I think you overestimate your neighbors’ appetite to murder hundreds of millions of people, or to let others get away with doing so.

- xfitm3 7y agoThere is a whole group of people with an opinion thats different from yours. In my area nobody obeys lockdown or social distancing.

- bagacrap 7y agoheh, what? in what scenario does contact tracing save hundreds of millions of lives? I think if it were widely agreed upon that it would save hundreds of millions, folks would universally be on board. It's disingenuous to assert that people who are against contact tracing are murderers, because evidence is lacking that it will make the difference between peak caseloads exceeding or staying under healthcare capacity.
- xfitm3 7y ago> It's disingenuous to assert that people who are against contact tracing are murderers Thank you. Unfortunately this is a heated / political issue now, it's going to take a long time to restart the economy.
- closeparen 7y agoThe economy is not getting restarted without a way to mitigate the virus's spread. Maybe for a few weeks, until people see with their own eyes what exponential growth of dead bodies looks like, but not sustainably.
- closeparen 7y agoThe one where it works well enough to replace lockdown. You're right, that scenario is not guaranteed. Meaning we might be stuck with lockdown until vaccination. But there is no way responsible adults are going to let people just go back to normal. The threat that required lockdown in the first place has not diminished in any way.
- fulafel 7y agoSidestepping the loaded term.. There are lots of counterexamples, eg muted action in response to in climate crisis and global poverty problems.
