No, I'm saying that the response in regards to the number of people who have contracted it is utterly ridiculous.

- monocasa 6y agoTheir response _allowed_ them to keep the number of people who contracted down. As of now, the US has more than 100x deaths per capita from covid than New Zealand because of measures like that.
- ceejayoz 6y agoWhy? "Everyone stop moving around for a few days so we can contact trace and test these people without it spreading more" seems like a very good mitigation. It has worked well for NZ thus far; they've been able to demask, hug, and live life pretty much normally for a while now. I'd happily take the occasional few days hard lockdown in exchange for that.
- albedoa 6y agoThis is absolutely crazy. You are arguing the point of the comment that you say you don't believe.
- imtringued 6y agoYou have to consider what would happen otherwise. If you lock down cities at 1000 infections then how many other cities manage to reach 1000 infections before you take action?
