      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.

      Not necessarily - Germany, France, Italy have not tested as extensively as we have.

      In terms of Covid deaths per capita, we're far, far worse off than them, regardless of testing. Just talking about deaths.

      And remember, all data from China is unfettered, right? Seriously do we think we have received accurate counts from China, the origin?

      Well, there were those very brief news stories about urns being delivered on pallets to crematoriums, thousands per day. That circle of news was snuffed out in a hurry. But now there's reporting of covid 20, which is probably the same, but making up for the deaths they miscounted

      No one knows why some countries have better outcomes. It’s politics to assume we do.

      What about testing? That seems to be universally accepted among doctors, scientists, and even most politicians, that better testing is essential to containing the virus.

      In terms of analysis, it seems that we should be analyzing those countries that had outbreaks and then managed to contain the virus, such as Italy and South Korea. They still face challenges, but saying "no one knows" is somewhat reductive. We can learn from them.

      We can't, is my point. It's an illusion. Too many variables, nothing is truly comparable. Data is iffy. Different cultural norms. Different sizes. Different travel destinations. Different states situation. Different start times. Different options available. Lots more.

          So we shouldn't bother to analyze why one country has less deaths than another? That's what Health Organizations do, that's their whole purpose.

          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.

          There is fascinating new research into using modern technological tools to analyze data (including error correction), comparing to past epidemics, and such. Thanks for the heads up, some of this is quite, quite fascinating.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1717-y …

          "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."
