Clearly it is a solution. The problem is that places like Spain stopped their lockdowns. What we really need is a flexible and informed approach, where the stringency of lockdowns is implemented on a sliding scale determined by actual real-time case numbers. Masks and other basic measures should be everywhere and always required and more stringent steps applied proactively as hot spots emerge. This coupled with rapid testing and contact tracing works. It has been proven multiple times in multipel places.
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoThe actual problem with Spain is that they have a decentralised system of contact tracing (which is normally good), but which didn't really get implemented quickly enough. Madrid in particular did pretty poorly at this. Additionally, their economy is so dependent on tourism that they felt they needed to open back up to avoid ruination. This lead to loads more cases, coupled with pandemic fatigue and here we are.
