Come on lads what do you think?
China had lockdowns in hotspot areas. So, lockdowns in 3 of the 34 provences. They tracked and traced every individual. This seems to be what stopped the spread going throughout the country.

They acted early. It would appear you only get one chance and that is at the outset. We seemed to have missed that chance as our strategy was to allow the virus to spread create herd emunity. Italy acted late and lost track of cases.

The second part of the China strategy was brilliant healthcare. New hospitals opened and they shifted health care workers from all parts of China to those hotspots.
