        Got to love a bit of hindsight bias peppered with a dash of ignorance. Genius.

        The reason why the infection rate might be so low in Australia is due to UV light our country is soaked in. UV lamps are used to kill germs and bacteria in operating rooms. Sunlight seems to be the difference.

        No. It is successful social distancing put in place while we still had the capacity to track and trace individual cases.

        The fact that everyone is talking about an exit strategy now tells me that our reaction to the health crisis was right. For the economic measures, we might not need to spend the whole budgeted amount. But it's uncalled for to name our reaction hysterical

        Exhibit A. "Yet as more real data rolls in — as opposed to the wildly inaccurate epidemiological forecasts of millions of deaths globally and many thousands locally — justifications for massive interventions, fiscal and civil, are dwindling."https://twitter.com/SamHarrisOrg/status/1248423654725054466?s=20 …

        Pandemic Paradox #1: If rigorous social distancing works exactly as intended, successfully reducing the spread of contagion and death, the fools who resisted it will declare that they were right all along.
