Honestly, I think there's something to be said for China's more aggressive quarantine approach

I mean, from what I have read/heard, they were insanely draconian there, and massively contained the virus.

Supposedly they literally went door to door, and even brook them down if they had to, and tested the temp of everyone, quarantening everyone with the virus (only 80k or so out of a huge populltion, we have almost that many cases TESTED positive in the US and we have barely tested anyone).

And even with such insane measures and such a small number of actual cases, it's reported as much as 5% of the people who tested positive died.

Meanwhile Italy had a worse time of it I believe but they have also basically forced everyone to stay inside across the whole country, WAY better than what we are doing. The numbers there are approaching the total number of confirmed cases in China at over 60k, and 10% of those (over 6k) have died....double the number in China. Almost as many people have died as have recovered in fact in Italy, while in China it was almost a 20 to 1 ratio.
