Chinese underreporting is currently underestimated by a factor of 20:(https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.23.20018549v2 https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.23.20018549v...) I have no ill feeling towards China other than the fact that they have a repressive, authoritarian government. Those types of government necessarily try to control and spin the news to maintain their authority. If a country is willing to censor Winnie the Pooh to make their leader feel better, than they'll naturally minimize the effect of SARS-Cov2. I also agree that the US is underreporting due to inadequate testing. Estimates in the US should be closer to 9-10K. I think that we'll see a large spike in cases as soon as testing approaches levels in other countries. My inclination regarding quarantine controls in Western countries stems from the willingness of these societies to restrict freedoms. Italy's quarantine is very basic, a 1 on a 1-10 level. Compared to what China implemented, it's not even close. Soap isn't the ability to treat cases; it's a way of trying to mitigate the spread.
