I think this is a consequence of “make your product for the customer”. I think it should’ve been obvious that Americans weren’t Koreans or Kiwis in attitude, numbers, or behavior, and so the solutions requiring that level of cooperation and attention should’ve never left the drawing board. As we’ve seen and as should’ve been obvious: Americans are resistant to authority for one. Solution that get too overbearing too quickly can work, but they have to keep that in mind when considered. At the public health level I hope the architects of these policies at least recognized that fact, even if the whirlwind of spins and politicization in the public made it seem like everything was failing spectacularly.
