Good morning in sad, jealous tweets. All schools in Taiwan have been open since February. They did not listen to China or WHO in January and immediately masked up and shut down travel. They also traced the hell out of their outbreaks. They were practically done by February.

The idea that this was somehow a mutantninjasuper virus against which we are powerless is nonsense. But yes, this is like a fire: the more area it consumes, the harder it is to put it out. Yes, it is not as big a priority as schools, but restaurants in Taiwan are open, too.

They aren't letting that happen. Restricted travel. Also *for real* fourteen day quarantine even with a negative COVID test to those allowed to enter. No country that has succeeded is likely to let failures of countries like ours ruin their own success.https://twitter.com/AlanFeldstein/status/1278310456214671361 …

Here's the truth for the US. Universal masking with targeted closures will help but the outbreak is huge now. Maybe we get *really* lucky with this virus. (T-cell cross-reactivity? An antiviral combo?) I hope so but can't count on it. Otherwise, it's another year of where we are.

Hope is not a plan, and 8 months is just three months short of summer 2021.
