Except for every time you hit the brakes, they heat up and stop working after some time.
There are significant economic impacts of the measures countries are taking, and the reality is people will only put up with quarantine so long. I think it makes sense to spend some time looking at the evidence because shutting everything down has significant negative impacts, both economically, and potentially with the spread of the virus if people give up on quarantine too soon. Given the evidence I have seen current measures make sense (at least in Ontario) but saying that we should just follow our survival instincts seems wrong, especially when everything is so distorted by the media.
