Really? They've made it 2 years now with small outbreaks in the low hundreds of cases. It seems they are adapting and keeping up their quarantine measures just fine.

Look at the Olympics going on in Beijing right now. It's halfway over and hasn't caused a surge in cases. When Tokyo had the olympics this summer there were major outbreaks and rises in cases through the entire city, and Japan was left with a major nationwide surge in the aftermath of the games. It doesn't look like China is going to face nearly as bad of an outcome.

> china cannot adopt quarantine measures indefinitely.

But isn’t this exactly the level of control the government wants to maintain indefinitely?
