They’re not ok with it, it’s simply seem as the best option to control spread - almost everyone in the world will be exposed to this over the next few years. Seems fairly rational to me to attempt to control that exposure given the vast majority will experience v. mild symptoms and those who are at risk will be able to stay home and get urgent care as required if it works out.
Denial is not an effective response, nor is attempting to quarantine 60 million people indefinitely, or closing schools for indefinite periods (puts more pressure on hospitals as staff need to take time off or find childcare, kids not even confirmed as a vector here).
There are certainly different possible ways to delay and different timings for implementing different measures, it will be interesting to see which is most effective in the end. Let’s just hope that hospitals in most countries can cope with the strain.
- temac 7y ago> puts more pressure on hospitals as staff need to take time off or find childcare Yes but you can use a trick: still allow children of medical staff in schools. That what is planned in France, for now.
- grey-area 7y agoSure that sounds sensible. There will be many variations on responses to this, it’s too early to say which worked best.
