Why didn't we use the South Korean approach?

Why didn't we contact trace from day 1? Use the power and ingenuity of Silicon Valley from the outset and we would not be in this predicament. Why haven't we implemented coordinated national contact tracing yet? The technology already exists.

It would have been wrapped around the axle by day 3 in NYC.

SK has one major city with two international airports.

We didn’t have the volume of tests per person as SK

MS has been doing contact tracing since the start

They respected it and we didn't for far too long...They have a central administration running the show...it was never a political football there...the have much lower privacy exceptions so they could trace people with apps...they had an infrastructure and plan in place for pandemics in place; they executed the playbook.

Because it turns out, shite tons of people have been infected long before we even knew it..

I'm just spitballing here but maybe it's because the United States is not South Korea.

A) more cynical answer: Because they want to cull the population
B) slightly less cynical answer- we’re ruled by venal arseclowns incapable of putting together a first world response

Because the president’s administration totally dropped the ball in January & February

You ever tried driving on Highway 1? Try compressing 12 lanes into 3 for a tollbooth and see what that does to traffic.

The CDC massively overpromised and massively underdelivered.
In Jan & Feb the CDC said they had tests completely in hand.
The CDC said it would produce the most and the best tests in the world.
Fauci, the NIH, Johns Hopkins, and every US pandemic "expert" told Trump the CDC was the world's premier agent in dealing with a pandemic. They told him to trust the CDC.
Are you intimating Trump should have ignored every US pandemic "expert", shut out the CDC, shut out US labs the CDC (inappropriately) called to question, and instead relied on internationally manufactured CV19 tests?

I thought it was about flattening the curve so we don’t overwhelm our hospitals. Seems to me we have been successful at that. Plenty of hospital capacity

Because:
1) many states have a healthcare system that's just slightly better than a West African nation
2) too many Americans are processed food eating fatties
3) a large chunk of the population has no health insurance and a 100 bucks to their name
Slightly different.

Oh, I don’t know, maybe because of this:

350 million people, 50 semi-indepdent states spread out over an entire continent, 5,000 miles of borders, many "diversity" areas, ya why didn't we just do what South Korea did!
Posted on 4/25/20 at 5:46 am to madhatterman
We have 50 states, they have one.
It's a little like herding cats over here.
But that is by design, and that's OK. We are more interested in mitigating the risk of tyrants than pandemics. It's just different cultures.

Tough to contact trace when it’s been in the US since November...just weren’t testing for it
