But for those measures have to be timed properly for maximum effect and so they don't start coming undone just as the virus is peaking.
For example, school closures in Ireland back when the first case was detected in a school would demonstrably have been less effective than school closures now, because feck all of the cases since then would have been impacted. Yet people were still wrongly clamouring for school closures at that point, despite it repeatedly being pointed out that it was too early. All that would have done is hinder the overall attempt to reduce the viruses' peak and the same applies to every other measure. They need to happen at the right time.
They have to be done now. Otherwise were just reacting to the exponential spread. Why is the closing of museums, large social gatherings not necessary yet? Have you not seen Italian PM Conte addressing Italy that there would be no more gatherings, no more night life, etc and it was already too late. Their CFR is around 8% theres no such thing as timing it perfectly, we need to act now.
