Re: Wifi sniffing
Is there a "Covid Bounty" for letting people die of Covid (as opposed to other causes)?
No, but there are various schemes providing financial rewards for various treatments. And, initially, when they put people onto respirators for > 20 days that was very, very lucrative for some insurance-based schemes in some hospitals in some countries.
It's been known for a while that many healthcare systems are skewed towards expensive treatments over inexpensive prevention. For example, cancer research has had much more funding than vaccines for years. This started to change a bit with the "bird flu" epidemic when governments realised that there was virtually no vaccine research going on and also virtually no production, especially local capacity. We'd really be up shit creek if that hadn't been the case.
