>>11466273>>Isn't it better to get it early on then, preferably immediatelyYes. Longer you wait worse things are. Italy learned the hard way. Spain fucked up too they just realised today when deaths went up 100 in 1 day.
This graph shows how St Louis, Missouri, kept its death rate significantly lower by starting social distancing measures immediately after the first cases of flu were discovered. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, however, allowed a city parade to go ahead and took two weeks to bring in the same measures – as a result its death rate was considerably higher.
Official advice currently doesn't go much further than telling citizens to wash their hands even though the UK now has MORE CASES than China did when Wuhan's 11million people were forced into lockdown.
An analysis of statistics has shown that areas that acted fast have slashed their death rates by up to eight times compared to those who react after the virus has taken hold.
In South Korea, for example, an area home to 2.5million people was put into lockdown when just 204 people had been diagnosed and one had died. The country now has a death rate of just 0.8 per cent despite more than 7,800 cases.
But in Italy, large-scale lockdowns were not brought in until Sunday, March 8, by which time it had more than 5,800 patients. There are now almost 12,500 and 827 deaths – a death rate of 6.6 per cent.
Simply put, gov is retarded and UK will be Italy tier soon enough.
