Well I still have a fundamental question, what happens when China, or anyplace else, un-Wuhan's?
They seem to be opening stores, starting flights to SFO, but surely China is not clear of the virus. So, are we expecting a pick up in infections now. And, if not, please explain why not.. I'm really curious..
- joshfraser 7y agoThey're starting to open up now. It works fine as long as you have broad testing & can identify everyone who has been exposed to it. Exponential curves are easy to stop as long as you catch them early.
- rojobuffalo 7y agoHere's an expert discussing that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpQmMkPj-mE&t=3m8s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpQmMkPj-mE&t=3m8s I get the impression that it's BS to say "look at South Korea and China, they're beating the outbreak and will soon be able to relax because they have lots of testing and transmission tracing". I haven't heard a single expert suggest that a "second wave" is avoidable at this point. It might have been avoidable if the whole world had reacted quickly and decisively in the early stages, but that ship has sailed. The CDC also suggested that China was reporting falsified data in January (not surprising). Why should we trust their numbers now?
