These two videos show how organized and committed China is to containing this virus.

Brief:

- Your temperature is checked before entering any store/restaurant/tourist attraction/(sometimes) leaving your neighborhood/(sometimes) at a road block. You must scan a QR code so your location is logged.

- Restaurant workers and public servants are suited up in light haz mat gear.

- Entire neighborhoods have literally been walled off with just one entrance where your temperature must be checked to enter/exit.

- Hotels have shut off central air to prevent the spread

- Ordering food is touch free

- Elevators have tissue paper so there's no direct contact with the buttons

- Offices can only reopen once they have a Covid-19 plan, hand sanitizer, gloves, touch free thermometer, masks, etc. Each employee must log how they got to work.

- much more in the links

The most striking difference is apparently the amount of testing China allegedly does. For lack of a better source scroll down to the graph in the middle here [1]. If anyone has credible data to confirm or deny I'd be interested.
