In looking at South Korea, they practiced test and trace. That seemed to work there. We tried it here. It was too unwieldy. The branches are like the largest fungus...they spread out and back and all over the place until you need an army. I suspect that we socialize with strangers more than the South Koreans did.

Control seems to work as well. The other three seem to be able to do that well.

For someone who has never really been in the workforce in America what do you know about competence? How is it America’s fault the Russians are running wild in Rome? Besides it was a Brit soldier singer who in his claim to have prevented WWIII allowed the Russians into the airport at Kosovo. Europeans have been either throwing in the towel, trying to re-join the human race or generally getting in the way for centuries. #maga and thank God Hillary didn’t get in. Admit it you’d vote for Biden or Bernie. I mean you’re a fat cat really in your fancy Paris apartment. I bet you can’t change a tire or make your own vodka. Love you anyway. Keep up the good work.

I must say, I think you’re over-stating the risk of Trump accidentally killing a ton of Americans and a naked power grab *both* happening. I don’t see it as particularly likely, given the fact that he would certainly be inhibited enough by Congress and by the fact that if a ton of Americans die he will lose reelection.
