        Paul. What’s your gut on the US’s ability to react to this information?

        Jacob Janssen Retweeted Yaneer Bar-Yam

        Hi Paul, do you agree it's also possible to end this virus? China did it, South-Korea did. Taking an area-by-area approach and preventing travel between infected and clean areas - we can beat this. See also https://twitter.com/yaneerbaryam/status/1239205001295257600 … or https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/03/05/science.aba9757/tab-pdf …

        Yaneer Bar-Yam @yaneerbaryam
        Just as international travel restrictions help a country control its outbreak, internal boundaries and travel restrictions enable keeping regions of a country infection free, while focusing on eradication in the infected zones. https://twitter.com/yaneerbaryam/status/1238792787811762181 …

        I seriously feel like there is ideological reticence in the West, to copy the best practices of China or, sacrilege, request its assistance. I hope I am wrong about this. But that would be extremely sad.

        Real capitalist Americans shouldn't wait for their government to save them. They should build the new infrastructure they require privately. We cannot compare our response to the virus to socialist countries necessarily. We should build the solution ourselves.

        Where "ourselves" includes all the Republican billionaires with their own medical staff?

        Why is there a pay wall behind this news... Sadly, I had to leave without reading the article. In times like this when there are plenty of fake news, information from a reputable news outlet should be free.
