South Korea, France, Italy, Germany, all have FAR fewer cases than we do. How did they do it? By taking the pandemic seriously from the start. We assumed it would be go away and chose not to ramp up testing, contact tracing, etc. It's not the whole solution, but it's a start.

It sounds like you're arguing that no one should trust or analyze anything. Public Health Science is about analyzing data, Johns Hopkins, the NIH, Rockefeller Institute, there are people who do good work . It has worked in the past with AIDS, Smallpox, SARS, and many others.

There is quantifiable evidence that analysis of how virus's affect one country versus another, and the reasons why, can change outcomes. I'm happy to find specific studies and research if you'd like. More than happy to be proven wrong with evidence.

"Many disciplines need to be integrated, including not only epidemiology but also social sciences, research and development, diplomacy, logistics and crisis management. This requires a new approach to training tomorrow’s leaders in epidemic prevention and response."

Hope-Simpson will prevail. This virus is seasonal and the outbreaks and Gompertz curves all over the world back that up.
