i think you'd be surprised at how efficient the Chinese are if the gov't wants to build infrastructure....city trams, dams can be built rapidly
i believe given the scale of the situation it's being handled pretty well, good to know they've learned from sars

Unfortunately if the reproduction number is really 3.8 or around there, they acted way too late to contain it. Instead of trying to hide it and putting people who spoke about it in jail, they needed to do this stuff immediately.
They didn't really learn from SARS at all, they tried to do the same thing. Problem this time is, this virus is even worse than SARS, so they couldn't hide it for as long.
What they're doing now may prevent apocalyptic catastrophe, but it's still going to be very bad.
SARS killed 800 people and shaved 2% off China's economy. We could be in the thousands already.
