That's one of the biggest issues with a too tight lockdown, and only time will tell which countries did it 'right' and which didn't. I like the British approach.

Well beside stabbing @heywoodu, I feel much better. My symptoms have almost dissapared. I can now sleep normally. I haven't been checked, so I don't know if it was "just" a common flu or the Covid-19. Of couse, even though my symptoms are gone, I will still follow the guidelines of my country's health authorities and stay in home quarantine.

OlympicsFan 776 Posted March 17, 2020 #1248 Share Posted March 17, 2020 2 hours ago, heywoodu said: It makes literally zero difference though. To try and contain the spread at least inside the country, they should have completely closed borders for people coming out of the then affected areas, specifically Wuhan/Hubei/China, Iran, South Korea and Italy. Blocking people from Ecuador or Burundi, for example, makes zero difference considering they'd be coming into a more affected area instead of bringing something into a less affected area. How do you know that? I always wonder why people for example take the brazilian or indian numbers seriously ... when you test noone you probably also won't find infected people ... I am not saying that this it the case in Ecuador/Burundi, but just because someone hasn't testes positive, doesn't mean that he/she isn't infected and might spread it. Personally i also don't know what should be done with a person like that? Where/how should they go into quarantine? What is the point of travelling to a foreign country when that country is in a lockdown? Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

heywoodu 13,499 Posted March 17, 2020 #1250 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Countries closing their airports and land borders...as someone who's sometimes been playing Plague Inc every now and then for the past few years, it's just bizarre to see it happening in real life now.
