Paul Romer added,
The consensus of the public health and epidemiology community has opposed quarantine, travel limits, etc for decades. see https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/10/03/why-quarantines-wont-stop-ebola-from-spreading-in-the-u-s/ … They're nuts.

Just to note, David has revised his opinions somewhat in a Less Wrong post
As proud as I am of changing my mind in response to new evidence, I don't think you can call this changing my mind: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/B7sHnk8P8EXmpfyCZ/a-personal-interim-covid-19-postmortem?commentId=hYeu77JCsF3MFBBiZ … "...countries might have avoided infections - might, but I'm skeptical."
Hopefully, you've learned to never trust fake Western "experts" ever again, updated your priors on the utility of Western-style "democracy", and understand the legitimacy of the expertise of China, Thailand, Uruguay, Cuba, Vietnam, Uganda, and Greece.
Nah, Cuba did the impossible with HIV and isolated the carriers and so avoided having a mass outbreak. This is impossible therefore it didn't happen.
