So, cops hit you just because you was in public during quarantine? Wow, this is way too much. Ok, it's lockdown, but police can't hit people on streets without any reason. People still need to to buy food or go to work. Most of us don't go out of home without important reason.
I think that complete lockdown isn't solutiom, despite pandemy. Obviously, shops most continue to work. And I think that most factories also should work, with all precautions obviously. Otherwise huge recession will begin. This pandemy already hurts economy a lot.
Heh, i wonder where is that nice country you live in that society expects cops NOT to hit people, be thankful they are not shot on the spot. If anything, the cop would be endangering himself by getting close to a possible diseased...
If you
have to go out you have to do it alone, and keep your distance from others at all times. It would be good if you had gloves and a mask, but there are simply not enough of them. Only reason to go out is to procure food or medicine (if no delivery is available); no socializing, no getting close to others for no reason.
If you fail to abide or your country fails to make people comply, the virus spreads and the situation lasts longer.
In this state of emergency, any "rights" you may feel to have, are suspended. This is exactly what people feel when their gov is ousted by a military junta or such, it is a nice experience for some of you to experience this first hand. And the surviving is also part of the experience, but usually it means hiding from people's bullets, not an invisible virus.
China stopped it because they implemented strong measures like this, after the local gov failed the central gov acted. Other countries were more lax, and are now paying the consequences.
Current top 10 countries by deaths:
- Italy 6820
- Spain 3445
- China 3281
- Iran 2206
- France 1100
- United States 804
- United Kingdom 422
- Netherlands 357
- Germany 181
- Belgium 178
As you can see it is running rampant in hyper connected Europe, its also thriving in the USA.
Also there is a reason the richer countries got it faster: people there actually have money to travel. This very simple fact is ignored by some. Of course, they also had more money for tourism, or simply more business. When was the last time you wanted to visit a poor country? Ever been to Haiti? And guess what, an average Haitian could never afford a plane ticket in the first place.
Does it mean the poor countries won't get it? Actually, they don't even have health care in many cases, not only are they getting it (late but getting it), they can easily overcome the top 10 countries. And act as recurring source of the virus worldwide.
