I don’t see how policies that are barely adequate to the task can result in an excellent outcome. I wouldn’t call them that way at least, I would call them appropriate policies.
if you maintain zero spread and crack down hard and early (on single-digit cases), the other details really don’t matter so much.
Yes, I agree too, but I would rephrase it: they got right the most important thing that they had to get right, and that’s what counts
I don’t see how policies that are barely adequate...can result in an excellent outcome
Because spread is exponential? “barely adequate” sounds slightly exaggerated to me, but if a country acts early and quickly, quarantining every case, they can mess up in other ways (so that R0 is well above 1) but still not have any Covid cases. I figured this was how Covid was controlled in Australia, NZ and SK (I still don’t get what happened in Japan tho).
