I love this kind of thinking.
Earlier in the year it was this was a bad flu, no cause for alarm, no lockdown necessary.
This has switched to the virus being too contagious to contain so you might as well do nothing major to address it and let it run its course.
Truth is countries that took this seriously and acted swiftly controlled it. They’ll be reopening soon (Singapore already has, right?). I’m guessing the US will probably start lifting in May. Trump can huff and puff all he wants but so much of the US economy is tied up in about 10 states so they ultimately call the shots... and they’re keeping the quarantine through the month.
- jeremyjh 7y agoSingapore had to tighten up again already. I think perhaps the only country with credible control and an open economy is South Korea.

- jasonlingx 7y ago> Singapore already has, right? Nope. Singapore “locked down” 10 days ago shutting down all schools and non-essential services in what the government has been calling a “circuit breaker”, and the locals have been playfully shortening to “CB”, the short-form of the local Hokkien colloquialism referring to a woman’s genitals. Despite this the number of daily new cases keeps rising and today’s numbers are a new high (again).
- tinus_hn 7y agoSingapore got a 20% increase in cases today, they have not controlled it and they have not reopened.
- sebastianconcpt 7y agoThe only thing that stops this biological contamination is developing community immunity. Treatments help a bit. Almost all else makes it worst.
