“In general, evidence shows that restricting the movement of people and goods during public health emergencies is ineffective in most situations and may divert resources from other interventions.”
They’re still in “Ebola Mode”, with the thought being that if you spray a bit of bleach, wear an N95, and do a few other things, you’ll never get the bug.
In the case of Ebola, a big ‘problem’ for the countries that had it bad (all in West Africa) was that a lot of Westerners simply didn’t want to take the risk of going there to help them...so they probably suffered more than otherwise necessary. But, of course, it took bodily fluid transmission to spread...and that is reasonably easy to avoid.
Now the TWHO (Third World Health Organization) is more interested in preventing that outcome (infected countries not getting help), than containing the spread. The problem, this time, is that Coronavirus spreads via aerosol transmission, and if you get enough exposure to it, you WILL get the disease. And if you go into a high-concentration zone for any length of time, like the Love Boat, you will get the disease. And if the concentration of the virus in the air is high enough, it will get past anything short of those military positive pressure suits...you WILL otherwise get it.
As I said a month ago, they’re still fighting the last war...and nothing seems to have changed regarding that.
Donning and doffing PPE is easy *if practiced often*. There were many cases of Ebola being transmitted during the doffing process. Removing gloves without coming in contact with the glove exterior takes constant vigilance.
Stay away from coughs, sneezes and hiccups and don't shake hands or have sex with an infected person. And by all means, stay away from white man's medicine and destroy his clinics.
