Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only country that overcame a large outbreak is China. The rest have achieved success by stopping the outbreak before it ever got started which is a lot fuckn harder to accomplish in a country like ours.
It really isn't, you just need to replicate what they do at their international airports at ours and have regional contract tracing and quarantine. It's obviously too late now but to completely stamp it out but there's still a lot that could be adapted.
Yeah I don't understand the thinking that people shouldn't expect the richest most powerful country in the world to be up to the task of controlling an outbreak better than we are doing. Guys America is great again now, expect better !
China whipped it, Phil! Let’s start locking down cities, post troops on every street corner and pulling infected people out of their apartments and tossing them into the fires.
Why can’t we just be an island nation 1/12th the size or a country 1/6th the size with a militarized uniborder that’s lockdown by mines, machine guns, artillery, mortars and booby traps with a couple of actual International airports and 1 maybe 2 international ports.
Or better yet, a nearly homogeneous collective of native born like thinkers with a history of rallying around a singular political cause (never mind the torches, arm bands and polished boots).
