>>12198705>This shit could have been solved by simply rejecting all flights coming from italy and spain. Why the fuck did nobody do so?Would've been like the early ban of China travel - you delay the problem, you don't solve or prevent it. Buying time is good, but you're dealing with a respiratory virus that has like 50% of its spread happening pre or asymptomatically.
>If this shit that's already killed a million people (and probably took another couple million from healthcare collapse) isn't enough to set up a strong cooperative response, then what the fuck is it? What are we waiting for? What is the world supposed to look out for?Ironically the low death rate (1 in x,000 for various ages under 60) means a weaker cooperative response. People won't buy into the steep economic cost of lockdowns or quarantines if the virus ravages their area and they still don't know anybody who knows anybody who died, or if it only kills ultraoldfags at death's door anyway.
