Three sentences?

Well it doesn't get any better when you look at the whole thing.

From the blog - and there isn't much there - Scam 2: Claiming that isolating healthy people is a scientifically validated medical strategy rather than total bullshit somebody basically made up last week.

If you subscribe to the germ theory of disease, then to pass an infection from one person to another, viruses or bacteria have to get transmitted from one person to another. That happens over time and space. The amount that transmits from one person to the next is diminished in space by about 1/R^2. The amount that transmits in time depends upon suspension rates in air and lifetimes on surfaces.

Second, since we can see that the number of cases was doubling every 3 days, it means that it takes a finite amount of time to transmit the disease from one person to the next. It doesn't transmit across the entire population instantaneously or transmit to remote corners of the country through teleportation.

All of that means that time and distance decrease the probability of transmission.

Therefore creating distance in a virgin population will decrease probabilities and rates of transmission.

Of course the hard date shows that. But the flubros who spout this nonsense don't have data.

And, no, I don't support locking down and destroying the economy. But I do support reasonable and proportionate public health measures.
