45 days, that's half of the prediction for not doing anything at all. Total lock down shouldn't be longer than 2 weeks to peak (for the incubation period to run its course)
Big world, lots of different strategies. We'll know in a month which was the most successful, what was overkill and what was too little.
France is in total lock down, you need a special form to go outside.
Israel urges its citizens to remain home and go out only for “vital needs and services”. Shopping for food is allowed only if no delvery option is available. Parks, beaches and malls will be off-limits. People will be allowed to exercise outdoors for 10 minutes if nobody is nearby
Austria Vienna Airport’s traffic at bare minimum
rail transport down 70%
Restrictions already in place include:
- gatherings of more than five people are banned
- people are urged to self-isolate
- schools and shops selling non-essential goods are closed
- borders with Italy and Switzerland are closed
- no restrictions in place along the border with Germany which has, however, introduced its own border controls
- visitors from Britain, the Netherlands, Russia and Ukraine can enter only under certain conditions
Most other countries are closing schools, closing restaurants and banning gatherings over 50 people.
Some do less. Holland for example is keeping schools and day cares open for children of people with essential jobs. (From healthcare, to police, stores, transport, media, government). Probably not smart to have these people infecting each other through schools and day cares, just my 2 cents...
The world as a giant beta test for what to do after the initial wave is slowed down :/
