| schestowitz__ | How many accounts are targeted by this? | Mar 19 06:25 |
| schestowitz__ | I know about two of my accounts. About 10k spam sent to each. | Mar 19 06:25 |
| schestowitz__ | It is very important to know to what degree this is targeted. | Mar 19 06:25 |
| schestowitz__ | Looking forward to your reply, | Mar 19 06:25 |

| schestowitz__ | @schestowitz I don't know. I see no way that could have worked, but let's suppose you went full lock down early January, had a little luck, having zero reported cases at his point. Those people would indeed still be alive, which is huge. | Mar 19 06:29 |
| schestowitz__ | But then what? Suppose you can keep everything closed up for two whole years. Tunnel, flight and shipping. Even after that, opening the borders would immediately allow it in from the rest of the world. | Mar 19 06:29 |
