Randomly reminded of this moment 7.5 years ago, when the overriding national conversation was that the Obama-Romney campaign felt annoyingly long https://t.co/U6Q4Myczcg — PolitiTweet.org

From me today: • A cautionary tale of two Italian cities • The South Korean lesson that South Korea badly wants us to learn • How both of those reveal the big remaining opportunity for the US, and why we're not taking it • Tldr: Timing is everything https://t.co/wSPLL6I65X — PolitiTweet.org

Getting obsessive about the case numbers in areas that appear at risk of an outbreak, and encouraging those communities to move *early*, would be much more in line with South Korean advice on how to learn from them than fighting about masks on twitter fwiw https://t.co/AjXJlSjYOB — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Something South Korean public health folks quadruple-underscored was the importance of moving to contain outbreaks the moment case-one appears. It's too late for the US as a whole to do this, but lots of US cities and states still have time to reproduce the SK model locally! — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

I understand why Mask Discourse has become all-consuming. It's one thing individuals can kinda control and masks clearly matter. But when we spoke to South Korean public health officials they put masks somewhat low on their list of what other countries should be learning from SK. — PolitiTweet.org

@DKThomp @web People I know in still-open NY retail say theyre doing everything they can to reduce foot traffic and turn away customers beating down their doors. Lots of people voluntarily switching to ecommerce but also lots of bored & anxious people eager to mob physical stores if they could — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias I think it's worth asking whether those doubts require fully throwing out any and all potential lessons on what at least could be the world's only success at curbing a major outbreak. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

If your well-grounded concern is that official Chinese data can never be trusted, it’s worth considering that the WHO is vouching firsthand for the country having achieved a major turnaround. Is it worth even looking for lessons? https://t.co/231xWZ5rqT — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

I get why no one wants to hold up the China model as laudable, given Beijing's failures, propaganda, and authoritarian methods. But none of those are necessarily needed to reproducing China’s real successes, which could at least potentially save hundreds of thousands of lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

US outbreaks may be too far along for the South Korea model to work. The only thing left is the China model. It’s the only known success at subduing a full-blown epidemic. Instead of working with Beijing on finding lessons, the US is scapegoating China to deflect political blame. — PolitiTweet.org

@evanchill The correct answer is to watch it again, it is immune to overwatching. If you must stray, the BBC miniseries is great and reconciled a lot in the film for me. Others, though suspect you've seen them all: Syriana, Lives of Others, Spy Who Came in From the Cold, Fail-Safe. — PolitiTweet.org
