I never understood the idea of locking people inside. You can’t hide from a virus. When it is in your area, the wave will hit you. It is inevitable.
Getting a message out for increased hand hygiene and hand awareness can absolutely slow the spread - which is all you could really do. Anyone who thinks you can prevent it is delirious.

Their theory was that we could lockdown long enough to develop and distribute a vaccine which would then artificially provide herd immunity.
But that is a completely unproven and untested approach, one that has never been tried (let alone accomplished) in the history of the planet.
It is just an insane type of gamble when we already have a well-known, well-documented and well-understood solution via natural herd immunity.
That approach would only make sense if it was literally a Black Plague event.
Exactly right. I mean if this was an airborne version of Ebola then I would fucking be in a hazmat suit before I left my bedroom.
Yep and viruses had no trouble spreading worldwide when the population was less than 1/20th of what it is now.
