@Just_Curius I don't think they can at this point. And the next two weeks will be key to see if they can actually control this disease. Given the Chinese new year.
I don’t think they have identified all cases based on the epidemiology work from the UK vs. the reported cases. If they only know ~5-10% of the cases, then this cat is already out of the bag.
China says it can control the Wuhan pneumonia virus (coronavirus). But what I don’t understand is, if they haven’t even identified all of the cases, how could they possibly identify all of the contacts? I don’t see how control is possible.
