@BADecker this one's a bit controversial because right after she gave that statement, WHO made her change it in less than 24 hours, so I’m not sure which statement are people suppose to believe in, her first statement or her second statement with added clarifications. Furthermore now WHO is claiming that Corona could be airborne too, and they’ll be presenting evidence to prove this, and what’s amusing is that they had denied corona could be airborne in March. Lastly if they continue changing their statements then soon people will stop trusting them, and therefore I hope that they’ll be more careful with their statements from now on.

While I understand that we are in uncharted territory the fact that the most prestigious organization that is supposed to take care of these issues shows these kind of contradictions diminishes the trust the public has in the institution and only creates confusion in a time in which any confusion could cost lives.


^^^ So, lockdown and quarantine the sick ones who have the symptoms. Don't lockdown and quarantine the rest of the world.

Cool
Actually in my country if you test positive for COVID and you go out of your home you could be sentenced to spend some time in jail so I'll not be surprised if this eventually gets implemented around the world.
