    They quarantined Wuhan, and announced it 8 hours before they did it, they estimated 200k people left Wuhan in a rush. Yet people are still entering and exiting Wuhan for CNY. So as far as I'm concerned this quarantine is just political face.

      That is still 98% quarantine rate and should significantly reduce the chance the infection will establish in other cities.
