@AusThinkingGirl @taipan168 @covidtweets No one is asking for it in the name of covid.
Essentially every society in the world decided that the impact of covid (10-20x of flu in fatality, plus consideration of non-fatal impacts on hospitalization, etc.) was large enough to incur costs. The magnitude matters.
@AusThinkingGirl @taipan168 @covidtweets 没有人以 covid 的名义要求它。
基本上，世界上每个社会都认为新冠病毒的影响（流感致死率的 10-20 倍，加上考虑对住院治疗的非致命影响等）足以产生成本。量级很重要。
