Here are the 12 dramatic disease-fighting tools that China has used to end the spread of the new coronavirus.

In China, where the novel coronavirus originated last year, cases of COVID-19 have steadily declined since peaking in mid-February, and are now zeroing out, thanks to the extreme measures China took to contain the virus.

  • Some of those measures included building hospitals in days, rapid testing protocols, and technology that attempted to trace all 80,000-plus virus cases.
  • Experts told Business Insider that some methods, like creating makeshift hospitals, might work for America, but others, like punishing people that don’t disclose their travel history, might be impossible to implement in a liberal democracy.

The novel coronavirus is slowing down across China, just as the pandemic accelerates rapidly elsewhere around the world.

A recent multilateral mission to China by health authorities from around the globe has revealed the rest of the world “is simply not ready” to tackle the coronavirus with the speed and seriousness that China has, as the World Health Organization’s Dr. Bruce Aylward, who led the international team of 25 health experts, told reporters upon his return.

“Hundreds of thousands of people in China did not get COVID-19 because of this aggressive response,” Aylward said, adding that the techniques were old-fashioned public-health tools but applied “with a rigor and innovation of approach on a scale that we’ve never seen in history.”

But this rigor comes at a cost, as professors, journalists and doctors in China have reported being silenced after sharing vital information about the coronavirus outbreak without the consent of the Chinese government.

“These draconian measures seem to have worked to bring down the cases in a very short period of time in China,” Yanzhong Huang, senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations, told Business Insider. “Although there is a cost to the economy, to society, not to mention also the second-order problems, like access to health care for people without the coronavirus. The question is whether the United States is willing to pay such a high price.”

The above are the 12 dramatic disease-fighting tools that China has used to end the spread of the new coronavirus.

Currently USA has the most number of Covid 19 cases in the world and the number is increasing every day. But I doubt America can follow and implement these 12 strict measures to reduce the number of deaths.
