Watch the video bellow:
Czech Republic has 10 million population, same as Belgium, Belgium has 1,283 deaths, Czech Republic has 56 deaths.
Face Masks should/will become mandatory worldwide till a vaccine is developed, the sooner countries start enforcing it as a law, the better.
South Korea and other east Asian countries where almost everybody are wearing masks have the outbreak under control without lock-downs!
It's not rocket science! The virus is being spread from breathing and talking, face masks will not be 100% effective, but when everybody wear it, those who have the virus will infect much less and automatically those who don't have the virus will not catch the virus simply because the distribution of the virus is much less and they are being protected from their own masks.
My advise to the Governments all the way down to local municipalities, start local mass production of face masks and distribute them, make it a law, fine people who are not wearing masks, it should not be a personal option, it should be mandatory.
Everybody wearing masks will stop community spread and reduce it to domestic spread, testing, contact tracing and isolation will be much easier and effective, same as South Korea.
There should also be mass awareness campaign involving TV stations and Social Media about why and how to wear the masks.
By the way, read this https://www.thelocal.de/20200402/ho...ers-on-coronavirus-in-countrys-worst-hit-spot and stop the hygiene hysteria, as long as everybody blocks his mouth and nose (many people are doing it wrong, they wear a mask but only cover their mouth, again awareness campaign is a must), surface contamination will also be reduced to very very low levels by the masks.
One last thing, i am not saying lets wear masks and go back to normal life, there won't be normal life as long as the virus is out there with no treatment or vaccine, masks + social distancing + more testing + contact tracing and isolation = You contain the spread of the virus and control it like South Korea instead of letting the virus transform freely from one person to another

Please for the love of god can people stop staying "we should have copied the Korean approach to Corona virus containment" , their general approach to hygiene AND historical willingness to comply regulations that we would consider draconian has contributed to their numbers. Their health system is totally different. Might as well say "we should all just live like South Koreans" - one of the most depressingly regressive modern societies globally for the treatment of women and foreigners, by the way

Many thanks.
Are people actually saying that?
Stupid if so. The Asian countries have a very deeply ingrained culture of keeping distance and mask wearing. They were on top of the outbreak without trying to be in many ways.
That said, we could and should have done a lot better earlier on when it became clear what this is.

This bit definitely true.
Herd immunity requires a vaccine otherwise it's just letting a lot of people die in order to speed up natural immunisation.
Well said, this and the post above actually made me question democracy for a few minutes. Are we really only one crisis away from enforced human experiments in some peoples eyes?

We are ALWAYS one crisis away from Hitler due to human nature.
The fact that we have Trump and Boris Johnson now indicates that the magnitude of the necessary crisis is less than usual at the moment.
Friend has just told me he went for a run in Greenwich for his daily exercise, there were apparently loads of people sitting in the park. Police telling them to move and they started pretending to be exercising.

Know a guy that lives in the Lakes and he was complaining yesterday that he's been housebound for two weeks or so. He clearly forgot that his Strava feed is open so the lengthy bike rides and stuff he goes on can be clearly seen. He went for a 5 hour run yesterday ffs!
