> The next such fallacy is that of testing and contact tracing That is an odd opinion. Australian and NZ and some other relatively successful countries are well past flattening the curve and have both new cases and active cases rapidly heading towards zero and have only had a small number of deaths. Most retail is open here. Most schools are open. Lots of job losses in hospitality and tourism with bars and restaurants closed and borders shut. Testing is freely available to anyone with any cold-like symptom at all and I expect that testing will be extended to people with no symptoms at all, probably in teaching, law enforcement and healthcare so we have a sort of early warning system. We seem to have a reasonable path back to being a productive society while other countries still seem a mess and are only managing to keep their death rates down through massive restrictions. I struggle to understand what the rest of the world is going on about sometimes. Experts have been saying how to deal with a problem like this for a long time. But nobody much seems to have taken them seriously.
