Yeah exactly. I think it’s interesting to compare and contrast the two countries that have done best with this: China and New Zealand. China is high control and high trust (mostly) and well controlled border , New Zealand is like mid to low control but very high trust, and it has a perfectly defined and controlled border.
US is (broadly) low control, low trust, net importer with large land borders and neighboring countries by sea, so it’s a much harder problem even if you had consistent messaging and planning from the top.
- verdverm 6y agoDo you trust the data from China?
- vessenes 6y agomy business partners in china report day to day life is basically mask free, and when there is a reported outbreak there is massive testing and contact tracing. Youtubers in china show that same story in street footage; so on balance yes, I think it’s generally accurate.
