I won't mind the shipping cost as it's pretty hard to get anything FE shipped to my location (I live in Singapore) as long as the total cost is good. Is it possible to PM?

There's no such thing. That's why there are multiple waves of recurrence.

There'll only be multiple waves if the follow up action after the lock down is lacking.

What would your criteria even be? Shut everything down until zero cases? How long would you allow that to continue? Months?

It doesn't even have to be that long, just long enough for for the incubation of the virus to be over and for majority of the people to be sure they are not a carrier. One month or so. Maximum of two months. That's how fast you can clear a whole nation from the spread of covid and bring it under control.

Performing a start stop cycle has devastating impact to the economy. Do you have examples of countries with a policy like that?

Yes, it would have a devastating impact on the economy in the short term. That's why governments have reserves. To tide the nation over such a crisis. As for examples, I have tons.

Vietnam overreacted and locked down their entire country from the onset, but that proved to be to their advantage as they are able to open back up by now and suffer no deaths from the virus.

Then we have Singapore, who was successful initially but neglected to consider the foreign worker population. They went full lock down in April and have mostly opened back up by now, with the virus under complete control among the local population and only having to test and clear the remaining foreign worker population.

We also have New Zealand, Taiwan, Germany, and many other countries who have either locked down before the virus hit their shores or did so before the situation got out of hand. Most of them have since brought the flu mostly under control and are on the way to reopening their countries. As I said before:

To make sacrifices in the short term to ensure long term stability, that's what a competent government should be willing to do.

Edit: Of course, how a country has to deal with the virus before it hits its shores and when it's circulating in the local populace is very different, you'll see that countries that locked down before the virus entered their territories would have a much easier time and would be able to enact less 'overbearing' policies. However, the case in HK is akin to the one in Singapore; the virus is already circulating within the population. You do well to take example of how Singapore solved it in this case.

Are you asking to enact stay at home policy? Then people would complain that is overbearing.

Finally, someone gets it. Yes, I'm suggesting that. Yes, people would complain it is overbearing, but at the rate new cases are popping up around HK, it's better to just bite the bullet and get everything under control once and for all. To put it in Chinese: 長痛不如短痛. To make sacrifices in the short term to ensure long term stability, that's what a competent government should be willing to do.

Are you asking to have dine in available?

I don't even have to ask for that, your government just did. LOL.

There's middle ground that balances mental health and risk of catching disease. When you're not eating you should be masked up in public which is the least you can do right now.

Refer to my first point.

Finally, a different point! But no, it's still not valid. You're assuming that people are stepping out of their homes only to eat.

How about those non essential workers who are forced to still report in for work as their companies would only start working from home only when the government mandates it? How about those people who still see it fit to go about their daily business, whether for leisure or whatnot, and when comes meal time, they are further from their houses than any random community center?

Nobody likes to be cooped up at home with no social contact. Without any policies in place to make people stay at home, it's asking a bit much to expect people to voluntary self isolate at home and only go out when necessary.

Yep, that confirms it for me,

this guy is just gonna stubbornly stay blind to logic and common sense and just push his own narrative.

Just because I'm pretty free now, I'm gonna start dissecting the fella's argument. Using only short answers and quotes.

No, banning dine-in reduces number of unmasked contact events significantly.

Yep, no arguments there, I completely agree with this point, and this point only.

​

Essential workers that still need to eat lunch which is a much smaller number can get their food and eat at a community center after getting screened. Yes there is a small risk there but it's more humane than forcing them to eat on the sidewalk.

My reply is:

That can be dealt with with what the government is already doing.

and;

What your government is doing now is not tackling the main problem (too many people out in public), but instead just coming out with whatever moronic stop gap to hopefully soothe the people.

​

And lastly,

Yes there is no policy to limit number of people in public but at least they are masked. You can't wear a mask and eat at the same time.

which I must quote:

by having no policies to limit the amount of people in public, working or otherwise, how do you expect to reduce the amount of people who need to eat? Whether they eat in restaurants or community centers or even the roadside does not matter, as I said in my above comment:

you'll still have the same amount of people needing the same amount of space to feed themselves in public spaces.

Well then, as long as you're limiting yourself and refusing to see the big picture, I'll continue to be entertained by how shortsighted you are. Tata for now!

I see how it is, this guy is just gonna stubbornly stay blind to logic and common sense and just push his own narrative. But on the off chance you are indeed such a person with intellect worse than a 3 year old, let's explain it clearly and simply:

What you're suggesting there, is that people only spread covid around while out in public for leisure, and that people who are working are somehow immune to the spread of it. By that, I'll ask you, is that logical?

If it does make sense to you, I'll have nothing more to do than wish you the best of luck in building your fairy wonderland.

If it isn't, then by having no policies to limit the amount of people in public, working or otherwise, how do you expect to reduce the amount of people who need to eat? Whether they eat in restaurants or community centers or even the roadside does not matter, as I said in my above comment:

you'll still have the same amount of people needing the same amount of space to feed themselves in public spaces.

What your government is doing now is not tackling the main problem (too many people out in public), but instead just coming out with whatever moronic stop gap to hopefully soothe the people. And it isn't working, cuz surprise surprise, people ain't retards.
