    After all this mess, already the Western world closing down, my personal opinion would be that the only measures needed would have been these (but too late now):

    - Close the borders - nobody going in/out - zero travelling.
    - Anything else, business as usual
    - If anybody gets sick, stay at home for 2-3 weeks, all expenses paid by the Gov
    - If anybody gets TOO sick, ambulance takes them to a hospital for treatment.

    That's it.

    Yes, maybe 10% of the population gets the virus, you can have 3-5% deaths - as with any calamity anyway - but the economy keeps going, people live their lives accordingly, we fight it of together - not scared, not in panic, doing the best we can.

    Sure, we would care more for personal healthcare and for the elderly, but we don't fucking ruin the economy and billions of lives in under 2 months fsake

    • If you guise haven't figured out yet, that this is NOT the flu. This a virus...a virus as the potential of wiping out humankind in the matter of months.utopian
    • Oh utopian, wiping out humankind? WTF. The only really dying from it are elderly and some with health issues.NBQ00

    • Some 80% infected don‘t even know because the symptoms don‘t even show up and they‘re fine. So wiping out humankind hardly.NBQ00
    • Just wait until the COVID-19 starts mutating into another strand. that is when the party will really get started.utopian

    • This would have overloaded the ability to care for everyone accordingly. That’s why nobody who is an expert shares this opinion.monospaced
    • Yeah, then build more hospitals, not close everybody down and ruin the world. Who is gonna pay for all this? With what money?
