The biggest technical emergency in history was WWII, and the U.S. responded better than any other country. The Chinese severely botched the initial response to the epidemic, because of their totalitarian government. The "old fashioned public health tools" that the Chinese used were developed mainly in the U.S. The Chinese approach is described here: To Take On the Coronavirus, Go Medieval on It https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/28/sunday-review/coronavirus-quarantine.html The other good video is the W.H.O. conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itP54nMn2sE The audio begins at minute 15 and his comments start at minute 16. The discussion about about vaccines is at minute 20. "More than 20 vaccines are in development globally, and several therapeutics are in clinical trials. We expect the first results in a few weeks." At minute 22 he describes the symptoms: a temperature and a dry cough. If you develop shortness of breath, call a doctor or go to a hospital immediately (minute 24). I think that's pneumonia. > >
