[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]going back to the topic-  Switzerland has a a near 20% foreign population, a lot of them on local contracts. It is very friendly and if you can land a sfh  (go out of the downtowns) or townhome then you dont have to deal with the strange rules of no flushing/showering after 10pm and such. The hardest adjustment has been the trash disposal.  there is a housing shortage everywhere though- so that problem wont go away.

Austria is not as wealthy but they absolutely will welcome american professionals/professors so that is another good country to look at, cheap, gorgeous high QoL. yes it is true that physicians dont make the mad money outside of the US but coastal physicians dont make as much a their counterparts in the Midwest and plains states.  I know quite a few american and british families that have gotten citizenship in Dach and EU countries- it takes a long time, 10 years and you must have employment the entire time and cannot make anyone angry so that they object to your citizenship but its doable.

Germany is depressing but all of these countries would absolutely welcome amercian professionals, if you have the grit to immigrate to a different country- i would not stay in the US- this is not a temporary thing. [b]look at all the support this has from the comments, people want university funding, NIH etc to go away b/c they are so angry about COVID.[/b]  We are ex pats and keeping our house for now in the US but my kids are  thinking of staying for uni and dont really have much desire to move back to the US at all.  There are also a LOT of brits in europe b/c of brexit so more resources for english speaking families to adjust.  It is more traditional from a gender point of view though- a lot of sahm and sah girl friends.  switzerland is way more traditional and very sheltered though from  crime and problems b/c the immigrant population is very high value- educated professionals or businesspeople or refugees with money/resources/high level education and job opportunities.

You don't sound very smart if you think that frustration with Covid era and calls to look into it have anything to do with cutting funding.  In fact, it's a call to do all sort of research to evolve our understanding of virology, epidemiology and diagnosis of infectious disease, all the subjects that had been taboo to question and where funds had been directed into pushing same old same old.  Failure of Covid era means more research, evolving our understanding and not just focusing on pushing and enhancing the same idea developed decades ago in order to sell medical intervention to healthy people and force them to participate in trials of emerging tech.
