- John Edmunds, a professor at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, said the measures were unprecedented and “almost certainly unsustainable”. - Paul Hunter, a professor in medicine at the University of East Anglia, said the proposed lockdown would be “one of the most rigorous country-wide control measures implemented in the last 50 years”.
You have wait number of days to see results.
Is unsustainable in long run for sure as economic activity cannot be stopped for too long before people suffer differently
Short article that says the reason they HAD TO DO THIS is because they didn’t...or weren’t able to...TAKE ACTION SOON ENOUGH TO SLOW THE OUTBREAK!! USA has WASTED ORECIOUS TIME!!SOCIAL DISTANCE ALL YOU CAN as SOON AS YOU CAN!!
These scientists are clearly globalists who do not want this curve flattened. Absurd quotes in this article normonics warroompandemic
Hey kkelland & NickMacfie. Isn't this the entire point of the lockdowns?
Lockdown is ineffective but spreading the virus to the entire country would be counter to that.
This is irresponsible journalism. The article itself says it will delay the virus which is exactly the best-case scenario
What is Drake doing in Italy rn
The economic impact would be much higher much sooner if they did not at least attempt it. What are Reuters suggesting? Do nothing?
The whole point is to delay the pandemic/flatten the curve; which is what they all say it will do but sill seem to think it’s a bad idea. Odd
Of course. But, there are different factors for the time being.
Oy vey!...stop trying to not die and get back to work wagie
What’s he going to do shoot it?
Somebody paid for this post to be made like that. The political world is dirty. How can a post like that already existed within hours of the lockdown. Why not wait for the results of it. But I am sure I and most the world knlw what's going on with this post. shameful
😲
NovusOrdoWatch why isnt there an article about israel which totally locked down the country?
The results are not going to be seeing overnight. You need to give them time, they are doing what they need to do.
now backing antiscience wow All experts agree it needed to be done , considering the severity of the outbreak in the north why hurt italian credibility?
Millions are infected . The capital of modern history facing another collapse , might be the end of a great civilization 😥😥
you write about economic impact. you are more concerned about the economy
What would be more effective?
Containment hopefully, but at the very least delay.
Oh please. F* off
UE & USA should take lesson coronavirus

There seems to be a holding back of information about this virus. For example, no reports of it in the southern hemisphere. My friends there say it cannot survive the heat - but nothing about that reported. Will it die out in summer?
