Targeted lockdowns of China worked so well.
If you only lock down certain areas then the people in those areas will leave. Much like Europeans flocked to North America after hearing travel would be restricted.
People flocked to other areas before anything was even known about the virus. They didn’t practice any kind of mitigation and distancing. I’m not at all against the initial stay at home orders. But at some point life needs to go on. People need to return to work, practicing the proper protocols. You can’t wait for a vaccine. There may NEVER be a vaccine. And SCIENCE tells us that relatively health people have a very tiny chance of dying. In some cases, statistically zero. Thankfully most countries, provinces, states have realized that. Phased in openings are happening regardless of the continued alarmists.
