Why are other countries facing a higher % of the population with the virus? https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

Again, do you want to be told how things spread over time and location?

Please do. Please share how countries with a higher % of the population carrying the virus can be seen as doing the 'right' thing compared to a country with a lower %. Thanks.

Some patients who recovered from Covid-19 have suffered reduced lung function and now experience problems such as gasping for air when walking quickly, Hong Kong’s Hospital Authority has revealed.
The authority released its findings on Thursday after observing the first group of discharged coronavirus patients.
The city has so far recorded 131 confirmed cases of Covid-19, including three fatalities. Of them, 74 patients have been discharged while one probable case has also recovered.
Dr Owen Tsang Tak-yin, medical director of the authority’s Infectious Disease Centre at Princess Margaret Hospital in Kwai Chung, said doctors had already seen around a dozen discharged patients in follow-up appointments. Two to three were unable to do things as they had in the past.
“They gasp if they walk a bit more quickly,” Tsang told a media briefing on Thursday. “Some patients might have around a drop of 20 to 30 per cent in lung function [after recovery].”
Tsang, who also heads an authority task force on the clinical management of infection, said these patients would undergo tests to determine how much lung function they still had. Physiotherapy would also be arranged to strengthen their lungs.
A review of lung scans of nine infected patients at Princess Margaret found patterns similar to frosted glass in all of them, suggesting there was organ damage.
But Tsang said the long-term effect on recovered patients, such as whether they would develop pulmonary fibrosis, a condition where lung tissue hardened and the organ could not function properly, had yet to be ascertained.
Those who continue to believe this is only a flu, think again.

As much as anyone can be an expert on this, and to be fair I would prefer them to do that than a bunch of politicians just decide to do what they think is best.

I don't get the closing down of universities. The majority of students live in halls or shared housing and are rather promiscuous so it seems pointless.
How do we expect school children to be looked after for weeks by working parents?
The obvious answer to this is to tell people in the danger zones to stay indoors and avoid contact with the young.

I’m not sure common flu does the same damage. I’ll be worried after going through 2 dozens flu or more in my entire life.

So you've offered a repetitive video of a cuddly monkey rather than a refutation of my opinion. Is that how you win all your arguments?

There are not enough test kits beds health professionals. All the Government is doing is hoping to push this virus past traditional flu season. Then the death rate won't look as bad if they were happening now, it will be presented in nice little graph, Corporal Jones will repeat said graph to ad nauseam levels.

Again (and apologies for repeating myself) how are the measures they announced yesterday going to do that?
It seems they are actively trying to get as many people infected as possible so that it goes away quicker and causes less economic damage.

It does, just immunization and immunity is much higher with flu in the populace. I've had flu once some years back it was nasty, reading the symptoms of this virus for a healthy person appears to be milder than flu.
