- albertgoeswoof 6y agoWithout making excuses it is hard to compare though
- jl6 6y agoThe data is so noisy though. Earlier in the year you could point to Germany as an example of a nation doing it right - but look at them now.

In fact it seems they’re vulnerable and now subject to the same seasonal trends of spread everyone else was largely powerless against. California, Germany, Korea, Japan... We don’t consider whether the reaction has been worse than the virus, but that’s because there’s so much political reputation, ego, and identity staked on having been “level-headed” about all this.
