"Senegal's quiet COVID success: Test results in 24 hours, temperature checks at every store, no fights over masks"

"Hotels have been transformed into quarantine units. Scientists are racing to develop a cutting-edge, low-cost ventilator."

"This isn't the pandemic response in South Korea, New Zealand..

It's Senegal, a west African country with a fragile health care system, a scarcity of hospital beds and about seven doctors for every 100,000 people."

Boston Consulting Group (BCG) report:

“It’s Not Too Late to Crush and Contain the Coronavirus”

“the sooner a country can limit the spread of the virus…the shorter the period that the economy will be frozen, and the sooner people can get back to work”

bcg.com/publications/2…
"In many countries around the world, restarting the economy while fighting the coronavirus has turned into a protracted and arduous slog. Some countries that seemed to be..decisively controlling the virus, such as Germany,. recently experienced new outbreaks and hot spots."

2/
"Others, such as the US, are seeing a rapid rise in infection and hospitalization levels that may signal uncontrolled virus transmission. Both situations..forced..national and regional governments to delay reopening schedules and, in some cases, reimpose targeted lockdowns."

For a physicist knowing RG (renormalization group) every problem starts by identifying relevant variables (what is important -> control parameters)

1/
Like having levers for controlling something and knowing what those levers are. For example: going into a car and knowing to push on the gas and breaks, and turn the steering wheel.

2/
If you don’t use these controls you can’t go anywhere, including where you want to go. If you do, then you can decide what to do and go there.
