    People have been saying that controlling COVID-19 is impossible This is obviously wrong. We can control COVID-19, the question is really if we want to or nothttps://gidmk.medium.com/government-restrictions-can-control-covid-19-cd30c60a63f6 …

        It shouldn't be about control. It should be about logical discussion (on both 'sides')

        The worst thing is that the position we are in was avoidable and therefore your question would not even have existed

        Not as long as human beings are involved. It’s like saying we SHOULD be able to control obesity. In theory yes in practice no. Make the host stronger and protect the vulnerable

        People have also been saying for a while now that communism would work brilliantly if only it were ever implemented properly. Shame people are human beings really. Otherwise we could all live safely and fairly and well and happily ever after.

        Apart from the fact that we have a proven successful strategy for suppressing transmission that has worked in a number of other countries But never mind, let thousands more people die unnecessarily while we make trite comparisons eh?

        Curious how you would explain CA. They adopted all of the NPI’s and cases increased rapidly. Do you think people are not sufficently complying?

        You are not able to ctrl a virus. You can (perhaps) ctrl yourself.

        The "numbers" in Asutralia are horrible, if you compare them to the real leaders of measures & social distancehttps://twitter.com/FrankfurtZack/status/1348032620391772162?s=20 …

        The countries of South-East Asia are 1000 x better in social distancing than other countries. Interestingly enough, the same is true for the countries of central Africa - they are masters of social distance and measures, too. pic.twitter.com/6eGNJd25lU
