Interesting - so just a twist on this - say on day 1 with 10 cases we shut everything down.
a month later - it is basically gone. then the revisionists could say we did it for nothing.
Somewhere in week two this was predicted - that there was no real reason. except we saw what
happened in italy, their active case load peaked in ~5 weeks. We are 8 weeks in, and active cases
has not peaked. So yes, we are controlling the spread.
Was it worth it? Did/are we saving people? Different discussion, but what we are doing had the intended result.
Italy's deaths per 1M is more than twice that of USA, even tho we have more cases per 1M.

Didn't they basically do this in New Zealand?
