ok, let’s isolate the 0.2% of the 20 to 40K — they would die otherwise
Remember that 10% (out of which you got the 0.2%) would need hospitalization. And that 9.8% aren’t with high risk factors (or may be). So you isolate 10 million 20 to 40 year olds. You add to that the 50 million 60+1.
Oh and another 10 million odd 40 to 60s. Now you want to isolate 70 million people.
how?
A 6 week lockdown is unrealistic because we will constantly be re-igniting the spread right after restrictions are lifted (after we’ve all wasted the 6 weeks sitting around doing nothing).
Everytime some infected person from Mexico (or anywhere else) enters the country (it will run wild in Mexico and other countries for the next 12 months), bammo - another 4-6 week lockdown.
There are ONLY TWO ways to stop the spread of a virulent virus, that the rest of the world has, 1) shut the borders/shut everything down for 12 months (and then we are all still susceptible to it) - not gonna happen or 2) let the healthy get it and rely on herd immunity to extinguish each new ignition source - What smart countries are doing.
Over 5 years, less people die in the herd immunity scenario. Next year, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Mexico and Sweden won’t worry about Coronavirus.
