Some people say that instead of doing lockdowns we should learn to live with the coronavirus. What is that supposed to look like? Should triage in hospitals be a normal thing then?
Lockdowns definitely help prevent the spread of the virus. No argument on that. However, in poor countries without any governmental aid people, especially poor families, cannot just sit in their homes and magically make their ends meet. I mean without preparing for the lockdowns, you're gonna end up with more people dying from poverty or hunger. For example, within the last weeks there were several reports of teenagers committing suicide because of poverty. Imagine 11 year old boy hanging himself 'cause his family couldn't afford to buy a cell phone so that he could get online education. All I'm saying is without considering the financial impacts of lockdown, especially on poor families, it would cost lives that it intended to save.
Sim. Testa todo mundo e isola só os contaminados
Como fez países sérios como a China
it looks like whatever we have going on in the US right now. a large portion of our population denies that the virus is even real, and people who can at least acknowledge that it's real think it's a joke and it doesn't matter if they get it. people will continue to die, people will continue to have irreversible damage to their body even if they "recover" from COVID, the government will continue to ignore it.
I guess it means to gather, sneeze at each other and establish a good sense of mutual understanding, harmony and maybe the virus afterwards wants to get adopted to eventually be part of a family?
flattening the curve doesn't mean lowering the number of people infected, it means spreading it out over a longer period of time. Experts are clear that this will continue until either max saturation or herd immunity is attained, unless it mutates enough to render immunity irrelevant. At which point it is fair to say that it is just going to be endemic, like the flu. Though, hopefully we can have a well tested and safe vaccine that will help.
