Lady Rah Rah 2,013 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Finally...so many people in the UK were not taking it seriously at all. Which included some of my friends and I made sure they knew how I felt about it Chromatica will live on forever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless ur prepared to just be on lockdown forever until a vaccine and not let is spread almost at all until then in which case enjoy an economic collapse But if ur gonna attempt to flatten the curve which is what countries are trying to do, u kinda have to wait to get a certain amount of cases until u go into full lockdown I don't claim to know the magic number tho because it's not clear yet at what rate it will still spread under lockdown Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not about "flattening the curve", its about protecting EVERYONE Nd you can't do that if you aren't on a lock down. Did we learn nothing from Italy, or Spain? Lock it down at the first few cases and it can't spread... then only a tiny minority get it and everyone else stays healthy End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u shut everything down TOO early, that can actually backfire later potentially See the case of Taiwan. They tackled the issue right away and were able to contain it without shutting things down or wrecking their economy. I think they have the fewest documented cases of it of any country in the world. Singapore did something similar. Neither country has had to resort to a lockdown. She/Her/Hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singapore did something similar. Neither country has had to resort to a lockdown. They were ready for this. They knew China had a history of spawning these new viruses and after the last time they made sure preemptively that they could handle another outbreak. Unfortunately no western countries were preemptively ready for this like they were. Hopefully we learn our lesson Coven Season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
