I was being haha-serious, not completely serious.

The response to "we threw money at $FOO and it didn't work" is "You didn't throw enough money at $FOO".

[PS. which country threw money at the COVID problem and had worse or the same results?]

I don't know what country you live in, but they definitely didn't try that in mine.
