Full Circle

Well, courtesy of the rat-lickers of the west—people apparently comfortable with increasing piles of bodies so long as they don't get personally inconvenienced—COVID-19, which blew up here in Wuhan, catching a city larger than New York completely unawares and started spreading sickness and death, has returned. I once again face the prospect of lockdown and terror because nearly a billion selfish asshats decided that TEH EKKONEMEEE was more important than human life, ironically destroying their own economies in the process of extinguishing each others' lives.

The notice

From an official Hubei government posting we get the following (full text and bad translation courtesy of Baidu Translate appended at the end of this post):

After this each individual case is discussed including source of infection (in case of infected family members) and origin of each as well.

Further, the areas the training course's students are known/expected to have interacted in are cited for all three days of the course and people living in those areas are locked down pending testing.

What you can glean

First, contrary to all the verbiage in western press about the “opacity” of Chinese governments, there's not a single western government I've seen that's even close to the transparency surrounding this outbreak. Each case is identified by where the spread likely occurred, which neighbourhoods/locales are impacted by it, and even where the people still remaining in Wuhan currently reside. And this is posted in a public notice for anybody to read.

This means that if you're in one of the impacted areas, you know if you're at risk and can take appropriate measures. So while I have creeping terror at another outbreak in Wuhan that infects and kills thousands like the last one, that is a purely emotional reaction caused by the impact of a lockdown back when we knew nothing about this disease and what was going on.

In reality, however, though I am somewhat afraid, the calm professionalism, the open transparency, and the detailed information provided settle my nerves enough that I'm experiencing mild trepidation instead of stark terror. Unlike my family in Canada I'm confident that this outbreak will be squelched before it reaches three digits cases, likely before it even cracks the half-way mark in two digits. I can go to work with heightened countermeasures (mostly scanning in and out of places again) and not have to worry about loss of income, loss of health, or loss of life.

And the major point

Note the alacrity and thoroughness of this response. The first case was identified on February 21. Immediate contacts were traced and tested on the same day. Contact tracing and locale tracing were performed on the same day, going back to the 17th when all the students arrived. Lockdowns in the impacted neighbourhoods and locales were started on the next day.

For “only” 10 (known) cases the city mobilized resources and stomped down hard on where the virus could have been. Testing is being done en masse in the impacted areas, and the unfortunates who live/work in them are being inconvenienced for enough time to ensure they're not infected. The rest of us are carrying on with our usual days with only minor inconveniences like spending a few extra seconds to get on and off public transit. (We were already wearing masks.)

THIS is why all the “Zero COVID strategies won't work because they're too expensive” arguments made by the western press (especially that shit rag Bloomberg) are just flat-out wrong. The cost to China of losing 1 in 356 of its citizens would be, in the Chinese view, far more expensive.
