China used Test/Trace/Isolate (Quarantining persons who were exposed and isolating confirmed virus carriers) and a much more severe lockdown.
The USA bragged about its western medical system, said the virus would miraculously disappear, and sold their supplies of PPE to china and other asian countries.
The USA has failed badly - and people like Elon, who spent months insisting the virus wasn’t dangerous and would go away (“The Coronavirus panic is dumb” - Elon Musk), are part of the reason why.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoChina didn't use a much more severe lockdown. Severe lockdowns are their primary pandemic control measure; in every area where they've seen a double-digit number of cases, they've responded by imposing a severe lockdown. It doesn't really seem like they believe test/trace/isolate is effective.
