    I'm not convinced, Tin Hau Temple tracing and response seemed quite slow.

    I think China already did clinical tries with Chloroquine and HIV drugs. Could be just like Thailand's cure.

    That was very early days in the pcr testing protocol : I also argued strongly to loosen criteria but alone at that time : just took them very short time actually to come around after massive clamoring from front line : so yes your correct a bit slow : there were concern about the high false neg I believe. But you know look at the country by country progressgraphs : look where we could have been now : and we are not :

No wonder the virus spreads so easily.

    For the moment, I think that strongly confirms the importance of isolation, testing and, if available, wearing masks.

    It would be useful to repeat the experiment in more villages and compare the data.

    Something published in Science, no less, apparently supports those results. Could an alternative interpretation of the Diamond Princess and S Korea clusters be that even those very mild cases were counted? I suppose definitions matter, and an overloaded system (in terms of fatalities) has no time for those.
