Question

"Covid 19 Beginning
In an emergency, the good thing about a dictatorship is that it can
respond very fast. The bad thing is that it won't respond at all until the
dictator n-chief says that it should. All the little dictators who flourish in
this sort of system Wont risk their positions by passing bad news up the line
until the risk of being blamed for delay outweighs the risk of being blamed
for the emergency in the first place.
You can see how this works if you consider China's response to the
emergence of Covid-2019 (novel corona- virus 2019), a new viral threat
potentially as serious as the SARS virus of 2003. Some things it has done
well, but others it did very badly, and the odd that the virus will spread
global-ly are now probably even or worse.
The local health authorities in Wuhan, the 11-million-strong city in
central China where the virus first appeared, spotted it on 31st December,
when only a few dozen cases had come to their attention. That's as fast as
you could ask, and they promptly shut down the seafood and wild game
market where the victims caught the disease. Score:9 out of 10.
China's national health authorities also acted fast. On 9 January they
announced that they had a brand new corona virus on their hands, and just
one day later they released its full genetic sequence online so medical
researchers worldwide could start working on it. Elapsed time: eleven
days. Known deaths at that point: one. Score: 10 out of 10.
But these are medical professionals, doing their duty according to inter
nationally agreed protocols. We don't know what they recommended to
China's political authorities at that point, but they must have called for
widespread testing, and probably also for travel restrictions to control the
spread of the virus. But nobody dared to rock the boat: nothing was done. A
pause here to recall how you control the spread of a new infectious disease
for which there is no vaccine, dorany effective cure. You isolate the victims
as so on as they are identified, and give them what medical support you can:
some will die, but most will usually survive. And if you do that soon enough
and thoroughly enough, the global pandemic never gets going.
There are often complicating factors. The spread will be far faster if the
virus can pass from one person to another in the air. It will be much harder
to isolate the people carrying the virus if they become Infectious before they
develop visible symptoms. But the methods available to slow or stop the
spread are still the same: identify the carriers and isolate them.
