The first covid-19 outbreak took countries by surprise. Now that governments have had time to study the pandemic, they can enact measures that are both realistic and effective

exhausted but the covid-19 pandemic is barely getting started. Six months after Chinese scientists notified the World Health Organisation of a new virus that caused deadly pneumonia, covid-19—as the disease was later dubbed—has spread to almost every country around the world and killed more than 500,000 people. In London, Madrid and New York deaths this year have been more than twice what they usually are in the same months.

Whether countries that have got a grip on covid-19 experience new waves of the disease will depend on how people behave and how quickly authorities can detect an increase in cases, says Andrea Ammon of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control . If authorities can quickly identify new outbreaks, they will be better able to prevent them from spreading. That means any restrictions imposed in response can be more limited.

But the places that did best in the first months of the pandemic are those that never stopped contact-tracing, says David Heymann of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. They include countries as varied as South Korea, Denmark, Germany, Vietnam, Uruguay and Rwanda.

The process of tracing the contacts of those infected with covid-19 has been less smooth in Europe and America. As a result, other measures to curb transmission are even more vital. These include encouraging people to wear face-masks and keep their distance from others . Turning these things into social norms, however, has been tricky for a variety of reasons. For one, the official advice on masks in America and Britain, among other countries, changed over time.

But in many countries, including America, Brazil, Russia and Iran, politicians have lost the trust of their people by contradicting their experts on basic facts about the pandemic, publishing implausible numbers on covid deaths or propagating conspiracy theories.

The WHO lies and deception took the world by surprise and they should never be trusted again. They lied and continued to lie scientifically!

Can but won’t. 🤬

What happens is: you've created a society where someone can become multimillionaire (or a public figute) while being an easily offended infantile 'tender soul' personality .... All this 'offences' are such a bullshit indeed

Nobody has isolated the virus. Post mortems find no trace of it. You can stop hoaxing now. It's over.

No, I would prefer to go back to normal and live with something that has a 99.98% recovery rate.

hahahah realistic? effective?

No lockdowns.

Fact

The public will never trust the government that only report what they what you to think. By testing 40 million people in the US, the numbers seem to spike. But pay attention to the percentages of positives vs number tested. Percentages again. Also, hospitalization COVID%.

Well, unless you live in a country divided into 50 parts, all engaged in game theory, and the national government is content with that arrangement. In that situation the weakest links frustrate sound policies implemented elsewhere. I'm just speaking hypothetically here.

except the government of one country

All except the USA

Unless you live in the USA.

Aha, is never too late!
