How Do You Think China has Recovered from Covid 19 so Quickly While the Rest of the World is Struggling?
By Owen Lee | Student – QUORA.com Submission
Updated April 14, 2020 – Upvoted by Richard Anderson, MS Economics, Boston University & Bill Stell, M.D. Medicine and Healthcare, University of Chicago (1967)

I’m Chinese. I’m here on Quora because I want to know what is really going on in the rest of the world and what do other people really think. During my whole school life I was taught to think critically and consider without any bias.

I just want to share my personal experience two months ago and this might help you understand why China can recover from the Covid 19 so quickly.

I live in Kunming, which is 1, 558 kilometers away from Wuhan. In January, the official number of people infected in Kunming was around 50 (not very serious right?) I live with my parents, and my grandparents live in the same area but different places. On Jan 29, my grandfather told my mom that he had a fever. Suspecting it might be the coronavirus, we took him to the hospital. As we expected, he was immediately isolated, and we went home later. On the second day, at around 9:00 pm, some people wearing protective clothing came to our home and told us that we have to be isolated too, because we could be infected(note that at that time the doctors were not sure if my grandfather did have the virus.)

According to those guys, the isolation was mandatory and if we insist to stay at home, they’ll have to seal the whole building, just as what the government do with the real corona virus patients. Then we were transferred to a hotel, one person one room, with three meals a day delivered by certain person. During this time, in the hospital, my grandpa did the nuclei acid test for three times, and took some medication. In fact, it turned to be negative in the first test, and grandpa’s temperature turned normal on the second day, but according to the government, all three tests are mandatory.

Much more HERE.
