If I thought lockdown will work I would be all for it. But it wont, it didn't the first time. It's just postponing the inevitable for some people whilst making everyone's life intolerable. Whilst ever they allow people to leave their homes at all, and allow any travel between countries then it doesn't matter how low the r number drops it will always increase the minute the restrictions are lifted. As I said in March the only solution would be to go into a situation where everyone is forced to remain in their own house for a month with no exit, nurses and hospital staff to remain onsite, the army or police to deliver food to households in hazmat suits, it would have to be worldwide. We are going to have to accept covid is here, there will probably be no miracle vaccine or cure, in the same vein as the flu as no REAL vaccine or cure. Yes I know that is comparing it to flu which will upset the covidista but it's odd that flu deaths are way down this year... its nature something will always come along and cull populations, hate to say it but modern medicine does too good a job at keeping people who have reached the end of their natural lives, alive, and then we get upset when nature comes along with a new way of thwarting the effort.
