Yes, but it's a failure of imagination to assume that a strict lockdown is the only measure that would be part of aggressively addressing the problem.



You are putting words in my mouth. I was responding to an accusation that we didn't act strictly enough back in March.

I agree we know much more about the virus now and should be tailoring our mitigation efforts accordingly.

I would say that in general we are failing on that front however.


I have not put words in your mouth, I've questioned your interpretation of the comment you replied to. You stick to that interpretation here, because they didn't say anything about 'strictly enough', they said we didn't aggressively address the situation, and we didn't.

The 'lockdown' such as it was, was a significant measure, but it apparently was also in many minds all we needed to do.
