Ah I see, take your point in terms of preparedness. In terms of our actual response, we ignored the lessons from SARS 1, right? Namely the high likelyhood of aerosol and non-trivial levels of disability among "recovered" patients.

When it came to SARS-2 the evidence from previous outbreaks was basically ignored, rather than "relied upon" at all as it states in the Conclusion!

I agree that form Trump-world a diagnosis is contradictory, however even in the good-faith world of enterprising humans one will find well-founded discontent with not only a minority of antisocial individuals, but also some of the institutions that produce very poor outcomes/failure (e.g. NHS IPC).

Is the diagnosis totally wrong? The institutions of science and medicine in the USA (and in the UK) are far from perfect. There are dogmas, politics, power, groupthink, bullying and the rest.

In any case I'm sceptical the Trump solution will improve things.
