Taiwan had figured out in late December that there was human-to-human transmission. How else did the doctors get sick? China stopped this info from coming out. Three weeks lost.

I'm more sympathetic to the real-time problems of diagnosing situation. The three weeks were not "lost", since during those three weeks, genome was sequence and virus classified. Even if three weeks were lost and their fault, subsequent eight weeks on us.

here's an article that is critical of CDC responsehttps://apnews.com/c335958b1f8f6a37b19b421bc7759722?fbclid=IwAR0tagn6PM6vFK-OWLIJarLWcigckB8JJEwGuY2xQ1icv-r6ApGrZ6ykMAE …

Critical and misleading. Fails to note: * rapid, coordinated US response * slow testing ramp was due to overregulation. The *only* thing required for massive ramp was removing regs. * "tens of thousands" is FALSE. 1.5m released, 2m weekly now, ramping to 5m/wk.

I think that article (like all of US media) over-focused on Trump, as tho he had been director of CDC for years. On those points, they seem wrong to me. Their criticism of US testing problems seems plausible and of over- and counterproductive regulation.

4/* It is regs that have ground creative supply to a halt. (Turns out the ONLY difference between medical and industrial N95 is... labeling, and liability insurance. Kill those regs and the supply increases 10x)

permitting industrial N95 hasn't solved problem in itself. Even industrial N95 masks are totally unavailable. I understand mistakes when you're making decisions in real time and don't know that much, but pandemic preparedness experts ought to have warned about N95 availability.

WHY unavailable. Someone needs to figure that out. They certainly exist.
