Apparently doing the best they can involves discrediting doctors warning about an outbreak.

- Supermancho 7y agoThat was one step (in december). Not the only step, which the WHO mentioned specifically in their latest report. The locking down of Wuhan was instrumental in limiting the outbreak. I am, almost universally, critical of China's government and evolved social systems. This is an exception. They took pragmatic steps that were effective.
- state_less 7y agoI wouldn't characterize this as 'China doing its best'. I think this step, as you put it, is chilling to the Chinese medical community. Why do they have to live under these conditions? Why should folks feel like they can't speak up about their condition in China without having to hide their identity? This is still a good distance from the best in my view.
