gollark: ~~I expect incompetent governments would have been about equally incompetent, subject to random variation.~~ Actually, with this and level of trust in governments there are probably long-term complex things here I have no idea about.
gollark: Maybe contact tracing would have been somewhat better with 2029 technology; there seems to be a lot of work on position/thing sensing using mobile devices' radios and such now, and by then it would probably have matured. (Yes, this is overly specific, but things)
gollark: And remote work and associated tooling would probably be further along.
gollark: We might have had somewhat better medical technology to combat it with initially, I guess.
gollark: I think the effectiveness numbers are better for the Pfizer one.
