Exactly my point. Widespread business closures never happened in South Korea, so we don't need them here. Masks did happen there, so we do need them here.

There has been a study on Covid virus reproduction factor in China, which showed a correlation between increasing temperature and humidity, and decreased reproduction factor. Coronaviruses also cause common colds, which also tend to go away in summer. There's every evidence that it will become easier to control in summer - most likely generating a false sense of security, since summer doesn't last forever.
Agreed that free movement of people will take a long term hit. I think free movement of goods will take less of a hit.
Nope, South Korea is a first world nation with first world health care. Americans need to get in their heads that the US is a shithole country in may ways, but especially health care.

So, shut it down, shut it all down. That's the only way our shitty health care system can handle this thing. People over profits. I mean even if that means destroying the Neoliberal order, I'm all for it. Autarky uber alles.
Yeah, but look at this.

And, you have to shut down every international flight to keep it from coming back. So, even if the transmission rate is lower in a warmer warmer weather, there's no worldwide immunity , so again, given globalism, the current pandemic is just one plane ride away from sparking a new outbreak. So, John, the only way to kill covid is to kill globalism. I'm all in favor of shutting down globalism for good. It's dead man walking anyway, so let's just nudge it off the cliff to the great beyond.
Ohhh yeah, baby, burn, globalism, burn. The smell of burning balance sheets of elites smells good in the morning.
