Chinas new cases per day rate is effectively zero at this point. They beat it, plain and simple. And only 3,000 people died from coronavirus. Compared with literally any other cause of death, it's a tiny blip, even negligible. Around 11 million people died in china last year.
How does such a contagious virus simply stop spreading? after infecting a just tiny percentage of the population. Their economy is coming back up and life is pretty much back to normal over there, while the rest of the world is just headed into it.
- Slartie 7y agoI'm still looking for a rational explanation in your comment why the virus should just have "vanished" in China and NOT resume spreading when life gets back to normal.
- kart23 7y agoI don't know either. It's weird, and I don't know enough about disease or epidemics to know.
- BoorishBears 7y agoIf we weren't talking about the kind of authoritarian government that probably would have been able to stop this outbreak in it's infancy if it didn't have local officials prioritizing suppress news about it reaching higher levels of government... maybe I'd be more charitable to these claims. I can tell you personally, factories I was in contact with about totally non-pandemic related industries, with capacity that I highly doubt can be repurposed for supplies, are still talking about extensive delays for any sort of order.

- kart23 7y agoabout which part is the question. Or our media was lying to us.
- xiphias2 7y ago> How does such a contagious virus simply stop spreading? It's quite simple: noone is permitted to go outside without a mask, and they ramped up testing and manufacturing masks, like any reasonable country would. Meanwhile in the west ,,masks are not important for people, just for doctors''.
