I listened to a professional epidemiologist who said that a total lock down is straight wrong. One should have isolated vulnerable and elderly people, also from their families, but keep schools, offices, plants open in order to bring at least 60% of healthy people in contact with the virus. Because when the second wave comes this Autumn, and it will, all these people will have antibodies to suppress it. A total lock down guarantees nothing but a large second wave. Spanish flu's second wave was far worse than the first one. -- Regards, Dmitry A. Kazakov http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de
