A further case of someone on a forum believing they know more than scientists.
I am certain that, when all is said and done, the reaction to this virus will be said to have been incredibly over the top. That won't mean that it was wrong to respond as we are, you have to play it safe and you have to be prepared to be told you were wrong. If this reaction is proven to be wrong - there won't be any gloating from anyone, this is public health and people are dying. The reality is that we have to deal with the situation as it is, get the best scientists all over the world to do their work and this time next year we'll have full knowledge of what went on, why, and how it can be stopped in future.
I am hopeful that governments all across the world will have a safeguarding plan in place for the next virus which crops up. Nobody can say this is totally unexpected, Bill Gates spoke about it years ago (I only know because the video has done the rounds recently). You can't always predict what you're going to need, stockpiling ventilators, for example, might have been the wrong play. The world needs to learn the lessons. Ebola was a warning shot, Covid-19 is the plague.
