Here's what they told me: * The hospitals in Wuhan are at absolute maximum capacity. they are lumping any fever cases (e.g. flu) patients with potential coronavirus patients in the same room. * People with mild symptoms are sent home due to capacity, they are instructed to be quarantined at home unless sympto…

> Setting aside quality assurance and risk assessment/mitigation, I'm seriously impressed with the speed in which they construct complex infrastructure. Not only infrastructure, it's just everything here glides like on butter in comparison to my experience in Canada and US, both in public and private spheres. My experience making business in Canada: drag and head current in everything. That's a part of the culture: t…
Could the delay, in part, be there are more checks and balances that are thoroughly checked? Likewise the populations and level of development are at very different levels not only with population size to compare but also with the amount of workers in different positions there will be in China compared to in the US and Canada for development related work. I don't disagree that there's likely an overabundance of think…
Compared to the UK you notice that when you go to the bank: Clerks work fast, the supermarket: Cashier will scan items faster than you can put them into your bags, local MacDonald's: Your food is ready fast.
