Reply #11: Let me see, we have no reports of deaths today...

[nadinbrzezinski]

and if the infection rate starts to crash, yes it works... and people who have a far better idea than you do in these matters, you know they have masters and PhDs in this quaint science called epidemiology, a sub-class of public health, have found that well it works

By the way, you are comparing apples and oranges

HIV was modeled on TB... but we never went there since it is far less infectious than even TB ever was. (And here is a piece of trivia, if you are a non compliant TB patient, to this day federal and state authorities can order you quarantined... and there are very valid reasons too)

But Pandemics do require that some measures be taken

Oh and in case you wonder some nations DID quarantine HIV patients, Cuba comes to mind... and it was a good lab that proved that in that case it didn't work

But in things like this... it works

In fact, they are doing it right now, as I type. See quite a few million staid home today... it is called home bound quarantine... and it might help break the cycle... we will know in five to ten days

Oh and Troops are ALREADY in the streets doing public health work like oh distributing masks and manning wash stations... where else have I seen that? Oh yes, them pesky history books... see 1918 epidemic and US History
