Maybe in 2021, organizations should legally be required to to prove they can build and/or run a public health-related site themselves before they’re allowed to do it? And decision makers should be required to pass a basic knowledge test?

Yesterday, the German state I live in (NRW) launched its website for vaccination registration. Predictably, it broke down. After all, there’s no way for a poor country like Germany to create a website that can handle 700 requests/second. That’s black magic

I like the idea of the knowledge tests, although not really realistic, I guess 90% of our current decision makers in public service would fail that test. Profound knowledge is not a hiring or promotion criteria for those positions.

The problem with most is ... The cheapest provider gets picked. Think that has a price as well
