i agree the thing is overhyped but i just want to point out that it's probable that some of the reason it has stopped spreading so much in china is because of HOW they dealt with it. they used militarized tactics that americans would not stand for, and nobody at the donald would tolerate. there are videos of chinese officials literally dragging people kicking and screaming out of their apartments to throw them in basically mobile cages to take them to forced quarantine.
here we ASK people to quarantine themselves.
in china they made make shift 'hospitals' to deal with the problem, which resembled shanty towns, and had locks on the OUTSIDE of each little shack. other people were put into large rooms in buildings, with dozens of cots in one big room, like a homeless shelter, with nothing separating the beds. so if you didn't have it when you went in you almost surely were going to, but again this was all forced. and ENFORCED with ARMED guards/soldiers.
and honestly, i wouldn't be surprised if this were just the tip of the iceberg. it seems to me like they handled this like fascists. remember the doctor in china who tried to warn people about this before it even got too bad in china let alone spread anywhere else? what happened to him? oh yeah, he vanished for a while then died of it.
do you really think you can assume that because the spread was cut down in a country (who by they way, probably lied about their case/death count all along and even still) who could employ the most brutal methods of cutting down the spread, that it will just do the same here, where those kinds of methods will never be allowed?
it would be here too if people would stop freaking the FUCK out for like a goddamn week.
To be fair, it's China, so we don't know. But S. Korea is saying something similar. So that tracks pretty well with the timeline.
Oh good because China a really reliable source.
Then get them all back to work.
China is asshoe?
China will always be asshoe.
