些阴谋在几十年后被证明是真的,但是当你开始相信那些胡说八道时,或者任何没有批判性思维的东西的时候。
不要相信那些认为我们没有登上月球的傻瓜,也不要相信认为比尔 · 盖茨是想要杀死半个世界的光明会领袖的傻瓜。

think of the conspiracy that forcing us to wear masks is the government trying to control us... how?
wearing a mask is actually the complete opposite. It is probably harder to ID you when you wear a mask.
The government wants facial recognition. Wearing a mask defeats that right?
But then again the very people who are afraid of being tracked are carrying around a phone 24/7 posting their fears on facebook.
I work with a guy who is exactly like this. Fears the government, doesn't wear a mask, doesn't want to be tracked, but always has his phone on him.
想想强迫我们戴口罩的阴谋,就是政府试图控制我们... 怎么控制?
戴口罩实际上是完全相反的。戴口罩可能更难辨认你的身份。
政府想要面部识别,戴口罩就不能识别了,对吧?
但是,那些害怕被追踪的人却随身携带一部手机,在脸书上全天候地发布他们的恐惧。
我的同事就是这样的人。害怕政府,不戴口罩,不想被追踪,但总是随身带着手机。

I know another user already commented, but I’d like to build on that comment, as I think you’re missing one cultural element.
In America, we have a relatively strong sense of distrust for authority, as a whole. I personally, think this attitude is valid and supported by history (and personally, by my own views on human nature as supported by my own experiences). However, while distrust is warranted, you must also realize you can’t be paralyzed by it, and take logic such as Occam’s Razor into account.
我知道已经有另一个用户评论过了,但是我想在这个评论的基础上再进一步补充,因为我认为你遗漏了一个文化因素。
总的来说,在美国,我们对权威有一种相对强烈的不信任感。我个人认为,这种态度是正确的,并且得到了历史的支持(以及我个人对人性的看法,也得到了我个人经验的支持)。然而,虽然不信任是有根据的,但是你也必须意识到你不能被它所麻痹,并且要考虑到像奥卡姆剃刀定律这样的逻辑。(译者注:奥卡姆剃须刀原理,如无必要,勿增实体)

Capitalism requires an equal playing field. That means both parties have the freedom to consent or reject any deal, thus supply and demand is the only true dictation of pricing.
You literally cannot have an equal playing field when the product is the difference between life and death in the moment. You can't choose your ambulance company. You can't choose your surgery to keep you alive or dead. Sure you can DNR... but the US constitution gives us all a right to life inherently. That means private medical capitalist structures inherently infringe upon the inalienable human rights.
It's no coincidence that the US is the only near-fully privatized healthcare system in a developed country and has some of the most fucked-up medical prices.
资本主义需要一个平等的竞争环境。这意味着双方都有同意或拒绝任何交易的自由,因此供求关系是唯一真正的定价依据。
当产品是当下生死攸关的关键时,你真的不可能有一个平等的竞争环境。你不能选择你的救护车公司。你不能选择你的手术让你活着或者死去。当然你可以拒绝心肺复苏... 但是美国宪法赋予我们所有人生命的权利。这意味着私人医疗资本主义结构在本质上侵犯了不可剥夺的人权。
美国是发达国家中唯一一个几乎完全私有化的医疗体系,并且拥有一些最糟糕的医疗价格,这并非巧合。
sumason
The majority of the world is running on capitalism. You don't need to throw out an entire economic system when you catch a few flaws. Public Health Care, UBI, Public school, post secondary education paid for by the govt, etc... all these things still exist within a framework of capitalism.

I know it goes again the usual narrative but many of the big companies do supply their drugs for free, for those who cannot afford them. case in point, myself. for 5 years, I was on a monthly injection that cost $1800 each shot. The company that manufactured the drug (novartis) has a non-profit department that not only supplied the shot to me monthly for absolutely free, but they sent a nurse to my home each month to give me the shot.
我知道这又是老生常谈了,但是许多大公司确实免费为那些买不起药的人提供药品。我自己就是个很好的例子。5年来,我每个月都要一次药物注射,每次需要花费1800美元。生产这种药物的公司(诺华公司)有一个非盈利部门,他们不仅每个月免费向我提供注射的药物,而且每个月还派一名护士到我家给我打针。
quesoqueso
Exactly. There are a bunch of companies spending literally hundreds of millions or billions of dollars trying to develop a vaccine right now.
Sure, If the government fully backed ALL of them then we could just get the vaccine for close to nothing. (not counting the amount added to the debt)
Not sure what incentive a company would have to spend tens of billions of dollars trying to develop a vaccine if they were going to be told to give it to everyone for free after. They shouldn't be hardcore profiteering from it, but they at a minimum need to recoup their expenses, or they wouldn't be in business anymore.
That or we need to expect the government to step in and buy the vaccine doses with taxpayer dollars and then give them away.
没错。现在有很多公司花费数亿甚至数十亿美元来研发疫苗。
当然,如果政府全力支持所有这些项目,那么我们就可以免费得到疫苗。(不包括加入债务的金额)
不知道如果一家公司被告知要在年后免费发放疫苗,他们会有什么动机去花费数百亿美元努力开发疫苗。他们是不应该从中牟取暴利,但他们至少需要收回他们的开支,否则他们将经营不下去。
或者我们需要期待政府介入,用纳税人的钱购买疫苗,然后分发出去。
