There is a difference between knitting a sweater over a week’s time and knitting 1,000 sweaters over a week’s time. Lots of the commentary I’ve read lately fails to recognize that. It’s not just 1,000 times more complicated. It’s many, many times a 1,000 times more complicated.
For Iceland to test 8% of its population of 365,000 people is a major undertaking. For the United States to test 8% of its 330 million population isn’t 1,000 times more complicated. It’s a million times more complicated. The logistical, manpower, communications, and material components are all incredibly vast. That’s sufficiently complex that it may not even be a worthwhile goal at all.
We need to be smarter than that.
