Yeah, because kicking the can down the road and destroying the economy on top of it is a great plan. You do realize that South Korea didn't have draconian economic crackdowns and handled this better than anyone thus far, right? Lets ignore those who handled it the best like South Korea, and instead emulate those who handled it the worst like China and Italy instead. Great plan, Bob.
Dude, take a gander at places like Italy. Once you let it rampage through your population, you are getting Black Death numbers you fucking loon. The economy is fucking dead no matter what. Sacrificing millions of people isn't going to change that reality.
So do like Italy does even though they fucked up the most aside from China.
Great plan, Bob. What could possibly go wrong with emulating the biggest fuck ups instead of the smallest fuck ups?
SK was the first to stop travelers from China and apply local quarantines, lockdowns and social distancing. The reason they haven't had to use draconian measures is that they have a population prepared to listen to advice and do what they are told.
It's not even that they are a more docile populous, it's because they were hit hard by SARS 1 and remembered the lessons learned. More geography than social differences.
They were also better prepared in terms of equipment which has helped contain and track the spread.
All achieved through central planning.
There's little difference between Italy and the rest of Europe or even the US in terms of procedures, healthcare standards or preparation. They just suffered because they had less time to prepare.
