Curve may be flattening too quickly now???, page-83

@madamswer ..."The tests which provided the evidence of this virus having a high R-zero score, something you yourself referenced."
The high R-0 values came from actual numbers, not any 'lab tests', nor did I mention any lab tests. They came from an Italian epidemiologist and statitician and the Imperial college in London. Both were from real world numbers that were coming in, nothing to do with labs.

I've already mentioned why the spread in Australia so far is lower, contact tracing, which is is very thorough.

You have been saying that we are destroying the economy, I'm not in any disagreement of that at all, it is bad.

One aspect I've already mentioned on another thread is that everyone wearing face masks in public would greatly reduce the spread of the virus, and once hospitals were on top of the situation (we do not reached top of hospitalizations until after we peak in current infected numbers, as there is obviously a lag).

Again you have mentioned "alternative strategy" instead of something like a lockdown.

OK what are the potential "alternative strategies"? I would just like to know if you know of any, I'm sure everyone is all ears, but so far you have bagged the current strategy without offering anything.

This is a fast moving dynamic situation, waiting to form a 'better' strategy could be very costly and make any 'better strategy' obsolete by the time it is introduced.

Already the leaders around the world have been taking the slow approach, and been playing catch up ever since. They have not really tried to get in front of this disease, instead trying a little bit more hoping that will do something. Yes it is doing something alright, it is dragging this out a lot longer than is necessary, which IMHO will be worse for the economy.
