It worked for both SARS and MERS. Even though more contagious, it might have worked for Covid until it escaped to Europe in early Feb 2020.
- tacon 4y agoI thought COVID required lockdowns because symptoms only appear after days of being contagious. SARS definitely presented a fever very closely following infection, and thermal scans in airports were effective. Not so much for COVID.
- nradov 4y agoNo, it didn't work. SARS-CoV basically burned itself out. MERS is still around (carried by camels) and infects humans occasionally. In both of those, the public health measures had very little effect.
