      Part of my column is a response to the Q of whether conservatives who supported stay-at-home orders should feel like "suckers" now that blue-state politicians are blessing mass protest, or apologize (per @herandrews) for supporting public health restrictions. My answer is no:pic.twitter.com/suTcwkm05z

      The public health response succeeded in its primary objective - slower spread, no hospital meltdown, get to warmer months and closer to vaccine. It failed in its secondary objective - buy time for a suppression strategy -because America can't execute.

      Alas it's looking like Canada and the UK can't execute either, although New Zealand can.

          Not entirely disagreeing with you, but this might not be the best argument to bring up to a Tweet that directly mentioned the UK (which includes one island and part of another).
