Where we can do better than Italy is learning from your experience and taking measures earlier: we aren't first.
Even measures less aggressive than your lockdowns would be more effective if they were simply taken earlier.
This isn't a criticism of Italy. Getting the political will to shut things down when there are few cases and no deaths is extremely hard. But the experience of Italy is showing all of us what our unwillingness to do so will cause.
- asjw 7y agoBut I bet nobody will, because you know nobody wants a lynch mob looking for them UK is still having giant music shows with thousands of people, Germany is not counting people with previous conditions, France had even a smurf convention (sigh!) We all have a family member living in one of the EU countries and are all calling home sick worried because nobody is doing anything because “The Italians, any old excuse to, you know, shut down everything and stop work for a bit and have a long siesta.” (it's not a joke, a British TV personality really said that) So maybe be like Italy and not like everybody else this time. Seriously, I've been confined 3 weeks and am fine, but my friends calling me from abroad are crying for help, because they want to come back, but can't.
