Perfect is the enemy of good.

Perfect is the enemy of good.
- oski 7y agoMy point isn’t that taking temperature checks needs to be perfect, but that they are focusing their intervention on symptomatic spreading rather than asymptomatic spreading. They would benefit more with immediate action by giving employees nonmedical fabric masks and making them mandatory TODAY rather than waiting for surgical masks next week.
- dmoy 7y agoGP is agreeing with you. The phrase "perfect is the enemy of good" is a criticism of striving for perfection when you could be doing other good stuff in the meanwhile. That is, perfect (waiting for super accurate tests, etc) is the enemy of good (testing temperatures, wearing basic masks now).
- oski 7y agoOk, thanks for clarifying.
