prevention is indeed better and cheaper than cure. The biggest pandemic risk actually comes from intensive agriculture in which animals are crammed together in breeding grounds for zoonotic diseases such as bird flu, swine flu, nipah etc.. Scrap #factoryfarming as well as the wildlife trade to minimise #pandemic risk.

Yes, the #US wastes a lot of $$$ when it comes to #HealthSpending. #DrugPrices and very unequal distribution of the benefits are likely culprits.

However, #LifeExpectancy also heavily depends on your eating habits (and others).

The #MediterraneanDiet seems much more effective than assumed:

we all remember the pictures from #Bergamo in the #Pandemic of 2020. #Italy's healthcare is not great, nor is #Greece's, or the ones in the #LatinAmerica.

Clipping of the table correlating health spending with life expectancy focusing on countries with a high expectancy and relatively low spending per capita.
