So no matter how well they do locking down in the first place, there's this pressure just waiting to burst out at all times to get that first 20%. Of course the later you can have your initial blowup, the better the treatment and the more hospitals are prepared - so there's value in just not getting it over with.
The big question is if opening schools is going to give the virus a whole new fresh field to plow into beyond that first 20%. |
All across Europe they've had schools open for a while and don't have problems. I'm sure someone will cite the one in Israel where they did have problems, but if you read into that, they had teachers and students going to school symptomatic.
I don't think anyone would argue that wouldn't cause problems.
