Peru has had a strict military lockdown since March 16th.
So are they still on it? I noticed a number of the other countries mentioned, as well as Hawaii, all seemed to be under a lockdown, but recently started easing restrictions.
The whole thing is nuts, honestly. It seems every time someone has a reasonable theory that gives us some hope, the expectations end up getting dashed. The thing that concerns me now is if this doesn't start easing up soon, we're going to have people fighting both the flu and COVID at once. BTW, we've already got two schools who opened up now shut down because of over 900 quarantines in each in less than 10 days.

Just know that we will survive, the world is not ending. The fearmongering wanted this to be Spanish Flu, but it has not yet surpassed the Asian Flu or Hong Kong Flu pandemics.
It was novel, but it's not like our immune systems can't handle it.
Wash your hands, try to avoid obviously sick people, stay home if you're sick has been and still is the best advice.
The mitigation strategies should never have been forced upon us as they already knew they didn't work.

This should be happening in the Southern Hemisphere now, and likely happened here during the height of everything. Flu season peaked in mid-February in the USA this year.

Baloney! I’ll give you a reasonable theory: Jefferson and Orleans Parishes peaked in April before we knew what the frick was going on. All the epidemiologists predicted our peak would come in early May, because that’s when the social distancing would come into effect. But whoops! It flattened on April 2nd. What happened? We started to flirt with herd immunity, that’s what.
We opened back up on May 15th, and three months later, after tepid social distancing, we had a peak of...oh, it’s hard to measure such a tiny peak. COVID-19 is whipped in the GNO area, and it will be whipped across the South in another month. The only possible problem is that the winter could trigger a recrudescence.
