Reality recognized: Austria locks down for 20 days.

Lesson: Waiting till action is forced is the worst and hardest way. Faster is better and easier. Image
Just like with a fire, this includes economic damage.

Often partial action leads to recognition it is not enough and then stronger action is taken.

Partial action is almost as hard as full action, but has much less benefit.

Just like a fire.
