> They’re saying we should do the stuff that China did, starting from the decisive action part

You do realize that some of their “decisive actions” included enforcing quarantine via welded-shut doors, right?[0] I don’t think you’re ready to handle the kind of “decisive action” that China took.

They only did that to people that refused to self quarantine.

Well, I guess that makes it alright then.

I don’t think you understand the significance of welding the doors shut... it means if they catch you outside you can’t claim you did it on accident. So, wink wink, they’ll cure you of the virus permanently after that.

Again, you’re not ready for Chinese-style “decisive actions.”

Don't worry about rights now, if you leave the door open and people walk about they will get even more decisive action from the virus, and gift the virus to others.

With the population it has, China could have been in a much much worse shape today were it not for the quarantine.
