Compare and contrast the U.S. public health system’s response to the COVID pandemic to one other country (e.g., Italy). Provide a context for these healthcare systems – with a review of underlying health and well-being for the populations in each country. What system of health coverage is in use by each country and how do you believe it affected the response to the pandemic? Compare and contrast the healthcare capacity for each country? What are gaps for each country? Based on this comparative analysis, what are your recommendations for changes to our healthcare system – both short-term (next 1-2 months) and long-term (next 1-5 years)? Be careful of internet sources – rely most heavily on governmental sites. Required format: American Psychological Association. Rough length (but I do NOT grade on length): 5 double-spaced pages, exclusive of a title and reference page. It is critical that when you present data (which you should) you use correct metrics – namely, always correct for population (so, 110k deaths in country A vs. 50k deaths in country B is clearly meaningless data if the population is 200k for Country A and 2 million for Country B – in this example, per capita mortality is the useful metric).
