If the world closed for 1-2months, the whole thing would have been over by now.
But of course, it comes at the cost of $$$$$.
The whole world is gg when it comes to world cooperation to do tough things.
ideally la, but we all know ideal method means cannot come true one :LOL: :(

Probably the only country in the world that can do it regardless of what is happening outside.

you talking about accumulated losses.

Scenario 1
Whole world shut down for 2 month,
many countries took hundreds of millions to few billions worth hit.
Thousands to hundreds of thousands become broke from export+tourism complete shutdown.

Scenario 2
as per what is happening now.
many countries took 1/20 of the hundreds of millions to few billions worth hit but accumulatively already more than the scenario 1 financial hit.
Positive part is probably only 1/10 to 1/50 of thousands to hundreds of thousands become broke from export+tourism not here not there shutdown. And there is transition period, meaning those who loss jobs can find other jobs as there is a gradual loss of jobs instead of instant hit of 10x-20x more people losing jobs together.

Numbers above are randomly guessed. But the idea is there.

Hard to say if scenario 1 will work out to completely eradicate the virus after 2 month.
And if it starts to spread, it's back to square 1.

Yes China and HK are success story. Though they paid a high price and you need communist system to work

Communist system is the future

Are Chinese genome susceptible to Covid? If open up or interacted with foreign, the infection of Covid will rampage through the population with no cure in sight? That's why closed borders like Great Wall.
