Subject: RE: BS: cruise ships (as vector of Coronavirus)
If the Chinese are successful with their lock down approach it must mean that the virus has stopped from spreading in their country. Enforce lock down for long enough and the virus may die out in that country. But it won't have died out abroad. What happens if someone unwittingly brings it back into China?
In Italy it seems that the virus has evaded containment. It has got out to the general population and eventually everyone will get it. The immune, curable and non-susceptible will survive and the virus will take it's place alongside lots of other viruses as nothing special.
Which approach is really best? It's tough on those who die and their loved ones but, sorry, we all die sooner or later.
