There is a few things I would like to point out regarding the current Covid-19 situation.
The result is that now only 3 weeks after the the restrictions was put in effect, we are starting to see a decline in the number of people hospitalized and killed by the virus. At no point have the number of people hospitalized with Covid-19 been higher than approximately 25% of our healthcare systems capacity.
Now some people have started questioning if our government did too much too soon. No matter what you do, some will always complain
NB.
While social distancing is an important tool in the current situation, it's also very important to remember to boost your immune system by staying generally healthy both physically and mentally, as it is very likely that you will be exposed to the virus at some point no matter what you do (if you want to live something reminiscent a normal life within the next year and a half). So remember to keep your distance to other people, but get out of the house to get some fresh air, some exercise (walking, running, cycling) and do stuff that makes you happy.
- We are past the point where stopping the virus is an option.
- All the restrictions put in place is only to slow down the spreading, to give the healthcare system a chance to keep up.
- How much we need to slow the spreading depend more than anything on the capacity of the local/national healthcare system - this is also why different countries/states apply different levels of restrictions.
- Every government tries to find the balance between speed of spreading and the economical downsides connected to the implemented restrictions.
- If the implemented restrictions is too strict, the spreading is slowed down too much - we need the Covid-19 epidemic to run its course (at a pace where the healthcare system can keep up) and for the population to reach herd immunity before this thing is over.
