Well, at some point a few weeks ago we had 2,000 cases. What did we do about it then? We did nothing. How do you handle it to stop it from simply going exponential *again*? Well you have a model: do what Taiwan and Singapore did. Sounds great, right? 2/x

So what did SG / Taiwan do? Oh. Uh, that sounds like it might be beyond the US's ability, doesn't it? 3/x https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2762689?guestAccessKey=2a3c6994-9e10-4a0b-9f32-cc2fb55b61a5&utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_content=tfl&utm_term=030320 …pic.twitter.com/2WlXel2PZV

USG of course has an entire structure set up to gather this information on its citizens but of course, the parts that collect it don't trust the other parts of USG. NSA would have to share this data with CDC or CDC would have to build this data collection from scratch. 4/x

How long would it take USG to set up this type of data collection? Once CDC has this data does it use it to stop the spread of disease or does it use it for every progressive pet project under the sun? Which one of those choices gets the person who makes it promoted? 5/x

Look over this very helpful page on CDC's website that describes how they've treated violence as a public health problem: https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/publichealthissue/timeline.html … Oh. 6/xpic.twitter.com/DXe8hW4M9s

USG is fundamentally broken. It prioritizes progressive holiness over everything - including basic of state functions. If it does try - it screws up because it can't find competent low level staff because it scrapped the civil service exam. 7/x https://www.opm.gov/FAQs/QA.aspx?fid=de14aff4-4f77-4e17-afaa-fa109430fc7b&pid=f17f1aa4-925f-4a6a-81f4-1135de31fff8 …pic.twitter.com/KnxsqQ4HDg

USG can't take simple, effective action. I can't see how it can continue in its current form - it's simply not functional. 8/8
