This is a horrible experiment in two countries on the similar line of latitude in the Southern Hemisphere with similar levels of Gini coefficient. Brazil. Population 210 m. No lockdown. A president actively promoting the myth that this is just the sniffles. Median age 31. GDP per capita $10k Death toll 1000 South Africa. Population 60 m. Full lockdown ruthlessly enforced. A president taking the entire country into his confidence on the seriousness. Median age 27. GDP per capita $6k Death toll 24. Anybody needs more proof?
A horrible experiment in Covid 19
