I found Dr. Cody's comments on the failure of the contact tracing program to contain the disease to be evasive and not very informative. She basically said that they successfully developed a large contact tracing and tracking organization. That is true, but it took probably two months longer than originally promised. She then said the on the ground epidemiology needed to achieve containment was beyond their capabilities, but exactly why remained unstated. If I were to read between the lines a bit, I would interpret her comments to be saying they couldn't get cooperation on quarantine and isolation from the public. She made no comment on why they couldn't account for half the infections they are seeing and the interviewer did not ask (or press her on the epidemiology issues). Would have been an interesting question. How do others see it?
