So just out of curiosity, at whose feet would you lay the blame for what youâre saying is a âlack of US federal actionâ.You are absolutely right. This is what we should have done. The models to watch are really Singapore, Iceland, and South Korea.
Because Singapore acted fast, used rapid and aggressive testing, contact tracing, and quarantine they have kept their case rate down without closing schools or shutting down businesses (while the article says bars were not shut down that has now changed with non-work/school gatherings over 10 people banned). The South Korea story is similar. Singapore is so far ahead of the curve that they just sent 40,000 test kits to the Philippines. Sorry, it's too late for us to institute the Singapore model across the US. That requires early action for prevention. We screwed that pooch weeks ago. Lack of US Federal actions eliminated the ability to use prevention and containment. Now all we have to use nationally is the last step, mitigation. If we lock down interstate transportation, we could institute the Singapore model in low population, low incident parts of the US but we lack the numbers of trained medical personnel to do that.
