  1. Actually they only ever dealt with one outbreak before, they overestimated their abilities or underestimated the Delta variant. Same can be said for New South Wales , Australia which is having big problems now but not totally out of control like Ho Chi Min city.

  2. Actually it's not funny really spraying people with disinfectant also as we saw people around can't be good.

  3. New York did it too in it's subway system. Some comments said China did it, so what? Melbourne Australia didn't do it and got back to 0 cases from around 500 cases per day. It's hard lockdown that works not spraying chemicals, nobody eats off the ground and even if they did saliva might well kill the virus. There is a big difference between correlation and effectiveness. Some Wumaos said you need to be communist to be successful, no correlation there actually.

  4.  @LitlMiraclePupnPony  I checked and you're right it doesn't kill this virus. Eating the virus and catching it that way would be extremely rare though , mostly it would get swallowed and die in the stomach.

  5. Which country?

  6.  @paulmildner5221  Ok so behind the great response times especially at the beginning of the pandemic, Vietnam and Taiwan the most proactive , there is little to back it up. Because what you describe indicates to me they can never get control again because the numbers just too large, sloppy measures like that will still work if cases are in the 10s or possibly even low hundreds but not the 1000s of daily cases. I hope I am wrong but it's looking that way and from the report it's spread all around the country because only 75% of cases in that city.

  7. That's an extreme outbreak , no country has ever come back from such numbers. I remember Melbourne Australia had around 500 cases per day, they did one of the hardest lockdowns in the world and got it back to 0 , meanwhile Canada was having about 400 cases per day and then decided to open up and never put travel restrictions in, check the different outcomes of Australia and Canada with similar demographics and population distribution. My thoughts at the time well done Canada you're going to get rid of the virus , sorry Victoria Australia looks like you have lost control, I was wrong.

  8.  @natus99  The US never had a lockdown in a single state. Free travel for all isn't a lockdown, inform the prison population next time the prison governor declares a lockdown they are free to leave if you think free travel without any quarantine is a lockdown. China, Queensland, Australia , Western Australia and New Zealand , places that have hard and fast lockdown look at our case numbers, and death numbers and compare them to any US state, we are human like US citizens and we don't have any special immunity. If you want wide ranging proof look at PAHO Pan-American Health Organization region versus Western Pacific WHO region and you will see less than 10% of the deaths per Capita, if that's not proof nothing is. Don't confuse mitigation designed to not overfill hospitals with a lockdown for elimination purposes which the US never tried. By the way look at the economic performance of US versus Australia, half the government deficit and twice the economic growth for 2020 for Australia compared to the US and without the 40,000 deaths adjusted for Australia's population.
