Of course you are correct, but the article is also a “so far” assessment. We’re right now in the middle of the response. Every assessment, right now, is at a point in time. And so, to a degree, premature. We can only look at the information

Every good idea should have been done before it was done. Better late than never. At least testing has ramped up in the US considerably now. As someone in the US, I wish we would implement a lot more in the way of domestic travel restrictio

You’re presenting it as if it’s a binary choice. It’s not strictly binary, and creating a “one or the other“ straw man to pretend it is binary so that you can grandstand is counterproductive. Further, there’s absolutely nothing in his comme
