Just trying to follow your logic...
China, in an unprecedented move in world history, completely quarantined some 60+ MILLION of its citizens, but had NO IDEA of "what was coming or how bad it could be"? Why the quarantine then? Isn't it more likely they knew they were dealing with a novel virus that transmitted human to human, thus the imposition of the quarantine? It is my understanding they denied its human to human transmission for another approximately three weeks.
Let's not overlook or dismiss that the quarantine DID NOT include international air travel to other countries. If they were alarmed enough to quarantine 60+ million domestically, why allow the virus to spread to the rest of the world via air travel? Obviously this was a CHOICE by the CCP not to shutdown international air travel concurrent with the domestic quarantine. Why did they make that CHOICE?
