Good question @allisonpearson! What did they do in China and Wuhan that has allowed them to get back to normal?
Well, they *didn't* try to infect their teenage children at university, like you said we should.
They didn't treat Covid like a lie, and *didn't* listen to people like you who said they were "pretending" that it was a lethal pandemic.
They didn't cancel lockdowns as people like you said *we* should.
They didn't tell people that you were more likely to kill your granny by not seeing her than by seeing her, like you did.
They didn't worry about people being "demeaned" by wearing a face mask, like you said you would be when you wrote that you were refusing to wear one.
They didn't let people decide to ignore the rules because they didn't like them, as you did in June when you said quarantines for travellers and distancing in pubs were too much, because "Covid19 now exists almost exclusively in hospitals and care homes".
They didn't listen to people who thought unemployment "outweighs any risk posed by the virus", like you said in April.
So what *did* they do in China, @allisonpearson?
Lockdowns, school closures, travel bans, mass testing, contact tracing, and masks.
The sort of thing you opposed every step of the way this year. Thanks a lot. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(20)30800-8/fulltext
