Really encouraged by South Korea's success slowing the spread by - high transparency re: location/movements of new cases - making testing widely accessible *and convenient* - closing high-risk locations - fostering a sense of responsibility for social distancing, mask-wearing
I think the lesson here is that it can be done without lockdowns. People can move freely, see a friend, shop — but it can't work unless people do the basics (hand washing, surface cleaning, 6-foot gap) & they'll only do that if they know there *are* cases *in their neighborhood*
I've been pretty gloomy about all this, but I think the US may still be able to get on SK's trajectory because our high case count is distributed across a number of clusters of moderate size. If each of those is managed *now,* we can avert or largely mitigate hospital overwhelm.
Entirely agree, unfortunately we have nothing like that level of information quantity, transparency, precision, and sense of responsibility here. Lots of ppls entirely dismissive of the threat, judging by a lot of the tweets (and associated likes) I see here and the lines at bars
For a given value of "in their neighborhood," true.
Hope I'm wrong but we seem to be following the path of Italy much more closely than the path of SK. Hence we're probably going to have to have lockdowns, and it's likely that it's going to get bad in some locations. I'm bracing for an outbreak here in Chicago.
w/o lockdowns sounds really good.
