> If it could spread from a single point if will definitely spread now. As long as the virus exists it will continue to spread regardless of measures such as contact tracing. Respectfully, this is dangerous bullshit, and doesn't even make sense. The virus spread initially in a world without countermeasures. With countermeasures that reduce Re... if every infected person spreads it to less than one person on average, the spread on a population level stops. That's sort of the point. I'd highly suggest playing around with a cellular automaton or something to get a sense for super- v.s. subcriticality. > That's tragic, but everybody dies so there is no option of death or not death. The only question is how we die. Sure, I'm going to die someday with exceedingly high probability, but even though I know that, I haven't shot myself. And I wear a helmet when I ride my bicycle. I don't have any hard data to back this up, but I suspect the majority of people would prefer to die later rather than sooner. If you'd like to fund a poll to investigate this question, please feel free.
