What's the point of giving people a few hours' notice before you lock them down?
Just another pat on the back for the command center.

Jessica Gonzalez said:Maybe if you look at the numbers, Vietnam has nearly 100 million people, and fewer than 6 million of them are over the age of 65. On the other hand, Italy has about 60 million residents, but over 13 million are seniors. In a place like Vietnam, even if some people get sick, the population recovers quickly through growth, whereas in Italy, the population would likely shrink by over 200,000 this year alone due to natural causes, even without the virus. I guess what we're seeing is just a sudden shock from a new virus—which is mostly harmless to young people—hitting a population that is heavily weighted toward the elderly. There isn't really a way around that, other than isolating the seniors or finding ways to protect them. The high number of elderly citizens is really just a byproduct of how much living standards have improved over the last century, but today, that same progress is why the death toll from COVID looks so high.
