In Japan "The nail that sticks up gets pounded down." Ever observe Japanese tourists following their guides at tourist destinations anywhere in Europe and elsewhere?
An American young man I know teaches physics at a high end South Korean high school. Early in the Pandemic when he, his wife and baby returned there from a stateside visit they had to endure a highly secure 14 day quarantine. They don't mess around over there.[/QUOTE]
We have been "messing around" with a dangerous enemy. And still have NOT learned from other countries that have MUCH better solutions to CV. I would trade 2 weeks of being quarantined that S. Korea mandated for the FREEDOM of being free of CV and leading normal lives. Small price to pay. The US has suffered from dueling misinformation vs Science. S. Korea and other, successful against CV, countries have a society that values Science and spoke with ONE VOICE to its citizens. That is how to defeat CV. The US has (or had)the top economy in the world. It has the most top scientists and medical experts. Yet this knowledge and strength did NOT get transferred DOWN to ordinary people. There is no unified effort to fight this enemy. Just compare that to the effort to win WWII. WE have lost the fight against CV and History will remember this GREAT loss!!!!!!
