I suppose it was only a matter of time before the nonsensical 'war' tropes were rolled out:
''We are in a war against an invisible killer and we've got to do everything we can to stop it.''
For the avoidance of doubt, trying to limit and mitigate the effect of a virus has absolutely nothing to do with war. Politicians still love that phrase, as in 'war on drugs/terror/etc.' Judging by the amazing success of these 'wars', absolutely the last thing anyone should do is take that phrase to heart.
