Rich means he can throw his weight around via his wealth. Or develop Corona 22, 100x's as lethal, 4x's as spreadable yours for just 3billion $$$'s Lockdowns guaranteed pointless but still used.
I don't think we can yet judge what the death rate in a large city will end up being but hope you are right, even close to right should work out. At least we wouldn't go through a second strict lockdown here nor in the other cities which have been hit hard, like Brussels (my wife s fav)
Interesting. I am sure Spanish wants to see positive result after the tough lockdown. What are the consequences if people failed to obey the lock down ?
According to official documents fines 600euros up to 100s of 1000s for bigger issues involving commercial establishments, although read mentions of 100euros fines being handed (possibly in foreign newspapers, not sure how informed they were, fines in official spanish documents definitely start at 600e). over 200k fines handed by March 31st. Aggressive police and neighbours, some caught on video, some reported by friends. 1000s of arrests and a few people jailed over repeated confinement offences. Infection and death numbers are way down, now it remains to be seen what happens when the society opens up. Huge restrictions will stay in place for a while, easing progressively or turning back to full lockdown depending on how it evolves.
Pretty confident here, been following a lot of stat's and models, I started off at 4.8% before realising the scam then 0.3%, 0.05% looked good for a while being Flu x 2, Sadly NYC carried on further than expected before peaking. Americans have crap health care so 0.1% average death rate per country is what I expect. Spain is at 0.05% currently, so half way there, took 2months to get to 0.05%, likely take another 6months to get to 0.1% with ever decreasing deaths. 4.8% wouldn't justify lockdowns to me, 10%+ only.
But then why did he warn people that we need to prepare for a pandemic if he wants the population to reduce?
