So .. our govs knew what had to be done, but they chosed another way with massive communication from pfizer on all medias, so the population is ready for act 2, massive vaccination.
Seems like you have done half the job there.
How does that ends though ?
I don't understand what you're saying due to the grammar issues.
The ideal situation would be to lock down early, begin contact tracing and social distancing ASAP, have government replaced wages for a while to keep people in their houses. Then after a few weeks reopen with contact tracing, distancing, and individualized isolations to keep community spread from happening. Then mass vaccinate after the vaccine is available and fully open.
This reduces the spread of the virus which reduces opportunity for mutation, doesn't result in millions of evictions, and keeps the healthcare system from collapsing under the weight of the pandemic.
Instead we decided to stay relatively open, not do any coordinated contact tracing or local isolations, let community spread run only slightly impeded, and then vaccinate. Our healthcare system barely hung on thankfully, but we were only one step away from taking the worst possible answer lol
