as an American I fucking hate that. What they did worked to stop the pandemic. It saved many lives. -- nm - loosilu Mar 22, 19:58 3
- How about South Korea in comparison? Seems they succeeded in flattening the curve? - Cuzzin Todd Mar 22, 20:11 2
  - Jack is correct. Everything we did not do. Also look at Germany. Their death rate is 1/10 everyone else. Same rate of infection but superior treatment. -- nm* - loosilu Mar 22, 20:16
  - My understanding is that they did aggressive testing tracing and locking up -- nm - JackDawson Mar 22, 20:12
I’m not loosi but I’d say yes. If we know who’s infected and can isolate them and their contacts as Korea and Singapur that should bring it to manageb - JackDawson Mar 22, 19:55 6
- And It's more an Authoritarian Chinese Government. Can dictate the terms of its citizenry. USA, a Democracy, States don't all row in the same direction -- nm* - budice Mar 22, 20:00 2
  - Mango abdicated all responsibility and now it is patchwork fuckup. We have no leader. At USCG there is no governor but the career military are doing -- (edited) - loosilu Mar 22, 20:15 1
    - when you interview the infected vector, you grab their phone, look at their gps history and get a good idea of their movements, locations -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 23, 00:34
- yes! they did extensive testing, they traced contacts, they isolated. Three things the us has done fuck all. -- nm - loosilu Mar 22, 19:59 2
  - They’re even doing it here in the USA we just gave up -- nm - JackDawson Mar 22, 20:00 1
    - In the USA they never started. At all. It never occurred to anyone in the administration to do that. It's that bad. -- nm* - loosilu Mar 22, 20:01
