Hm... As a European on vacation in France right now, I wholeheartedly disagree. Argh... the tide goes up. Gotta hurry to move the towel. Would you excuse me?
What I mean is COVID-19 is affecting all countries. It’s not only US. The title of the article is confusing. And I think it is temporary, hopefully we will get out of this black hole soon.
A hot take, and one that's decidedly untrue. Most of the world that's implemented the necessary controls for this pandemic has been able to slowly and effectively reopen (albeit in phases and in a process that's very much still ongoing).
Sure, in some sense. Any country which hasn't controlled it has by definition not implemented the necessary controls. But the converse is surely untrue. As noted in the article, Liberia reports that it's largely controlled the virus - the idea that this is due to their generally superior public health regime is absurd, given that they have an uncontrolled tuberculosis epidemic.
