[quote:Shaun Kaven:MV80MzE5MjU4Xzc4NjQ1ODI0X0ZENTA4NjY3] Join the list. Some 50 countries are now taking the same measures - all of them driven by one scientific journal article written by the Imperial College in the UK: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/sph/ide/gida-fellowships/Imperial-College-COVID19-NPI-modelling-16-03-2020.pdf France, Italy, Spain, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, etc etc all taking the exact same measures. Suppression will beat this, as it did in China, and within a month. For those countries not doing this (ahem, the US) and instead trying “social distancing” and other techniques, well, get ready for exponential growth and millions of deaths. I know none of us like federal action but without it dumb arses will still just keep doing whatever they want. [/quote]
