People in Wuhan really look like socially distancing and wearing mask to me

Wuhan coronavirus: From silent streets to packed pools

Images of crowds at a waterpark festival show how far the city has moved on from its January lockdown.

Like New Zealand what's the point when you've contained the virus & are experiencing no new infections.

That's why in N.Z. life went back to normal for over 100 days & sports stadiums were packed full of spectators.

A complete lockdown would probably eradicate the virus, for now, but also destroy the economy and millions of people's lives. At this point, I'm thinking that Sweden's approach may be the best: no lockdown, continue as normal, and accept the small percentage of deaths.

I narrow that down more to the selfish American...as far as rowing the boat in the same direction, I think Canada has done a much better job than the USA.

Look at UK, France, Spain , Portugal .. it is like wildfire... Canada has done god job so far. I still support 3 months lock down as we don't want to be in European countries. Please look at how UK is ruling everything back.

Things haven't gone well for Sweden. Sweden has way more total deaths than their 3 Nordic neighbours combined. While Sweden has a 50% larger population than the 3 of them combined. And Sweden is no better off economically. Clearly lockdowns were the superior choice.

Nothing is clear, right now. There will be a 3rd, 4th, nth wave, with ever increasing new highs of cases, corresponding lockdowns and economic destructions.

I'd like to see the gov & police do that here & in the USA, etc.

They couldn't get away with it but his point is valid. The fact that Canadians are more respectful of authority and the concept of the greater good (being polite LOL) than Americans accounts for a great degree of the better response that we've had in Canada than they've had to the south of us.
