Check this out. It's news, not a blog.

China state media announced Tuesday that it has ordered all residents of Wuhan—roughly 11 million persons—to be tested within the next 10 days.

We have to be watching what happens elsewhere as they open up.

Definitely a worthy goal, but I wonder how feasible it is. And if we can ever know if they were successful.

This virus is the pits. Big time.

And yet we still don't have enough tests to check obviously sick people...

And in another part of China...

quote:
China is sealing off cities in a northeastern province that borders North Korea as a growing cluster of cases threatens to undermine its hard-won containment of the coronavirus epidemic.

Jilin city, the second-largest city in Jilin province, saw bus and rail services halted and residential compounds closed off on Wednesday after the discovery of six new cases of infection. Recently reopened schools were closed again.

These six people had contact with another cluster in the adjacent city of Shulan, which was earlier put under lockdown on Sunday, suggesting that some amount of undetected spread has already taken place before authorities ordered renewed restrictions.

I know. It's mind-boggling.

Yes, but so is the lack of open exchange of information needed to combat it internationally and intranationally - as you allude to above. The Virus sucks - evidentally a blow from Nature (perhaps as a result of poor choices by the human species; i.e., exploitation of the habitat), but the lack of cooperation even while the sh*t is hitting everybody's fan, is/was avoidable.
