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).

Yeah, China's approach would never fly in anywhere that isn't an oppressive dictatorial regime, because human rights, but it got results (though given that those results were published by the CCP, the reality of the situation is probably quite a bit worse than they're letting on). The people saying "we don't need to listen to these recommendations because China got better so obviously this isn't that big of a deal" don't seem to realize that if people don't listen to those recommendations, we aren't going to see the same results without a massive authoritarian crackdown that strips them of their ability to choose whether or not to listen.
