On my last excursion to a big supermarket before we left, I had my temperature taken four times between my apartment door and the produce section. Government offices and hospitals required travel history questionnaires to prevent anyone who'd been near the virus outbreak epicenter of Wuhan from entering. Some even required patrons to scan a barcode that revealed where their cellphone had been over the last two weeks to instantly fact-check people's answers.

Residents relied heavily on online shopping, with drivers never entering apartments or interacting with customers. We ordered online; drivers delivered to impromptu drop-off zones; we collected our purchases once they'd left.

China locked their country down. You couldn't leave your apartment without having your temperature taken. China and South Korea are why we are locking everything down here:

Where can I see this video?Yukon Cornelius said:
Watch the videos of them opening the apartments the welded shut to find everyone inside dead. That's one way to handle it I guess. People forget China is NOT like America in so many ways.
When swift and deliberate action is needed, it's hard to beat a totalitarian regime when it comes to getting things done. South Korea isn't on the same level as China, but I think they're much more likely to tolerate sacrificing individual liberties for the good of the community.Larry Lajitas said:AustinAg2K said:

" In contrast, individual liberty is the engine that drives American exceptionalism. There are certainly valid questions about how much of it to sacrifice in the name of the public good, but our laissez-faire attitude, prioritization of personal freedom and utter lack of government leadership have left Americans confused and exposed." Very good quote.

They are probably still shut down in Wuhan (I don't know anyone there), but other spots are shipping product.

South Korean domestic intelligence is top-notch and often overlooked. Combine that with their near-ubiquitous surveillance capability (they are the most wired country/cameras everywhere) and it is significantly easier to enforce such things. Lastly, they didn't become a democracy until the late 80s, so it is not that hard to flex old muscles.TMoney2007 said:When swift and deliberate action is needed, it's hard to beat a totalitarian regime when it comes to getting things done.
