6) The situation I find most worrisome at the moment is actually in Singapore. The government there does not have a reputation for, um, "mildness" or lack of control, but their growth rate in cases this month has been about 3% PER DAY. That is better than 3.5% (especially when compounding), but does not qualify as "control" in the big picture. Read this one for what it says this time, and think about what I've been trying to tell you.
Infection control in our border hospitals is a joke compared to Singapore.

A lot of the coronaviruses are spread by migratory birds ---I don't know about this one ---but quarantining humans might be a waste of time. Chronic diseases like TB are coming in from Mexico ---but I'm not sure something like cold viruses are going to be prevented even with border enforcement.
