US, France, Italy, Spain, UK, Canada, etc have all had issues getting mass testing going


Compare this to japan, Singapore, and South Korea. Extremely efficient, same day testing results you get over your phone

Are Asian nations simply less bureaucratic?

Did these nations build up an appropriate infrastructure after SARS outbreak?

This is what happens in racially homogeneous states less than a 10th the size of the U.S..


Not only that, but the international traffic through the U.S. likely far exceeds the travel through Asia.


It's not an apples to apples comparison.

I mean Asians are the smartest in world (East Asians that is) and are extremely efficient with resources. Other qualities of Asian culture would suck to live in but those two are pretty undeniable.

Nah, there were several posters claiming that Asians were just predisposed to having a higher infection and mortality rate for this

I could buy an international travel argument, but what in the world does a racially homogenous population have to do with anything?

It's called saving face. Most Asians are obedient lemmings. That can't function without a Big Brother telling them what to do.

Asian cultures took this very seriously from the beginning. Western ones focused on economics and downplaying the threat.

More culturally aligned, which includes obedience and submission in the face of authority. Behaviorally, its easier to control.

Also much higher levels of trust.

People of differing ethnicities are disinclined to trust those outside their subgroup.

Maybe we can put you in charge of the CDC and you can make it happen.
