Can a country carry 1,000,000 COVID sick persons overwhelming the health care system in, say, one or two months?
The answer is NO, and that is why the economy is falling. Governments cannot just wait and see, and hope.
This COVID is nasty because one remains contagious for say one month, with or without symptoms, and many are contagious without showing evident symptoms. This causes very efficient propagation in the population.
Without social distancing and lockdown, in 1 month the hospital capacity of any country is overwhelmed, and people dies at home without even be counted (This happened in many areas of Italy and Spain, to mention two European countries. There are small towns in Northern Italy where the majority of elders disappeared, even before the alarm was raised at national level)

Think I may not hv stated clearly....
First we need strict lockdown rules to control spread of covid-19 when there is no drug to cure...this is obvious...
When we followed hygiene rules and when there is cure means to say there will be available drugs to cure covid-19 then this covid-19 will be a mild flu...
Of course proven vaccine will be best option but I will not rush to inject when is newly available...
what happened now is the whole world is suffering pandemics due to unknown covid-19 and no cure yet...so what happened next may be long wait so nothing much we can do...
I can forget about visiting Batam and Balai for 2020...
