Extending the simile to the Patriot Act and (at a minimum) Iraq War also shows that a big problem doesn’t mean every solution is the right one
Saying today that we shouldn't be worried about the coronavirus outbreak because the flu kills many more people every year is like saying on 9/11/2001 after one plane hit that we shouldn't be worried about terrorism because more people die from airplane mechanical failure.

Clever counterpoint! However, the Patriot Act and Iraq War equivalent for the coronavirus would be permanent government access to all US citizens' medical records and bombing Mongolia because it's next door to China.

The bigger concern is other countries cannot implement what China could. While the health care system and less density could help them... Honestly don't know what NYC government would do.. Maybe just watch it....
