      The prize for anyone who solves this mystery is that city life gets to continue at Tokyo and Osaka levels, rather than New York City levels, without making a Sweden (or America!)-like tradeoff where we just accept a high steady level of new fatalities. It's a puzzle worth solving

      The current level of public discourse, where it is taken as axiomatic that any country that has kept the body count low must have better policies in place than countries struggling with large outbreaks, is unsatisfying. A particularly egregious example:https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/10/world/europe/coronavirus-europe-resilience.html …

      I watched a loved one get cancer because Romanian doctors couldn't conduct a simple Pap smear (despite claiming it was invented there). The examining room they put her in had a pyramid of cabbages in it. I don't buy for a minute that Eastern Europe is now an oasis of competence

      Unfortunately, the idea that the former communist world and developing countries can outperform America and western Europe in public health fits a certain ideological predisposition. We want the virus to dunk on the US health care system! So too few people are asking questions

      If we don't pay attention to the baffling geographical discrepancies in the impact of this disease, then we will simply be ceding this ground to whatever "covid truthers" eventually emerge as a cohesive political force, and it will be infinitely harder to talk about this sanely

      For the time being, you can still say "the central dogma of how major outbreaks happen and are contained doesn't seem to fit the facts" and not be declaring your political allegiance to something. But that window is closing. Already I'm getting called a right-winger! (Hail hydra)

      I think a lot of qualified epidemiologists *are* trying to find the answer to this question. The people you’re shouting at on Twitter aren’t among them. The only thing you’re going to accomplish by shouting here is to encourage an uninformed political debate.

      I'm not shouting at anyone. And there's lots of great epidemiologists on Twitter—more every day.pic.twitter.com/r0mCeDDkyD

      But my serious question is: what’s the purpose of your exhortation? Is the goal to inspire people to solve the mystery? To be aware that there is a mystery so that they temper their expectations? To convince people that they need a career change? To argue against lockdowns?

      It’s totally fine to just ask a question. But your tweets seem to convey urgency.

      Just on a psychological level, I have an elderly mom and I am really worried about her getting sick. If there is some factor moderating this pandemic, that is wonderful news and we should be pursuing it vigorously. This is my one available venue to say that, so I say it.

          I think there is an element of groupthink in the way American journalists have covered the story, and sometimes you can break through groupthink by appealing to a different instinct of this herd animal—the hunger for alternative takes.

          There’s a lot of hunger for “virus isn’t so dangerous, look at country X” takes over here in the US. Trust me. The problem is that those takes don’t result in good health science. They result in dudes with AK47s demanding to go out to bars.

          This stance and concerns seems so contradictory to your messaging so far. Just as an uninformed reader.
