Here is an article, directed at the Corona Virus, that describes the effects of Social Distancing in containing and quite often, reversing the growth rate of a virus.

Coronavirus: Why You Must Act Now

I cannot attest to the data that is presented on the Corona Virus and its accuracy therein. But isolation of the public can have an enormous effect on the virus, as you can imagine. Good information that might help in the future as these viral items progress. Haiku …

Hi Haiku,
There is already an ongoing thread on Coronavirus which is very long. Woudn't be beter to post on that thread?

Just my thought

Yes, it does seem to be very alarmist. It's focusing on the number of people who 'test positive' rather than those who die. I've often wondered, too, how accurate are the tests? Are they specific to COVID-19?

Also, when it comes to figures and statistics often a person has to look deeper into the numbers presented. What is the death rate? It's a percentage of people who get the disease. How do we know they had the disease? Because they were tested. So in countries where testing is very numerous, the percentage death rate will be small. And in countries where testing isn't done, or only done on the very sick, the mortality looks very bad. In South Korea they're obviously testing a large number of people (maybe even everyone?) so the percentage of people who die from it compared to the number of people infected is going to be much smaller. There's no magic to it.

Sooo.... in countries where only people who die, or get very, very sick, or are admitted to hospital, get tested, that's going to inflate the mortality percentage.... (they were more likely to die anyway). This is because the people who weren't tested, who recovered, or who didn't even know they had the virus are not being counted!

This is something the vaccine industry does, only in reverse.
