[QUOTE="essentialsaltes, post: 74775427, member: 294566"] [I] 1. In the face of a previously unknown virus, China has rolled out perhaps the most ambitious, agile and aggressive disease containment effort in history.[/I] I think what we'll find is that the authoritarian Chinese government was able to impose things like quarantining entire cities and restricting travel that were fairly successful at curtailing the spread, but that these measures will be unpalatable to the citizens of first world democracies. So they won't be implemented, or they won't be obeyed. I find myself checking the [URL='https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6']JH coronavirus dashboard[/URL] daily. For a long long long time, the yellow graph of cases outside China was so close to zero that you couldn't tell the difference. Now it has swooped up, and looks like the orange China graph did a month ago. The question is whether it will level off the same way that China has. I doubt it. Some countries may do better and some worse, but out of the 200+ other countries, there's no chance that all of them will be as successful as China. [/QUOTE]
