Then we go back to the point I was trying to make.People have to live their lifes.Take the necessary measures, but nothing more can be done about it without a vaccine or a cure.

By that time we'll see what "have to live their lives" will mean. Just going back to what it was before, without a vaccine, will just start this whole mess back up again. Hence I'm curious to know what the necessary measures are atm in China.

China is basically on lockdown still, with the full weight of the authoritarian government behind it and the promise, so far, things will be back to normal after another month. We'll see how that goes.

But when people have been locked in their homes for a month or two, probably depressed and running low on money, to take the risk of a 1% death rate disease will start to sound very, very tempting.

Even now you probably have at least a solid 20% of the population who would want no measures at all.
