2020-03-15Post by Norwegian University of Science and Technology calling for students to come home.
As countries around the world began to institute travel bans, many universities began to urge their students studying abroad to come home. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology posted that "this applies especially if you are staying in a country with poorly developed health services and infrastructure and/or collective infrastructure, for example the USA." The coronavirus pandemic has made all the more stark just how poor, how less than ideal, the health insurance system in the United States - and numerous other aspects of our infrastructure and structural systems - are. Though the Norwegian university later changed their post, their initial honesty about how many in Europe and elsewhere see the United States helped call this into stark relief.
