... you may want to read (and my guess is you don't) how it was according to the SCMP journalists up in Wuhan; I skipped some animals-related fragments which I found distasteful, and I grew up in a village and about thirty years ago I occasionally had to feed a pig (LOL now) so I don't think I'm sensitive OK the link

Glimpse into how China organize the daily need of the residence under lockdown Food and Medicine are the main necessity for the people, using existing community worker and neighborhood watch in addition to internet. China has highly developed Online shopping and courier delivery system. It help out I don't think any other country can lock down 50 million people without riot and civil disturbance because the infrastructure was not there to support normal life. Those busy body community worker is now life saver because they track down and identify every single case of corona virus help deliver daily necessity

Medicine delivery and order
Food distribution

I want to say one good thing about the American response to COVID-19, or at least the response in WA. The American CDC, just like the National Health Commission in China before the Wuhan lockdown, has the sole power to confirm new cases of COVID-19. States have to send CDC presumptive cases and a presumptive case is not considered confirmed until CDC says so. But states are allowed to say publicly that they have presumptive cases. WA are just doing so, announcing presumptive cases before they are confirmed by the CDC. China is currently evaluating ways to improve its public health emergency system, and I think allowing provinces to announce presumptive cases is a good idea.

Not really unless it’s part of a coordinated quarantine effort. Otherwise at best you are creating a mass exodus of people from infected zones, many of who may be carriers in the incubation period, thereby spreading the virus far and wide. At worst you have false positives of areas declaring suspected cases where none exist, causing panic and much more movement of people.

Contrary to western dogma, full transparency is not always the best solution to all problems.

False positivies or unconfirmed casces also streach valuable resources and diverted them away from where they are most needed.
Even the richest and most advanced country in the world has its limit. But US was given time to prepaired.
