Listen, we all know the Chicoms lie whenever it is in their interest. You have said it enough.
But information from China is all we have to know what to do today and tomorrow.
We are literally weeks behind the power curve here. I don't know if there's no active spread in China outside of Hubei Province or not.
But the data makes the claim that ring quarantine can work. Don't you want to know that, if it's true?
The day that I saw the head of the CCP in Hubei announce that there would be no more cases in Wuhan a week ago...I stopped paying attention.
I was a manager long enough to know that if the big boss tells me there will be no more cases...there will be no more cases.
By the time this starts eating Harlem, the system will be so overwhelmed we will not get accurate counts.
China's information has rapidly become irrelevant. We have our own, and we have data from Singapore, Japan and SoK. Add to that research from around the world. That I can trust.
As to your question, I have complete faith in “ring” quarantines. As demonstrated in miniature at Travis, March Field and Miramar. It works. Nobody in my town got sick. It's hardly a Chinese invention. But has China demonstrated a ring quarantine yet? Between Feb 1 and 15, almost 1/4M people left Wuhan. Yuan talks. That's not including those that were given warning to leave prior to Jan 23, when the mayor caused mass panic and literal flood of the hospitals by going from step 1 to step 6. Yet the CCP only locked down Wuhan. And look how they treated Hong Kong, where a lot of mainlanders fled. HK had to buy tests from CCP. What was up with that? But there are still Chinese flying to Bali. And Iran kept flying Chinese tourists until they got their wake up call. China's calling everyone else racist for turning away their people. They haven't done the world any favors. As long as they continue to act like it's their world and we just live in it, China isn't going to get a pat on the back and an atta boy from me. And, the sky is not falling.
