I don't think finger pointing helps- I'm also not required to silently humor those pointing fingers.

South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore- they all knew *exactly* what the US and UK knew. It was an open book test. Countries governed by a class of moronic oligarchs failed.

Can our politicians be overly keen on a heartless sort of utilitarianism? Yep. But the governing class is still overwhelmingly a technocracy. 40% of our graduates are STEM- so we wear masks, stay home and don't blame 5G.

And when we say "failed an open book test" it's not hyperbole. They literally published handbooks in almost a dozen languages in record time back in early March detailing *exactly* what to do to fight this, put all the resources online- and were ignored.
