So we should all lock ourselves in the house for the rest of our lives? Because I don’t know if you know this but there are other things out there that can kill you. So why not just stay at home for the rest of your life.
That's not the criticism.
The phrase "This is obviously good news" is problematic.
To me, it is not obvious if we just go blind such as blindly
taking chloroquine and died or wondering should they take
disinfectants into their bodies.
It's a free country so people can do whatever they want but it's unfortunate that some don't follow science or don't get enough knowledge or just never consent to it.
The issue here is: informed and consent.
I used to see rarely anyone wearing a mask in a grocery store but I definitely see a gradual increase to the point that most do now.
Just give people the facts and let people choose.
There's no need to shut down the economy if we respect science.
Taiwan was predicted to have the second-highest case in the world due to its proximity to China but no, it's far from it.
They never shut down their economy: children and adults have been attending schools with no interruptions, restaurants and businesses have been open throughout without any interruptions. Many flights to and from the original infected city Wuhan--No problem!
The result is: It has 429 cases and 6 deaths as of now.
Taiwan's aggressive efforts are paying off in fight against COVID-19
The US is much richer, has many resources, and its citizens have been helping any way they can such as medical worker volunteers and countless sewers who have been volunteering to sew non-medical masks for medical staff, and what's the result?
We have the highest cases in the world 987,322 and the highest deaths in the world 55,415.
