If everyone is staying home for
2-3 weeks, the ones infected will as
a majority develop symptoms and get sick. Some will need hospitalization but most will get well and thereafter hopefully be immune. The ones in the hospitals will either get well and immune, or die.The ones at home will often end upinfecting their families but they will become well and immune to.
American and North European families are rarely living together with their elders like they do in asia or many latin countries, this makes
protecting the most vulnerable,
the elders easier.Once you have done this “cleaning” cycle, the chances of random spread falls significantly, and testing and monitoring is more useful.

Of course you'd come back with political crap from one of the most biased fake news sources because there's nothing real backing your accusations! Go back to Fauci's & CDC's recommendations from January & February and see what their recommendations or lack of were! Also read what the very esteemed fake news WAPO you quoted said when we stopped the flights from China in January. Not to forget WHO and their valuable advice until mid February.

Most Western developed nations seem to have been inadequately prepared. It is far from clear why this was so and there are probably a number of explanations.
It's some years since the UK had anything somewhat comparable, the swine flu epidemic whereas the Asian nations had had more recent experience with the Sars virus and were better prepared. It looks as if there was a collective Western complacency. To what extent that was caused by lack of information from the Chinese is possible explanation but does not seem adequate given the mounting information from mid January onwards in the media.
The speed of its spread also seems to have taken us by surprise.
Obviously important questions for the inevitable UK independent enquiry.
Sounds like you didn't even bother to read one word or the article. Conversely, I did read the entire link you posted fro AEI which is a known right wing group.
I can't post actual quotes from the POTUS since that would be political. Maybe you should take some time and look them up.
You win. The US response was great.
No doubt there was a lack of unpreparedness. But, how did Taiwan manage to stem the tide so well?
Here we go, the true intentions behind the incessant bitching!
It's a subscription article so I can't read it but the picture is representative of what the article is all about. WAPO is well known for it's partisan stance and fake articles.

Taiwan is the size of Indiana and has like 35 airports. The US is a lot bigger than Indiana and has over 1000 airports.
Asyptomatic patients made the primary response of quarantine inefective. Denial was also a factor. Combine that withn economics and politics.
I don't know but being that much closer to China I imagine they were much better informed.
I am sure also that another important factor in the inadequacy of the Western respone has ben thesubstanial cuts since the 2008 financial crisis to public health systems. Certainly an important factor here in the UK and the CDC in the USA has seen substantial cuts to its funding in recent years.
In contrast Gemany's health system is much better funded and it has probably coped better than anywhere else as a result.
FWIW, the article is not just about the executive office response but also about the unpreparedness of the CDC and related organizations which are the fault of YEARS of government mismanagement. It also goes into the fact that China did not provide the US with virus information early on and did not accept our offer of sending CDC personnel there. It is far from a Trump-bashing article.
Honestly, I don't care what you (mistakenly) think the source of my disgust with the US response is. Believe what you want. We are supposed to have the most money of any country on earth but we were not prepared to deal with a pandemic. The issues go way beyond the current administration.
Either there was a lack of preparedness, or a unpreparedness.
Not both
Touche'
Lack of preparedness.
And listen to its own
agencies and scientists
1/14/20 - WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announces Chinese authorities have seen "no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus."
1/21/20 - When asked "We don't have to worry about this one, right?" US Dr. Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (for 36 years) said “Well, obviously you need to take it seriously. And do the kinds of things that the CDC and the Department of Homeland Security are doing, but this is not a major threat for the people of the United States and this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about.”
And it's the lies and false hopes. Again promoting hydroxychloroquine today without proof yet that it works. Google:
hydroxychloroquine antiviral combo
I make replies on my phone, too. Just don't tap "enter" unless you really need to make a new paragraph.
Considering the alternative, a person dying from corona virus may not need proof.
