#coronavirus 🚨

It is worth taking heed of this:

On January 23, 2020, Wuhan city was put in lockdown after reporting 800 confirmed cases.

On January 26, practically all of Hubei province (pop. 55 M) was quarantined after reaching 2700 cases.
On January 29, the largest emergency policy the world has ever seen was put in place, effectively putting over a billion people in quarantine.

China then shut down completely for over 30 days, at great human and economic cost.
2 weeks after quarantine started (Feb. 12), the total of cases in hospitals and observation reached 66,000, but almost 90% were concentrated at Ground Zero.

After this extreme containment, the trend stabilized and began to decline in Feb. 18, it has declined ever since.
Today, most provinces have declared 0 new cases for 3 days or more.

Today, Italy has reached 2500 cases.
