I say ....
N.O. F'n way could the U.S. govt. Impose anything close as to what China is currently doing to it's citizen's.
The Chinese psyche is geared to taking and obeying orders....no matter what that order may be...any order...they will obey.
And if they don't? The govt. Will kill them...it's a given result and they know it in spades.
If you tried imposing a travel ban or quarantine in AMERICA? ALL HELL WOULD BREAK LOSE...nobody would obey it ...the American psyche has always been..
"Don't tell me what I can do or cannot do"
If this coronavirus gets lose in America?
It will spread exponentially more than in China.
