Is this correct or is it flawed logic?

The sick should be in a hospital or isolated in a pandemic treatment center. If everyone else because it is questionable as to being infected right now worldwide stayed home for only 14 days the pandemic would be over.
The end.
True or False?
They will tell you it can't be done and this might be true. But why? Is it because the leaders of this world are either too stupid, too corrupt (money) or too afraid.
What about pandemic centers? Where? Is something missing?
_______________________________________________________
What they have been telling you is once a virus is not contained and out in the general population there is nothing much which can be done. Except of course social distancing, wearing a mask, washing hands, shutting down places of public gathering including business, schools, parks etc.
Trouble is lock downs cause other problems. Do we need to mention what they are? Don't think so.
So what happens now? Open back up and live in a world that is like a messed up laboratory. It will mean the pandemic will continue for a very long time.
Gowns, masks, face shields, rubber gloves are very useful in isolation rooms.
Isolation is what completely puts an end to pandemics. Will the world finally learn this or will it continue to talk about how they will live with them?

I don't know if we, the public, will ever agree on how the pandemic should be handled. Most people are trying to be as safe as possible while others don't seem to care. They don't wear masks and don't practice social distancing. They call it their human rights. Until a vaccine is available for everyone, I think we will have to learn to live with it. I don't think being on lockdown is helpful unless cases are out of control like they are in Florida and California. I think wearing masks and practicing social distancing is about all we can do that will help.

@mynameiskate I do agree with you that lockdown or isolation is the only way to at least try and keep the virus under control. True, being in isolation before didn't make it go away but the numbers did go down. On the other side of the coin, being in isolation will affect businesses again.

@simone10 It wasn't really isolation we had but an attempt to control the spread. You are right in order for isolation to work the complete world would need to be quarantined for a full two weeks at least.
In a strict quarantine not everyone cooperates so then travel restrictions have to be tight. That means if a country couldn't or wouldn't comply then its citizens are on a restricted list from entering another country which is covid-19 free without going into quarantine beforehand. That would apply to different regions inside a country, state, city, town, hospital etc.
It doesn't make sense to tell everyone to stay home and then let travelers roam about free which is what happened.
You are right with poor management of a pandemic all isolation does is as they tell you "flatten the curve". Business has been affected and it looks like will continue to be affected into the future with all the restrictions being in a "new normal" disaster zone. Of course it depends on how this new normal plays out. We will see.
I just think 14 days or even a full mouth of tightly controlled isolation which would end any pandemic would make more sense. But in order for it to work those in charge would need to have some common sense. Leadership is lacking?

I'm waiting for someone to come along and tell me that I am wrong. It wouldn't hurt me. I will learn something.
The difference between social protection methods and isolation is that isolation works. It should not be called lock-down by the way. Isolation is a health term we use. Lock down is a reaction to a physical danger like a terrorist.
Since some/most virus's perish outdoors, they die inside the washing machine, they die in your tea or coffee, they die in the hot sun etc then the only place they regenerate is inside a nice moist warm body location. We are the hosts to these parasites once infected.
Isolation (limited time) completely stops a spread from one host to another. Then the pandemic is over.
Otherwise, it will continue and continue and continue and continue until herd immunity is accomplished if ever.

People won't improve, the money game will not change and things will never improve. We have to learn to live with it.

I think so too. As long as we the people (in the world) have agreed that this is our choice not to act.
We have all decided to live with it. Accept our fate?
They said the same thing about air quality. There is nothing that can be done we need to live with it. But in a very short time covid-19 changed what leaders couldn't do.

All the people should be responsible enough for their safety. Follow the security protocols against COVID.
If not,all the hospitals will be swarmed with COVID patients and all those medical workers will have the greatest chance also of being infected when their hospitals is swarmed with COVID patients.

I agree with what you wrote and this is what we are being told. It is true. But I'm not sure you understood why I wrote this. It is easy to look at things and see fault after things happen but I think what I wrote is true unless someone shows me it isn't. I think the world was in shock when this pandemic started.
There wouldn't be any covid-19 patients if people were isolated from each other for as little as 14 days. Even if it took as long as say 30 days. Isolation works for pandemics. After people are isolated the pandemic would be over.
Instead we are required to be content with poor worldwide leadership which really doesn't know what to do or say they can't do anything because they have another agenda or are powerless.
I agree with you when you wrote people can be responsible for their safety but will security protocols actually work or will it be drawn out years of security protocols is my question?
I'm glad you and I can talk about this like adults. You are a beautiful person. God bless. :)

There is a huge gap between health organizations and governmental law enforcement in the world.
Health professionals tend to recommend while establishing the criteria for applying the recommendations is enacted by societies leaders.
A managed mandatory isolation protocol would enable everyone to stay well isolated for a reasonable amount of time. When a pandemic is declared isolation is suppose to be enforced as required by law.
We already have seen (lock down's) occur around the world in 2020. It has however lacked being a unified action.

Breaking the law can be meant with understanding and tolerance. Education can help people who don't understand why the law is working for the common good and their own interest. Shutting down the world economy for a limited time could create a stronger more healthy world economy.
If compliance to any law is not forthcoming then stronger methods are employed. They are called jails. Jails could be converted to isolation wards?
