        Many lessons here. Most notable to me: 1. PARTIAL SOLUTIONS DON'T WORK. Italy locked down only high risk areas ("red zones"), but it only facilitated spread as people fled lockdown areas. "Italy followed the spread rather than prevented it." Exactly what the US is doing.

        2. DEPLOY THE FULL PLAYBOOK. Lombardy (10M) and Veneto (5M) both closed shops and did social distancing. Veneto added testing, active contact tracing, good controls to protect health care & other essential workers, and home care for most cases. Lombardy had 5K deaths; Veneto 287.

        3. ACCURATE, TIMELY DATA IS ESSENTIAL. Decision-makers have been hindered by lack of standardized data on the trajectory of spread, hospitalizations, deaths at local and regional levels.

        The pandemic in Italy and overall also exposed the 'social distance' between scientists and policymakers who facilitate implementation. One learning has to be how to fast track science into policy.

        US 🙈🙉🙊-> “repeating many of the errors made early on in Italy, where the pandemic has turned into a disaster”. Bad decisions place medical centers across Nation in maximum risk for mayhem. #CDC / #NIH / Trump admin to blame. They were warned, informed on best practices.

        Let me remind you of one of GE’s essential 4’s: ‘Take the best ideas regardless of their source’. Even the Lift Operator or the Security Person may come-up with a never-before thought of idea. Of course, it’s a choice only you can make. Good Luck.

        #India is doing pretty good in this direction. Glad that when the States were locking down on their own @PMOIndia stepped in to enforce a national lockdown beginning 25th March 2020.

        However, with no warning to the population, no plans for distribution of essentials to that locked down population, no comprehensive or standardization instructions to law enforcement, leaves millions without resources, commuters with no place to live, and supply chains broken.
