The spread rate for TB varis. I gave you the chart. Here is the link to the first study which comes up. It says the spread rate in US was found to be .55. That is why testing and tracing can work here.

If you are going to support science and data when it helps the doom cause and then deny when I present it....
You really do argue like jello.
Get us a few studies show the TB spread rate in the US is 2.0 and provide the links.
When you have a virus where 50 percent of the people are asymptomatic testing and tracing will be quickly overwhelmed in a good size city if the spread rate is high.
Its basically math. Now... some cities and some places are working on new tech driven techniques... but again... the spread rate would still have to be very low with a virus in which 50 percent of the people can spread it an not even know they have it.
Its basic math.
I can't believe you keep arguing.
You seem to think testing and tracing has some magical properties.
its math and its limited by the reality that human tracing does not really work works an infectious person goes on a subway and walks around a crowded city at lunch.
The effective reproduction rate (R) with mitigation of TB varies by location. The Rnaught rate of TB with no mitigation is 2. The Rnaught rate of COVID-19 is at least 2. The R rate of COVID-19 in Germany is 0.8 or below currently.
You are, once again, confusing the raw reproduction rate (Rnaught) with the effective Reproduction rate (R) with mitigation.
TB is controlled both inside the U.S. and outside the U.S. in places with a higher R rate with lockdowns as needed, individual isolation, contact tracing and testing. It is effective for TB and it is the proper path for COVID-19.
