I especially love the alternative to their declaration "lockdown [...] measures in place until a vaccine is available". Point me to a single credible scientist who suggested that... It's not either we sit on our couch and wait for a vaccine,or we all go out and get infected (while "protecting the vulnerable" - which, of course, also doesn't work).
