    People are pointing to Germany as a possible exception. And Germany, of course, could help the rest of Europe. We'll see.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1254498598919606272 …

    I have to confess I'm becoming more pessimistic since I don't see much signs that most countries outside Asia & the Pacific are developing the testing-tracing-isolation capabilities needed. Am I wrong about this?

        Between that and the economic side of things being completely fucked up by the US(protecting businesses, sacrificing individuals and states) I don't see this being "over" when it is even over. Sigh.

        the rest of the world and their economies will be humming while the rest of the US is still trying to crawl out of their wreckage.

        Even Merkel has said the goal is to keep R as close to 1 as possible, not try to push it down and eradicate

        In the end I wouldn’t be surprised if all of Europe ends up looking a lot like what Sweden looks like now, give or take a level of testing/isolation

        Perhaps time for a little more Teutonic discipline , and a little less Latin flair? To everything , there is a season...

        As a lapsed anthropologist I think we will find the culture had a lot to do with why some societies responded to this particular crisis better than others

        Germany certainly a huge outlier in terms of case fatality rate / overall deaths - but when it comes to testing and especially tracing we’re definitely facing the same problems: capabilities are nowhere near adequate. Infection rate has also been going up again lately.
