    Jeet Heer Retweeted Aaron Rupar

    There have been a few jabs against South Korea by Trump administration. I think this goes beyond ignorance and is rooted in an awareness that Korean model is out of reach (and Italian trajectory far more likely).https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1245722608357773314 …

        It's a dumb way of putting it, but US privacy laws won't allow a test and trace system like South Korea's.

        Italian trajectory will likely also be out of reach shortly.

        If we stick to Italy's trajectory, that'd be a victory at this point. We're on pace to do worse than they're doing. As for South Korea, the Trump administration realizes that the Korean government's competent, decisive action makes them look bad, so no surprise they attack it.

        It's not a question of whether a country is free, but of whether it has a robust public health infrastructure that steps in to take control during epidemic. That's it. The mess in China was caused by political interference. The US mess was also caused by political interference.

        You see how he send them out there to spread misinformation & manipulate their followers’ mind? She knows what she is saying is BS, but those followers absorbs it & take it as truth. Clearly, the truth is accessible, but who has time to research, especially if Fox say it is so.

        The Korean model is out of reach because east Asian societies have a strong sense of community.

        The US isn't a "free country"; it's a BigGovt #CronyCapitalist country. Neither are South Korea or Japan "free." They just run better than the US in some ways.
