That is massively contagious!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s little wonder then why we\u2019re seeing more and more reports of doctors and health workers falling sick, despite using proper PPE and contamination protocol.<\/p>\n<p>China, which bumped up the number of total infected within the country by 33% last night, is clearly facing a public health nightmare of epic proportion. As we keep saying, we think the true reality on the ground there is even much worse than the official numbers we\u2019re being given.<\/p>\n<p>That said, China\u2019s totalitarian approach of mandatory home quarantine for hundred of millions of people is likely the best way to fight a virus this contagious.<\/p>\n<p>Will other countries, like the US, be able to enforce such controls on their populations if required to combat covid-19?
