Totally agree. See my recent posts on this kind of sentiment. I was surprised that those post didn’t get any traction. It told me that in a way people don’t care or are mired by such losses busy lives that they can’t have a discourse when it’s needed the most. Anyways yes the countries that were able to contain this may be autocracies but their people will live. We can’t do this because a we are a democracy is just a flawed argument and one that allows status who to prevail when change is needed. As for the govt futzing around in the us and Giving itself 10 out of 10, somebody on one of my posts said it best - “drain the swamp my a$$, let it burn”. In a way a lazy citizenry deserves the govt it gets. Also all the countries - Taiwan, Singapore , China etc whole dealt with this effectively - this was not their first rodeo. They had the foresight due to experience of sars and swine flu etc. the west only has experimented with military type attacks..
