See my reply above, what would they be doing different, have free mass testing, set up a permanent department within the ministry with a standing budget to work on such viruses, set up mobile testing facilities in every part of the countryThe government has been trying containment with contact tracing and isolation. I would say they are partially successful because at this stage the increase would have been geometric/exponential if the virus had been left to its natural course.
What do you think they should be doing different?
