UK put everyone who cannot work due to Covid on 80% of their salary (sort of). So surely it could do that to a smaller cohort too.
That US cannot do it is no reason to not consider it.
- claudeganon 6y agoOh, certainly. Apologies for my US-centric framing. I hope the rest of the world follows South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam’s example and not our’s. South Korea has only had limited, regional lockdowns and never closed their borders. If everyone followed their examples, lockdowns would likely be unnecessary to begin with.
- makomk 6y agoThe UK did this once. It's probably not going to happen again, certainly not on such generous terms, and one lockdown was not enough to stop Covid - just to delay it until right on top of the winter flu season.
