I have been wondering about two puzzles related to the coronavirus. - If chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine are effective treatments, why is Italy’s case fatality rate 8.6%? Is it that Italy is not using chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine, or that those treatments are not effective?

- China started going back to work over a week ago. Why is the virus not spreading again?

Rigorous testing and quarantining, you can’t get on a bus or enter a building in China without being screened for symptoms. Identify infected and then quarantine them & anyone in contact to snuff out spread before it becomes exponential.

Personal speculative theory - collectivist culture means people more likely to practice social distancing even when there’s no lockdown eg standing apart in lines, wearing masks, spacing out in restaurants etc.
