Oh stop. China contained the virus with local measures. China has less land area than the United States, which is a very large country. The United States needs sustained regional lockdowns, and other measures in other areas. It does not merit a national response.
To put it in perspective, closing down the nation due to big outbreaks in particular regions is like closing down Darwin Australia due to the initial outbreak in Wuhan.
- throwaway0888 7y ago> China has less land area than the United States, which is a very large country. Isn't China bigger than the States by land area?
- tathougies 7y agoAmerica is slightly bigger. According to Google, USA is 3.797 million sq miles, and and china is 3.705 million square miles.

China is larger though by all accounts. https://www.worldometers.info/geography/largest-countries-in-the-world/ https://www.worldometers.info/geography/largest-countries-in...
