It is certainly more comforting/assuring to see more actions take right now. Once mobilized, US starts to impress more.
But I fear what has been done is not enough, because it only feel necessary, but the virus is an exponential growing crisis, our capacity can not possible catch up with it.
Strict lockdown right now. Take the short term pain, but better for long term.
- pyuser583 7y agoI’ve heard the opposite. Locking down only works as long as people lock down. Once the lockdown ends, the virus re-emerges. The repeated lockdowns continue until a vaccine is created. Taking less serious measures - only locking down the elderly - creates heard immunity, albeit with a higher death rate. The absolute lockdown we are doing now means the crisis will go on longer. The short term pain solution would be accepting the higher fatality rate for heard immunity. For the sake of my elderly parents, I’m glad we’re starting with a lockdown.
