Yeah I love how everybody chided them for their slovenly reaction to the initial outbreak, then immediately turned around and did worse.

I assume it can be largely explained by catering to your economic interests and effective containment measures being basically diametrically opposite. I fully expect a clown-show in pretty much all of the capitalist run countries.

The thing is, China has a political unit call "subdistrict", this is an office in parallel of the local police precinct that control people in street level. This is where you handle resident hukou and some of the urban resident social benefits. That's the office CCP uses to seal off the building main gates and organize food delivery to enforce hard quarantine. No other country in the world AFAIK has subdistrict office. The countryside village heads serve the similar function.

If you expect the privately owned residential building management offices to seal off the front doors for you, it's not going to fly.

I always thought that the sealing-in of people was over the top and a more extreme measure than this called for. I mean you could just fine them. And of course make sure that there’s no reasons for going out such as work etc.

Which again is not gonna happen in a capitalist country because they are not going to do anything that interrupts the making of money in any serious way.

65%+ of China's economy is not state owned, you can't make people (who may or make not have low fever) take 2 week off self quarantine by the goodness of their hearts.

I’m surprised that the media and government isn’t raising more of a stink about how much Japan is loving up here. It’s clear that there have been local transmissions on the ship, and they’re just ignoring that to end the quarantine. A five-year-old could see that it’s better for them to admit that they screwed up now than to wait for hundreds of passengers
to develop symptoms and spread the virus further. Especially if they want to host the Olympics this year.

Am I missing something? Everyone is blaming Cambodia for being in bed with China, but this seems so much worse.

At this point it doesn't matter, because everybody has bungled up the quarantines to the point where if it wasn't, it is now.

As the other goon said, it's a repeat of the same types of mistakes people made 700 years ago.

nobody in power can admit they made a mistake because in neoliberal power structures (which includes the governments of japan and the anglosphere), authority is legitimized by claiming to be the smartest person

Theoretically it's to slow the virus until a treatment or vaccine is developed.

If the virus is going to infect everyone then you'll want to try to throttle the spread so you don't run out of ICU space at least.

Again as above, coming out and going "WE hosed UP!" // "THEY hosed UP!" is how you get a panic started up. Absolutely no government in the world wants this
