Interesting story from a traveler from China to the USA. He says America isn't as safe, since it isn't as prepared. I see where he's coming from, but I think he's mostly wrong. The reality is that, with humans, you need an imminent threat to get people to act. In China, it became obvious that there was a huge problem and people did what they had to do to stay safe. The same thing will happen in America if the virus hits us hard (which, if you believe the experts, is still unlikely). The good thing for America is that we'll know immediately what we're dealing with; China lost time because it didn't know what was going on and the authorities initially wanted to downplay the problem (as authorities, especially in authoritarian states, are often inclined to do).
