Only if you don't look at countries where it seems to be working pretty well, mostly in Asia.

- davidw 6y agoYou are lumping in a lot of quite diverse places. China and South Korea took quite different approaches. China's is, as you state, very blunt. South Korea has used contact tracing to good effect. My comment wasn't "all countries in Asia", it was about countries in Asia using contact tracing well.
