Politicians are all pretty good at patting themselves on the back for that one thing... while ignoring all of the "doing the many wrong things that got us to this point of extrmis"... I don't think that's different anywhere... China's leaders did listen, once it became clear it was essential they must... but, like pulling teeth before that. Shifting gears from mass assembly line treatment... the hospital construction project... to isolation in place INSTEAD of going to the hospital... and to implementing basic decontamination routines where sanitation was insufficient before... is what made the difference. That's what they should be commended for... is correcting course when it was shown to them that the path they were on... was only making things worse. But "I was screwing it up horribly and then quit doing that"... doesn't really resonate with the voters ? Hard, still, to get people to understand that treatment really doesn't matter at all... in terms of prevention. Caring for people only amplifies the risks in spreading the disease... and accelerates it... which doesn't mean we shouldn't care for them, of course... only means that time and effort spent on developing better treatments is more about drug company profits than it is about improving public health. The best care... is that which prevents the need for care... and how much effort do you see being spent on anything other than "another silver bullet solution" in a drug you can sell ? Glad to see Clorox stock doing well... as that's probably the best tool we have in prevention, still...
