Good to see the Confederate/American Nazi think tank weigh in. At least they are not whining about child labor laws this time.

fascinating now take a look at this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_obesity_rate

Looks like we’ve got some competition. 

“Australians can expect to live longer than ever before, but we are now among the worst in the world for obesity, the latest biennial report card on the nation’s health has revealed. More than 70 per cent of Australian men are now considered overweight or obese.  Women fare somewhat better with a rate of 56 per cent, but are just as likely to be considered obese, with almost 28 per cent of Australians now in this category.”

“Australia is ranked fifth for obesity, with wider waistlines than countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada and Ireland, but slimmer than Hungary, New Zealand, Mexico and the United States, which has an obesity rate of 38.2 per cent.”
https://www.smh.com.au/national/australians-are-fat-and-getting-fatter-says-national-report-card-20180619-p4zmgt.html

“New Zealand has the third highest adult obesity rate in the OECD, and our rates continue to increase. One in three adult New Zealanders (over 15 years) is classified as obese, and one in ten children.”

They’ve done relatively very little testing, minimal lockdowns, and have a very old population yet have had virtually no issues. From the way some talk, it shouldn’t even be possible.

Testing is just one piece of the puzzle in containing Covid-19.  What you do before and after are equally important.  Here's some areas where Japan did a better job than our country:
•   Near universal masking
•   Extensive contact-tracing, especially in the early phase of the pandemic
•   Early, consistent public health warnings to avoid closed spaces, crowded places and close-contact settings (the “3Cs”)
•   A cluster-based containment approach
•   Strong collective action (i.e., lots of people who respect and care for each other) that led to voluntary compliance with the health warnings

If you are following best practices universally, you shouldn't even need testing.
