Also, the way WHO reacts to it is completely in reverse, should have done early lockdown on ground zero, block air flights, and mandatory masking, to reduce exposure and the spreading.
Instead, they do the complete opposite, they call country that block China travelers from entering their country as xenophobic, they say mask is useless, and lockdown is useless.
But after the whole world is infected, then they reverse all their initial ruling, mandatory block traveling, mandatory masking, and mandatory lockdown.
If you ask me, WHO has completely failed at their job from the very beginning.
Mask is important if you don't have immunity yet, it gives your body ample time to troubleshoot the virus before it replicate too much and impairs the lung, by reducing exposure, your body has more time to troubleshoot the new pathogens and build immunity safely.
From the start I wear mask already, when they say it is useless to wear it, but I stop wearing mask much earlier too, when it is still mandatory to wear it.
Issue is there are different people with different opinions on lockdown etc
Initially I think it seems like just a small flu, minimal deaths
Even influenza season, old people die. So why bother lockdown then. So many were against it. Tun was against it
But then ICU all around the world got overloaded by COVID patients because the infection is so rapid, with no vaccine available. So they decided to lockdown otherwise you would have patients dying from lack of ICU support.
Even in hindsight of this, many people still object to lockdown. People rather ICU overload and let people die (mostly old people, some rare young ones), because they are not effected by it.
End of the day, people want to see what they want to see.
That's just how I remember the rough timeline.
Hindsight 2020, but is it really 2020 tho maybe with thick shade of sunnies
