I'd like to believe it is. Because I find it incomprehensible that the country with the highest population in the world, ground zero of the virus, could have it under control to the extent they say they do. The number of tests would have to be in the billions. Even the false positives would have their case numbers much much higher than what they're reporting. |
The only way to know for sure is to talk to someone who is living it, and (importantly) is willing to speak openly and honestly about what they see. As opposed to what they're being told. I think we have a couple members who were there at least when it started, not sure where everyone is now though.
Hong Kong locks down hard whenever cases go over like 100 a day, and we all know that HK = China now, so I assume China has similar policies just on a much larger scale.
You would NEVER see scenes like this in Hong Kong these days. Even white people are wearing masks now, and not many people are doing unnecessary group activities. Most keep it within the family, and mask usage is like 99% when in public. Even joggers and cyclists wear masks these days.
My assumption is that there are hotspots all throughout the country at various times, some manageable, some at near disaster level. And there are some places where it's pretty much contained. We won't know for sure what is going on, and neither will the citizens. They just deal with it as it comes to them, just like everyone else.
