Enact an enforced lockdown. After then, we can all go back to normality.
This doesn't have to go on for six months or longer, it can be done in eight weeks. The problem is that we have never had an enforced lockdown. Advisory and recommended advice can be ignored and has been.
Successful enforced lockdowns were non advisory, with arrivals tested and quarantined.
I was in China from January 14th to March 4th 2020. The eight week enforced lockdown that they and other countries in the region enacted, stopped the virus in its tracks.
In those countries like South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Taiwan and many others; people are back to work, businesses are open and most areas are free of masks and solical distancing measures.
Experiencing both types of lockdown, it is plainly obvious that our advisory lockdown measures have not worked.
