Do #lockdown, #mask#ventilate work?
Why it seems not in some places?
Of course, they all work.
My analogy is with #football, there are rich teams, highly paid players... but the win belongs to the team has the best strategy, take any chance they have and minimised all flaws.
Ask governments: how many daily local cases can you control without a lockdown?
Study their answers or simply follow the news.
Hint: They are very different. So are lockdowns.
Germany at 200 per 100K or 1:500, others when they have been cornered at 1000+
For even Germany: risky
Vietnam lockdown at case number 202. Order mask mandatory at case 50.
It lasts for 3 weeks. No limit who and how many times to go out.
Just not hanging around.
They lockdown Anytime #TTI getting complicated, cases without link to known cases.
Any #lockdown only reach its target if conditions met.
Compliance
Perfection of plan for lockdown
Assumption met.
Like: at least 99% wore mask when go out AND no big gathering for any reason.
So success in Vietnam lockdown means many things: stability, compliance, communication

Why any new strain of #SARSCoV2 isn't on headline of #Vietnam media continuously like the way it is on Western media?
👉#Vietnam prepared for even #SARSCoV3
It's hard for new strain first found in UK to even infect their well-protected passengers during 15 hours flight from UK
The pictures with positive pressure tiny room is how they safely bring back home more than 200 Vietnamese workers from Equatorial Guinea with more than a half suspected to be with Covid in August.
More pictures before boarding.
No flight attendants or escorting HCW get infected
The purpose of "control" in Europe is totally different from "prevent and control" as in #Vietnam
In Europe, it is about guarantee beds/ICUs for Covid patients in hospitals.
So when Germany or France ordered #lockdown.. that is unavoidable as healthcare system may collapse soon
What's the lockdown like if daily cases = 1000 per 100K or 1:100:
Europe doesn't intend to hospitalise infected people.
Many people would likely share the household with an infected person (tested or not). And they still go out for foods, maybe schools and protests, parties
In such a situation, without a lockdown, the chance of exposures to infected people is much higher.
But it's not much different if lockdown at 1:100
So Germany lockdown at 1:500 or 200 per 100K.
The hospital beds could expand but at 1:100 or 1:500 your HCW was eliminated at home
