    Jeet Heer Retweeted McKay Coppins

    Early on I touted the merits of South Korea's testing-tracing-isolation model. I still think it's the way forward but I underestimated how hard it would be for western governments to build up capacity.https://twitter.com/mckaycoppins/status/1261379754214649856 …

    A question I would like to see more politicians/journalists/Twitter pundits/people in general answer: What have you been most wrong about when it comes to the coronavirus? (Bonus points for things you’ve been *publicly* wrong about—things you’ve written, tweeted, etc.)

        It’s not just capacity, it’s that you have to get cases to an extremely low level before it’s effective as an eradication method and outbreaks in many countries were too big to suppress easily to that level

        I dunno man, it blew up in South Korea pretty big and they still got there. Slow and painful but it's paying off now

        It’s making me nuts that POTUS keeps saying he will put out “flare ups” very quickly, and no reporter asks him how. Testing/tracing/isolation. Make him say it.

        The Census bureau had been hiring in the run up, could’ve easily put them on the trail.

        It's harder the bigger the outbreak gets. Wouldn't have been that difficult in mid Feb. Now, it will require a small army. (Still chump change compared to even just the economic costs of not doing it. We're currently throwing around $Ts, what's another 200 or 300 B
