What rambling nonsense is this? You criticise the CCP for its "tyrannical" quanrantine and bemoan the US government for not instituting drastic enough quantantine. You criticise the WHO for not recommending disruption of global commerce and rant against global supply chain disruption due to "evil" CCP isloation and quarantine measures. Is your, and your ilk's, position to be against any and every state policies regardless of effectiveness or benefit? No sane government will institute a policy, on which the intent is mass evacuation of subjects into caves with emergency supply kits. Social collapse is not what rational humans consider to be an acceptable solution to the current crisis.

A fine broadside attack! Your mischaracterization of my recommendations to prepare for potential disruptions is cast as 'ranting against supply chain disruption'. Well played.
I have already pointed out that instead of instituting their draconian and violent quarantines when Li Wenliang first revealed the spreading outbreak, China did not, and instead put all their efforts into suppressing the information about it - that it's civilian population would have been able to act on to quarantine themselves, even if the CCP didn't quarantine the infected.
When they did institute quarantine, it was after millions had left the city for the holiday, and was so violent and oppressive that people also fled for their lives, that the quarantine would surely end. Welding the doors of whole apartment blocks shut is not something the residents of the apartments are likely to find beneficial, even if they don't get the virus through the air conditioning system, like the passengers on the Diamond Princess did. Not sure starvation is a preferable way to die than pneumonia.
Don't claim China instituted rational policies when it has done exactly what would most spread the epidemic at every possible chance, and the reacharound from the WHO is just disgusting.
Censorship of facts is deadly. Frightened civilians take action to secure themselves, although some of them will do the wrong things. Useful assistance in doing the right things would head a lot of that off, but that's too much to expect of the psychopaths parasitizing us through governmental vectors.
Edit: you mention social collapse is something governments will seek to avoid, yet we both see that happening presently in China. Maybe after the mass deaths by starvation of the quarantined, some sort of order will return, as happened in Europe after the Black Death killed ~1/3 of the population.
I am encouraged at least you are still alive.
Stay that way, my friend.
You claim that the epidemic is as serious as the Black Plague, yet in the same breath, assert that the ill-educated, over-emotional rabble will "quarantine themselves" rather than spread panic and disease all through China. I suppose the "free" people of Hong Kong are rioting to help the health crisis situation by shutting down healthcare facilities and spreading panic everywhere. Only if the model of Hong Kong zeroes could have been implemented throughout all Chinese cities, the epidemic would have been better controlled. Or perhaps the "free" people of S. Korea intentionally spreading the virus.
Or perhaps the rioters in Ukraine attempting to murder their own people whom they suspect of being ill. What nonsense. "Free" people wouldn't be able to organise themselves out of a wet paper bag.
The quantine measures are necessary to ensure compliance. The ignorant muck, when left to its own devises in a time of crisis, will eat themselves. The only method of beating reason and rational behavior into you precious low-born scum is the iron fist of government enforcement. The government, by necessity, must enact draconian measures because the muck will not, or can not, obey the rational behaviors demanded of them during crisis. That the average modern humanist, pampered in his soft lifestyle made possible by the social stability deriving from the policies of central government, is unable to understand the realities of ruling, gives further indication that the subjects ought to have little to no say in formulating sociopolitical policies.
It seems like you don't understand the concept of quarantine. Those trapped in the cruise ships, unable to dock anywhere, are also not benefiting from the "tyrannical" policies of Western nations. Those US citizens "evacuated" into 'Murican military bases are not benefitting from forced imprisonments. Ruling in a time of crisis means deciding which population lives and which population dies. Be thankful that it is your betters who are tasked with this responsibility and not you.
