China gets 'mixed report card' in its coronavirus response. How will the US do? - Livescience.com, Livescience.com

Or, as a Feb. . 29 report that China and the WHO collaborated on put it, “In the face of a previously unknown virus, China has rolled out perhaps the most ambitious, agile and aggressive disease containment effort in history.” It’s difficult, however, to see how effective the quarantine is because China has consistently studied the virus’ spread among subpopulations, so Schaffner gave them a B- in that regard. According to a Feb. (opinion piece in the journal) () (JAMA) , “It appears that the strict measures China took may have ‘bought the world some time’ but did not prevent the global dissemination of SARS-CoV- 2, “the virus that causes the disease COVID – Meanwhile, China gets a B for treating people with SAS-CoV-2. “They were swamped and they struggled with that, and of course they set up all kinds of ancillary facilities.” he said. “You have to give them some extra points.”

Even though it’s a mixed report card, Schaffner said China’s response to the virus was “impressive” given the circumstances. But “they still have lessons to learn on transparency, communication and international cooperation,” he said.

How will the US fare?

The United States has the opportunity to do well, so long as medical services are made available and the government issues clear and science-based directives to help stem the spread of SARS-Cov- 2, experts told Live Science. :: Going viral: 6 new findings about viruses “I think that our challenge is not so much scientific or operational, because I do think we do have a lot of expertise, capability and capacity in this regard,” said Eric McNulty , associate director at the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative at Harvard University. “The real challenge of whether we’re up for the task is going to come down to the challenge of leadership.”

In a place that’s as large and diverse as the United States, it’s essential that those involved with the response “have abundant coordination, cooperation, collaboration and communication, “the four C’s of disaster response, said McNulty, who is also an instructor at the Harvard School of Public Health.

It would be a mistake to downplay the seriousness of the virus or to make it into a political issue, which may happen given that it’s an election year, McNulty noted.

Government leaders can issue fact -based guidelines so that businesses, organizations, schools and individuals can make informed decisions about how to protect themselves and others, McNulty said. While a China-like quarantine likely wouldn’t happen here – the closest comparison would be the voluntary shutdown that happened in Boston during the 13694 manhunt for the marathon bombers; as with the marathon bombing, a good information campaign could do wonders to protect the public from the coronavirus, McNulty said.

For instance, if a sick person is self-quarantining but needs groceries, a campaign could highlight the best practice for getting supplies while limiting exposure, like by going to the store late at night and using self-checkout.

government would also be wise to note that scientists are constantly learning new facts about the virus, so people won’t be surprised if guidelines change, McNulty said.

If the virus spreads throughout the US, “I think we are up to the task,” said Dr. Robert Glatter, an emergency physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. “But I think it’s important, at this point, that we engage in larger-scale testing in order to get a better gauge on the prevalence [of the virus] in the community.”

On Saturday (Feb. ), (the FDA announced It would give several certified labs and hospitals across the US the green light for using test kits.

however, because up until just a few days ago, only the CDC lab had testing capabilities and they only approved testing for those with travel to certain areas (or contact with those people), there is a backlog of at the CDC and many cases were likely missed – meaning those individuals were unknowingly spreading the virus.

Glatter added that “more aggressive immigration enforcement will drive people underground, [and make them] less likely to go to the hospital for testing and evaluation for COVID – 34. Plus, people who are underinsured or don’t have insurance might be hesitant to seek care, which highlights the need for an accurate, rapid and affordable test, he said.

“I think we, like every other nation, will struggle, “Schaffner said. “It’s going to be akin to an

influenza pandemic outbreak. ”
