China has the right idea. We and Europe have been too lax. Decisions are being taken for economic reasons although a slow response to take action will cost more in the long run. The youtube link shows the increase is by a factor of 10 every 16 days. What is happening in Italy now is our tomorrow. All we can do is to try and slow the growth rate but there isn’t much sign of that happening.
Another argument would be just to do nothing and just let it run its course as it can’t be stopped.
