The political problem with this crisis is that people read into it what they want, rather then looking at things less politically motivated. Im reminded of a lot of online leftists saying that m4all would have prevented this when single payer systems in EU were just as fucked.

I mean M4A is strong enough to argue for on its own merits, but even when I agree with the ideals it feels cynical for people to insist the true solution to [topical crisis] is [thing I already wanted]. Which is why I think covid 19 could have been stopped if we embraced bitcoin

I mean, I might question who is the best? NZ seems to have done even better; but SK was a bit more comparable to the US in terms of first infection date, pop density & failure to catch it early. SK seems more the model for what to do if you’re too late to be NZ.

Also NZ's lockdown was extreme.

The whole social distancing thing is our response to the fact that we didn't have masks, testing, and quarantine in place before community spread really got going in america. But now that we've gone all of April without actually getting those things working so what do we do now?

I have no idea.

Yeah it turns out socialism is just good for its other benefits and isn't necessarily the answer to every question.
