Wuhan tested millions of people for COVID-19 in just days. Could US cities do the same?

[admin]

By pooling swab samples, Wuhan ramped up its testing capacity. But the approach won't work everywhere.

These numbers are absurd. Your source is the state run media of China.

Please dude. Theyve done fantastic job from the get go.

And your country STILL flocks to beaches and protests having to stay home.
Maybe they look like liars to you, because your country is shitty at using even basic self preservation thus causing a massive outbreak.
since you fumbled the issue so badly, you think nobody could handle it better than you. Let alone with like under 10% of the same cases as your countries.

Very disappointed that you have merely repeated the lies pumped out by the Chinese Communist Party. This whole testing thing was a sham: yet another piece of iniquitous propaganda. The corrupt Chinese government caused all this misery and death in the first place and are trying to turn it all on its head by posing as the good guys. Very, very poor reporting.

More propaganda...do the math...it does not work. How do you know where I am from? Classic Chinese propaganda, Watch China Uncensored. Get the facts. The CCP runs that country and their media. Maybe you are one of their clones? how about it "Dude".

Well said, this contributor sounds like a real fanatical Chinese State clone. The Chinese State is pumping out lies - I watch You Tube videos from China: the deaths are horrendous, but the repressive state suppresses the truth - the figures they give are an insult to our intelligence - the reality is in the millions. They treat their own people with ruthless cruelty. We cannot trust China - ever. Until there some free speech, human rights and honesty, we must regard the CCP as anathema and the enemy of all free people. We MUST become self-sufficient and not rely on this evil empire.
They should PAY for the misery, death and poverty THEY have created.

The Chinese have done a fantastic job of losing control of the virus, spreading the virus, lying about it and then spreading propaganda.

You people are all delusional and racist.
"I watch youtube videos!!!" Is not researching source material. Ive watched china uncensored. Its blatant rambling propaganda using anti chinese sources.

US backed liars have been doi g this **** for decades with every country the US chooses to fight with. The fact that you people dont question anything thats spoon fed to you by western media is terrifying.

China has recieved commendations for how theyve handled the outbreak. From across the world. The math does add up. You just watched a video that said "no it doesnt we disagree and hate them. Their government runs literally every aspect of their lives!!!!"
Meanwhile during the early stages of the pandemic the CCCP was praising its citizens for taking action -on their own- and barricading their towns roads off to seal themselves inside. While the US was crying "its just a flu" china was urging physi al distancing. And dousing city streets in chlorine.
They closed down The entire country. OF COURSE the numbers add up. The decrease in industrial emissions prove this in itself.
Im not arguing this any further.

Blair or whatever your real name is. Do some math before crying. 11 million in 10 days makes it 1.1 million a day and ~46 thousand an hour. Even if all resident of wuhan are queued up minimum of 15 min is taken to do the test per person. there will be 11000+ such queues will be required to test. This math is good enough to show how you and likes are fooled by CCP

It's important to put into perspective what the phrases "high" and "low" mean when discussing prevalence. For sample pooling to be a net gain, the prevalence need only be south of, say, 10%-15%. It should go without saying that if the prevalence is 10% or more, testing is the least of your worries. At that point, people should be sheltering in place.

Prevalence will vary from region to region, but in the US the prevalence of COVID-19 has not risen above 1%.
