It's not clear the US does have fewer proportions of actual cases, just fewer tested ones.
Saying the virus cannot be stopped seems defeatist. China seems to have managed it locally, albeit with some very aggressive measures.
- simonh 7y agoIt’s only a matter of time before it starts over there again, even if through back-propagation from other countries. Everyone’s talking as though China solved the problem. Incredible.
- chimprich 7y agoThey don't need to solve the problem, just keep the infection rate slow enough to be controlled medically. And then keep everything locked down enough until we can get a vaccine produced. Admittedly, a gargantuan task, and I don't think it's going to happen anywhere else.
- SamReidHughes 7y agoThey don't need to do that either, they could just let more people die. That's what you're proposing, if you don't realize it. If you get the growth rate below 1, you can wipe out the disease, instead of merely delaying it.
