It's not about hygiene theater. It's about the government mismanaging the health system and degrading capacity, while leaving the educational system without any actual hygiene measures (no masks, no distancing, no ventilation, etc...)
The entire testing and contact tracing infrastructure has crumbled. You have to wait 3+ hours to get a test, and you have a good chance of being sent back home. Meanwhile, there is an 81% chance that one of the two people next to you in line are positive, and there is not enough space for you to distance themselve from them.
Now even the most optimistic projections are that within two weeks there will be a shortage of ICU beds, so a lockdown is required.

- Valgrim 5y ago3+ hours in line, in freezing temperatures, on the sidewalk. There is no booking system.
- sudosysgen 5y agoIt's three days to get the results or more sometimes. Three hours is just how long you wait in line
