The virus has proven to have lasting damages on anyone who has caught it whether they survive it---or not. I'm not a lockdown forever supporter but seeing how "prepared" the US is/was, I'm choosing to stay within the necessary precautions to stay alert and prepared. Sounds to me you are putting too much faith on the readiness of the gov as a whole. Good luck with that. |

He has opted for the Let 'er Rip strategy. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21129064 God help us all. [link to thehill.com (secure)] He didn't opted for it. It's the ONLY WAY to deal with the second wave. Back at the start of the pandemic, I argued in favor of shutting down all international and national transport, as the best way to slow the spread of the virus. The lock-downs were forced because what should have been done much earlier, wasn't done. Things were already out of control, and lock-downs were the only way. Most countries will not have a nation-wide lock-down in the second wave, unless the second wave is to big and things go out of control. They will opt for localized lock-downs and quarantines, at factory level, city level and county level, at most, paired with travel restrictions and other NPI measures. I am not sure if the economy will be able to function, when RANDOM areas and businesses will close down for a week or two, but I am sure that the economy won't survive a second round of nation-wide lock-downs. So, it is a bet that we, as a society, are taking it : hope to save the economy, with localized lock-downs, IF the second wave is not too big. If it is big enough that we don't have another option but lock-down everything again...well, God help us. But we have to try without nation-wide lock-downs. We just HAVE TO.

I never said or implied that the world is going to end, just that there is a chance that society will break down, and if really unlucky, will take generations to rebuild. But, still, you were far more unrealistic, coming up with 99.99% survival rate of those under 50 and healthy. If this virus would infect only the healthy and under 50, yeah, you'd be right. But it doesn't. It infects anyone who is exposed, and tbh, less then 1% of the population is under 50 AND healthy. A moot point. |

Before I ban you, when I said that we need better and bigger lock-downs, that was said BECAUSE the lock-downs become inevitable, since what SHOULD have been done (and that was just a full stop of traveling, no lock-downs) wasn't done in time. The lock-downs SHOULD have been bigger and harsher, and if they WOULD have done it so, they would have been SHORTER. Sure, more "painful" (like sitting indoors is painful), but they would have been shorter. Now, since even if you are banned, you can still read, go through the thread and see WHEN and WHY I argued for harsher lock-downs, and you will see that it was AFTER the lock-downs started. Fucking idiot, can't even read and understand simple locgic. |

Borders still semi open for many countries and full lockdowns never implemented. Partial ones too late. So the virus is rampant in the population. People won't go through multiple lengthy lockdowns time after time so they will allow the second wave to rip through the population with maybe some restrictions to limit the increased capacity being overloaded completely. Once its run its course we will have to live with a new enemy as it mutates like its cousin the common cold.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78941796 Thailand 05/22/2020 10:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | IMHO: Strict locksdowns (across all age groups) are worth it for an enemy that comes and goes. This is, unfortunately, not that type of enemy. Delaying infections by destroying economies and livelihoods, at best, eases pressure on the medical system. This is helpful during a first wave to get a sense of what society is up against and to be better prepared going forward. But, overall, what we've done is a major net negative with each passing week. It's sort of like how governments dealt with the financial collapse in 2008. They made things worse. Even if things go relatively well from here on out... we will have lost more people from lockdowns than the virus itself. And, if the world loses confidence in the USD, literally hundreds of millions more will die. This is looking more likely. Philosophically speaking, society is also a virus and COVID-19 is no match for us. But we mishandled this with hysteria and we are suffering big time. The OP warned that many will die indirectly and that taking place in a major way (unreported just as he said). Not to sound like a eugenicist but the virus is only taking or harming those who can't fight back against it. Natural selection is part of life however tragic for each family. Of course, it could be there is bombshell information concerning this virus that they aren't telling us about. That may explain the ridiculous way it's been handled. |

For the whole duration of the lockdown in china, in the months of february, march and april, live webcams from wuhan and other chinese cities had always been online. Now there is not one single webcam active anywhere, except Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao. The webcams from Hong Kong and Beijing are not in high definition and are from a certain distance. The only close up cams I got are from Macao and those are in low resolution too. Other cities are not available anymore. In my opinion this can only mean that they are trying to hide any trouble inside those cities and provinces either because of new lockdowns, or because of civil unrest.
