I don’t think I can help much with answering these questions.
I was thinking of counties like Australia and New Zealand and Taiwan. But whether or not the strategies adopted in these places was actually optimal or best with the available information or applicable to most countries that are not islands or had a high chance of failure – I cannot say!
All I can say is that there is at least one plausible strategy that seems to have worked well in at least some countries and I personally don’t really remember it being discussed within the EA space a year ago.
Feel free to draw what conclusions or analysis you will from that.
the enormous costs
Just to add, I expect (but I might be wrong) that these countries have had lower welfare and economic costs than most other places.
