[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are being sarcastic because I don’t quite understand why you cast it in a seemingly nonsensical terms. The national mask mandate started in mid-April, by which time tons of infectious chains had been seeded. People were told to wear homemade masks. But as the pandemic went on they stepped up their PPE manufacturing and mask compliance rose to 90%+ nationwide by September, which is when their surge was cut short.

There are policies and then there is timing, compliance, and a host of other factors that mitigate their impact. Just read about the details of these countries, everything is online now. Oh wait — I forgot the MSM conspiracy that somehow all newspapers around the world simultaneously propagated right?  :roll:

I absolutely agree that the US acted too late. Masks are not the main reason we failed so badly.

“Basically, going back to January, they’d be like, ‘China’s not going to control it; 80 percent of the population is going to get it; all efforts to contain it are going to fail; we have to learn to live with this virus; contact tracing and testing make no sense; this is going to be everywhere; right now we need to build up hospitals’ — which they didn’t even do. But they really didn’t think it was stoppable,” she says. “And then all of a sudden you started to see, in February, South Korea stopping it, Taiwan stopping it, and China stopping it. Then, in March, New Zealand. And then Australia. And then there’s this realization of, ‘Oh, wow. Actually, it is controllable.”

Yup, pretty much. We just had idiots in charge and people willing to follow. National embarrassment.[/quote]
