Just a thought

Wouldn't it be cheaper for governments worldwide to give their citizens cheaply made bio hazard suits to wear when they are in public places than to put their country into lockdown? No? 

That is what I would do if I was the government, I would find a cheap way to get everyone a bio hazard suit and put hoses on the street to shower people and wash away virus particles before they take the suits off. Or the suits could be covered in an acidic gel or alcohol solution. 

The head section would be rigid and have holes in it to allow them to breathe but the holes would be away from their mouth. I put the holes in the top in the diagram as a joke because the shower would wet their head. In the real suit then holes would be at the back away from their mouth. Did I mention that no one laughs at my jokes? 

Judging by the number of infections, I think we will need a bio hazard suit for everyone because the virus can mutate and it is very similar to SARS, I remember that the mortality rate of SARS was 10%. That means it kills one in ten people that are infected. If 100 people were infected with SARS 10 will die, not a nice thought, Covid19 is almost identical to SARS. It wouldn't take much for a new strain to emerge that is equally leathal as SARS, just a slight mutation in the RNA sequence. 

Be Prepared I say.
