How is it that China has seemed to gain successful control of Covid19, while other parts of the world are still struggling? I've been reading about how the population in China takes respiratory viruses very seriously, but I can't help but think that why China has been recovering faster than other parts of the world, is largely due to their government restricting the personal freedoms of its citizens, unlike the West. I wouldn't want to reside under such a government, but it's simply an interesting observation. China also seemed to erect hospitals within days, and contact tracing at rapid rates, as well. They've literally seemed to break the chain of transmission. I've read that they kept their lock down going until they reached local transmission to zero. Now, some skeptics would say that they don't believe anything coming out of China, but people's lives overall in China, have restored to nearly normal.
I don't think that the US will be able to withstand another lock down (economically or emotionally), that horse has been let out of the barn, and there's no leading him back in. But, suppose there was a federal mandate for another lock down? How would the US handle it?
