What would you pick? - A slow and growing endemic with a huge death and economic toll or a short but ruthless restrictions for a 2-3 weeks? I'd pick the latter

What would you pick? - A slow and growing endemic with a huge death and economic toll or a short but ruthless restrictions for a 2-3 weeks? I'd pick the latter any time! We saw how better China fared compared to the rest of the world so far!
- jaclaz 5y agoI don't think the issue is the lockdown in itself or it being much more severe than anything that was done in other countries. It seems to me like the real issues revolve around the mis-management of availability of basic goods such as food and medicines. And another common critic is that such strict lockdowns while surely working for the original strains of Covid-19 seem to be much less effective with the recent more infective variants. As a side note, it has IMHO still to be seen how much China fared better than other countries.
- sbinthree 5y agoAre you saying covid will just go away once the lockdown is over?
- nikolay 5y agoNo, unless this is done globally at once, which is never gonna happen as people lack discipline and the ability to make small but meaningful sacrifices. But it's also in animals now, so, yeah, won't be easy, but half-ass measures are useless, I believe.
