But we are dealing with something pretty serious. A contagious virus with a risk of hospitalisation and death attached is serious, and pretending otherwise puts people at risk.

It doesn’t need to be airborne Ebola for a revolt in the middle of a pandemic to result in Hell on Earth.

Yes Corona is not as deadly as Ebola. But it is a pretty serious virus. A revolt would see it spread like wildfire and the health system utterly overwhelmed and unable to not only treat infected people but also those injured in the revolt.

Well then plan b is to let the virus burn itself out and punish those who broke quarantine for all the deaths they would have caused. Not ideal but if people want be stupid and selfish then oh well.

It was quite obvious what was happening. If I was president of China I would have closed the borders

By the time it was obviously happening it had already happened. People were travelling all over the world, infected with and spreading SARS CoV 2, before anyone knew that there was such a thing as SARS CoV 2. How can that possibly have been prevented? How could anyone have acted based on knowledge that nobody had? It's impossible.

But knowing that a virus exists can use AI to analyze a patient's trajectory of action.The chain of infection can be cut off after controlling all contacts.If that patients report their physical condition honestly.WHO believes that COVID-19 is less effective than influenza in transmission.But the key is that when there is insufficient evidence of a pandemic, those who take these measures are considered mentally ill.

Ah yes, the pandemic AI that monitors the movements of all the people on the planet. Definitely a real thing that exists.

Covid 19 is, in a way, worse than Ebola. When people contract Ebola, they pretty quickly get sick and often die. This greatly limits how far the virus can spread. Dead people don't tend to go to spring break. But covid 19 takes weeks to become symptomatic, and is highly contagious. It kills a smaller percentage of the people it infects, yes, but it can infect huge numbers of people. 90% of 10,000 people, as a random illustrative pair of numbers, is smaller than 20% of 1,000,000.

Yes when the Democrats and Anti Trumpers accuse President Trump of being guilty of everything on all issues and the virus, of being guilty of the deaths of the unfortunate persons who have passed away during this virus crisis.
