Dr. Bright said what was obvious to everyone. Those countries with a plan of testing and contact tracing at the beginning of the pandemic, have deaths in the hundreds. We didn't follow this science and we have the most deaths of any country. What I learned that I didn't know was scientists had been advocating the practise from the beginning but the executives of the CDC and White House blew th advise off. That's not acceptable. W.H.O has long published and established advice on the test-contract trace-isolate approach to stop a virus. The Obama Administration had a set of pandemic handling papers that contained it also. Of course Trump decimated the pandemic control group in the White House that was set up by Obama. This is one of the great cases of death of citizens by Government arrogance, ignorance, and self-serving. Trump may well get re-elected but he will forever live as a major cause of death in America. Probably right beside the covid-19 disease itself.
It was telling, to me, that Gov. Cuomo, in one of the earlier addresses to the people of NY and the country said the process of testing-contact tracing-isolation was totally new to him. This is not to cast an aspersion on Gov. Cuomo, but on the scientists and Trump administration, that the process had failed to be communicated to the public to the point a Governor of a Major State had not heard of it. It appears that all of Asia knew the process, and followed the process. 83,000 deaths in U.S. and counting. Almost inconceivable.
