It's not really alternate universe stuff though. No, we don't know exactly how things would have gone, but the whole world was going through this at relatively the same time (as China BS'd their stats so we couldn't rely on them) and we had very good modelling on how things would likely go based on measures taken.
I mean please tell me you at least saw what happened in countries that were ill-prepared, like Italy and Spain? Fuzz mentioned that it's a fine line. You shut everything down for a few weeks and even then a couple non-compliant areas can invoke chaos and mass death, while a hair the other way and everything works out okay.
