So the current theory goes, according to international media, that COVID-19 started somewhere in China, most likely in Wuhan, then quickly spread due to it's contagious nature, and is now a worldwide epidemic. According to international media outlets, all the world has to do is "Stay-at-Home" for 30+ days to stop the spread of the virus. Right...
Let's put this in perspective for a moment; COVID is so contagious, that just a handful of infected people from a small province in China infected the entire world in mere months, so are we to believe that once the stay at home orders are lifted, it'll be business as usual? All it will take is one asymptomatic person with COVID-19 to restart this pandemic all over and yet, nobody is talking about this?! Why are our world leaders not planning for a second bout, not even acknowledging this obvious issue? Am I missing something here?
Another concern of mine is the COVID-19 recovery rate. It is under reported and under investigated, but estimated to be very high, about 98% because scientists acknowledge the number of reported COVID-19 cases is eclipsed by the amount of cases unreported dropping the mortality rate somewhere around 1.5%. So why is the media so fixated on focusing exclusively on the death rates of COVID-19, on promoting fear-mongering as opposed to espousing that the disease might not be as bad as feared? It will be interesting to see what comes out of Sweden's decision to not enforce a 'Stay-at-Home' policy.
Overall, it feels like monkeys all running their countries in circles without a clue what to do. H1N1 was even more contagious and had a mortality rate of 1%, just 0.5% less than COVID-19, but you didn't see the entire world reacting! IDK, it feels like when the fire alarm goes off and everyone falls in line for the test.
