I tore this apart in a comment in the original feddit post. For you Australians the tl;dr is that the data is outdated, with some of it being from 2014, while other data is from the pandemic. NONE of the data from any country is from 2023 as is being claimed.

Australia shits me at the moment, say I get sick and need a few days off work due to the cold or whatever. I call the Dr they say we have an appointment next week. Come next week I’m healthy and over my illness because I just needed bed rest and time to recover.

I can’t get a Drs certificate or take an extra day off to go see the Dr and say I was sick can I have a cert for Wednesday Thursday last week please.

Well that’s a straight up lie. You can go to the waiting list data for elective surgeries in each state and territory and see that it’s closer to 365 day waiting period on average.

Well thats interesting. So we could look at how Switzerland and Germany do things to improve.

Although we should remember in such a complex system nothing is ever as simple as ‘change un peu, et voila!’

They should also include Canada in that list
