I've posted this story elsewhere, but it deserves a thread of it's own.
Anyway, no wonder China sends a thrill down the legs of all American liberals.
No wonder they would trade Trump for Xi Jinping in a heartbeat !
China did what the American left dreams of doing. Using their communist iron fist rule, the central government did what all communist authoritarian always does. They took away what little individual rights the "citizens" had, and threw them all into a mandatory lockdown.
And by the way, when I say mandatory, I mean MANDATORY !
In this country you have been hearing the term "shelter-in-place", which of course is far from the truth. In China, it literally was just that.
"In late February as coronavirus infections mounted in Wuhan, China, authorities went door-to-door for health checks – forcibly isolating every resident in makeshift hospitals and temporary quarantine shelters, even separating parents from young children who displayed symptoms of COVID-19, no matter how seemingly mild."
"Outside, drones hovered above streets"
This is what China did to beat coronavirus. Experts say America couldn't handle it

In late February as coronavirus infections mounted in Wuhan, China, authorities went door-to-door for health checks – forcibly isolating every resident in makeshift hospitals and temporary quarantine shelters, even separating parents from young children who displayed symptoms of COVID-19, no matter how seemingly mild.
Caretakers at the city's ubiquitous large apartment buildings were pressed into service as ad hoc security guards, monitoring the temperatures of all residents, deciding who could come in and implementing inspections of delivered food and medicines.
Outside, drones hovered above streets, yelling at people to get inside and scolding them for not wearing face masks, while elsewhere in China facial-recognition software, linked to a mandatory phone app that color-coded people based on their contagion risk, decided who could enter shopping malls, subways, cafes and other public spaces.

Beijing took radical and invasive coronavirus actions that many people outside China might find culturally, logistically and emotionally unpalatable.www.usatoday.com
