Then home come their case rate just keeps falling? And their death rate. And unlike the countries that locked down, they're not experiencing a second wave of cases.
- tasogare 6y agoEven in countries where a second wave is happening, it’s a wave of infection only, not deaths. There is not reason to be scared of a disease that don’t kill. International travel restrictions should be lifted. We don’t need to wait for a vaccine that might be more a dangerous than to virus it’s supposed to fight. Current practices in East-Asia have shown to be enough to handle the thing.
- kuhewa 6y agoThere is not reason to be scared of a disease that don’t kill. What about one that causes permanent lung and/or heart damage?
- lbeltrame 6y agoYou mean like other viral infections, or bacterial pneumonia? As grave as the effects are, they are absolutely not unique to SARS-CoV-2.
- kuhewa 6y agoSure, and those grave effects are a 'reason'
- lbeltrame 6y agoThe incidence of these effects can be a reason. Unfortunately there are no reliable data on how they are prevalent.
- kuhewa 6y agoMy point is insofar as one would/should fear death, they would/should fear a decent probability long term nonfatal consequences to some degree. Incomplete information doesn't obviate that. Nonfatal=/=nothing to fear
- maerF0x0 6y agoThis is not universally true. In parts of California there was a jump in death rate reasonably close to a partial reopening. And has very slowly been trending downwards since they re-closed everything. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/california/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/california/
