This is a hard call. Do I want a person walking the streets that could infect thousands? NO!
Yes, this shows how terrible NCoV is. The ChiComs are going to their brutal totalitarian playbook, mass forced quarantine with no care. But they are showing the limits of what is possible.
The cruise ships are another “laboratory” to watch.
God help us when it hits 3rd world open-sewer slums, with no government able to even pretend to enforce a quarantine, or provide medical care.
When you have just a few cases and can put them in isolation ICU, you can save most infected people.
But when you are left on your own, many will die of pneumonia-like symptoms, as with Spanish Flu. Essentially drowning as your lungs fill with fluid.
