The way the CCP has managed to contain the virus is by mass quarantining and shutting down large parts of the economy. That has been effective in slowing the growth of new cases, but can they continue with that until the virus is eradicated in China? At some point I expect they will relax measures and beak outs will flare up, or it will re-imported from other countries it has spread to. The virus is now established in other countries that are unwilling or unable to take the same containment measures as China, and they will be the source for further spread.
@T_Inglesby on Twitter is good as regards measures to blunt the spread and how governments should respond. Maybe it is happening behind the scenes, but it feels like there needs to be a far greater mobilisation of public resources and coordinated international planning to tackle this.
