China Created a Fail-Safe System to Track Contagions. Human’s failed it

9/1/20: “They said that the illness was quite light, not much different from seasonal influenza, and there’d been no illnesses among hundreds of people with close contact,” nytimes.com/2020/03/29/wor…
This is a fascinating read that, underneath a system undoubtedly built with the best of intentions to prevent the human and systems failings reveal in SARS, reveals how human failings, complacency, obedience, political fear all, led to avoidable loss of life and not just in China
Too tired to do a thread tonight but if someone gives me a nudge in the morning I shall.

Some (in fact all) those same human failings on top of systems weaknesses reared their ugly heads all over the world.

Complacency . The desire to reassure. Political superficiality.
