    Hi,

    So the plan globally so far is to use military and police to lockdown the population so the time/cases curve is flattened.

    The idea being we can keep critical cases near our capacity so they don't die.

    The state of Western Australia, having around 500 free places of such description, will need to keep critical cases at or below 500 to prevent deaths due to undersupply.

    This seems like it will take decades until 60% of us have had it and we develop herd immunity.

    Seems like there are two options:

    1. Go about society as normal, approx 70 million global deaths

    2. Lock everything down, potentially for years or decades until we develop herd immunity or hopefully develop a vaccine.

    If we still haven't found one after 12 months no amount of money printing is going to help.

    Will we cease the lockdown if millions are dying from poverty in a year plus's time?

    We are re-assessing our lockdown in 7 days and hopefully beginning the process of resuming our lives.

    Option 3: avoid public spaces and interpersonal interaction, wear a gasmask when interaction is unavoidable. Forever.
