Well fwiw I took the essay as mainly saying “we have to stop fooling around and actually do stuff.” I don’t think it matters much what systemic framework is put around that. What’s missing is the will, the choice.

The big concern I have with that is people thinking what we need are more contact-tracing apps, or preparedness apps, or apps. We have a systemic failure of government at many levels coupled with extraordinary efforts to keep control (gerrymandering, etc) and a loss of empathy.

I think there are plenty of people with the will but not the opportunity. But I suppose there's no way to know.
