Belarus imposed essentially no socially distancing measures at all, and its death rate is far below that of any Western country.
And today, WHO let the truth slip:
Asymptomatic spread of coronavirus is ‘very rare,’ WHO says
Government responses should focus on detecting and isolating infected people with symptoms, and tracking anyone who might have come into contact with them, Van Kerkhove said. She acknowledged that some studies have indicated asymptomatic or presymptomatic spread in nursing homes and in household settings.
Which, of course, explains
why the lockdowns are ineffective; the virus is spread mostly between people who live together.
“What we really want to be focused on is following the symptomatic cases,” Van Kerkhove said. “If we actually followed all of the symptomatic cases, isolated those cases, followed the contacts and quarantined those contacts, we would drastically reduce” the outbreak.
