Over the weekend, a Norwegian university called out the United States healthcare system in a message that was intended for their students who had traveled abroad. In a message strongly recommending those students come home due to the coronavirus' global spread, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology wrote: "NTNU strongly recommends that all NTNU students who are outside Norway return home. 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 university reportedly backtracked by editing the same message on its Facebook page to simply say "This applies especially if you are staying in a country with poorly developed health services and infrastructure and/or collective infrastructure."
The original message is still on its website. You can click here if you have trust issues.
Some people found this hilarious or deep or...I don't know. Without sports to fill Twitter trends this is what you get:
Today was supposed to be Selection Sunday.
