I mean, we should have opened up back then. All the curves in all the regions around the globe have basically the exact same shape regardless of restrictions in place. They all peaked right around the same time, and are all falling dramatically at the same time. Sure the numbers might be slightly different, but they are all in the same ballpark per capita. Those with heavy handed restrictions didn’t score 10x or 100x better.. they only did marginally better or often even worse!
It’s almost as if you cannot stop a respiratory virus using extremely barbaric non pharmaceutical interventions.
- glsdfgkjsklfj 6y agothat is absolutely not correct! very few countries had effective social isolation, most like the US were having both the economic and health negative side effects of closing and not closing because leadership was disagreeing on everything. For example, some cities had curfews and closed restaurants, but open airports and counted every business that was not a restaurant as "essential". But the few countries that did things correctly, like NZ, did have a much better outcome with close to ZERO deaths.
