NOBODY LEAVES, NOBODY ENTERS WUHAN

CENTRALIZED  QUARANTINE

Until 03.02.2020, Chinese medical reports accounted for more than 20,000 infected and 426 dead due to the epidemic outbreak caused by the 2019 coronavirus in Wuhan, China. In our previous blog we stated : 1) that this outbreak was a challenge for the Chinese health system, not prepared for this peculiar outbreak and 2) That this outbreak corresponded to the disease model: high population density-easy spread of the virus. The dead and infected on the rise in Wuhan are due to the fact that in Wuhan, incorrect measures are being applied (centralized quarantine), successful in populations of 50,000 inhabitants or less.

In megacities such as Wuhan, close human contact facilitates the easy installation and reproduction of the virus. The Chinese ruler Xin Pi has established a centralized quarantine (nobody leaves, nobody enters Wuhan). A mistake, because in that way Wuhan continues to retain its 11 000 000 inhabitants, in its many densified  apartment buildings, houses and overcrowded hospitals, when the right thing is for people to disperse and leave Wuhan going to the fields, forests, living outdoor tents or in  cities of lower density population. By increasing the person-person distances, the virus remains in the environment where it quickly dies or becomes inactive.
