Corona containment is dozens of different nations around the world doing rain dances. Inevitably it rains somewhere, and the rituals corresponding to that storm are considered an example of the correct rain dance. Everyone adds that dance to their repertoire.

Modellers devise 'models' demonstrating what enormously efficacious impact that rain dance will have here, too, if only we adopt it. If you ask for proof that the rain dances work, you get the models, and you get the coincidental rain storms.

If you point out that we have been doing this rain dance for weeks to no effect, it's because we are doing something wrong. The rain dance itself is fundamentally correct. New Zealand, a nation with totally different climate on the other side of the world, proves this.

Rain dances in regions with rainy climates will be the ones that everybody adopts. Because they always seem to bring the rain. This is the equivalent of doing whatever they do in Colombia because it rains the most there.

In the Corona pandemic, we end up doing whatever they're doing in Asian-Pacific countries, because for whatever reason, Corona is really weak there and associated with very little mortality. Contact tracing, lockdowns, everything else has a precedent in some Asian Pacific country

The failure of these measures in Europe and North America *proves* that these measures are not why the Asian-Pacific is doing all right.

We can't see that, because our broken cargo-cult thought process is too confident of the causality and only sees proof in one direction.
