For the people who think it will grow exponentially (seemingly most epidemiologists), China's job in taking an uncontrolled outbreak and at least temporarily controlling it seems quite surprising. How was China able to control it, and why can't that happen in other countries? Their efforts are really quite extraordinary. "I think people aren’t paying close enough attention. The majority of the response in China, in 30 provinces, was about case finding, contact tracing, and suspension of public gatherings — all common measures used anywhere in the world to manage [the spread of] diseases." (The above quote and both of these excellent articles are from the same primary source, Bruce Aylward from WHO): https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/04/health/coronavirus-china-aylward.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/04/health/coronavirus-china-... https://www.vox.com/2020/3/2/21161067/coronavirus-covid19-china https://www.vox.com/2020/3/2/21161067/coronavirus-covid19-ch... Will this be enough to pause it for a long period of time? Or will it come roaring back once china lets their foot off the brake? Or will China extinguish the virus in their own country and have to block travel inbound to keep it that way? We shall see.
