Question:
Why can't America do what China does to combat coronavirus? Is it against human rights?

China's lockdown rules are extremely strict.

Everyone is forced to stay home and wear mask at all times

They disinfect every inch of their country every hour air and ground and walls and ceilings.

Harsh punishment for people not following orders, no warnings.

America is different, people still go out, no one puts mask on, cities still dirty with no one bother to disinfect the ground or air.
Many people from new york now trying to escape but they might bring the virus to another state.

I think that's just because people get jaded to top-down rule.  If a place is riddled with lot of harsh punishments about practically everything, then it is kind of hard to prioritize what is important and what's not.  I think that down in the South we have enough of a spirit of cooperation that we may just overcome this thing.  We ARE improving or handwashing techniques, we ARE following the guidelines, and staying at home, cooking our own food, avoiding contact, etc.  Initially we were told to not wear masks if we were healthy, I asked, "Would it create a ripple of panic if a bunch of people saw me wearing a mask in public?"  The answer was no, they don't want healthy people creating a shortage for healthcare workers and the chronically ill.  "Oh." I said, and then didn't try to wear a mask but I kept the one that's been folded up in my wallet since about August of 2019.  Now they're saying maybe you SHOULD wear a mask, then somebody else will come on t.v. and say you shouldn't...one will say that it's effective another will say it isn't.  Hopefully this will be a big nothingburger, that's the goal, but it really is up to us isn't it?

  I would not trade what personal freedom we DO have for the ability to mobilize as a nation the way China did.

There are only 4 states that don't have some sort of stay at home order. So it doesn't matter. We're pretty much in a nationwide shutdown.



The Federal government is leaving the virus up to the states. Containing people in their respective states would be a job at the federal level because they would be using the US Army.



Also, our government had been saying the masks don't matter only sick people and health professionals should wear them. I think it's because the government knows there just isn't enough masks because they're starting to change their attitude on that. Which goes to show our government does lie.

Come on. There are a lot more important problems than Corona to worry about. we have to end apartheid for one. And slow down the nuclear arms race, stop terrorism and world hunger. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless, and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights, while also promoting equal rights for women. We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values. Most importantly, we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people.

People forget China is a Communist country, there is no true freedom to do as you please in China like we take for granted in the USA, an example of that would be the Chinese Doctor who disappeared after speaking out against his government as to the extent and seriousness of the virus, this is where liberalism will take us if we are not careful, in America, you have the right to be an idiot and not use common sense, one of two things happen here, state law will mandate the rules as outlined by the President, and each state is charged with enforcing special rules during national emergencies....the other option is to put your loved ones at risk by being an idiot and possibly your own life at that.

When COVID19 was still just a local Chinese provincial epidemic the Chinese did their damnedest to make sure that  word of it never left that particular province.



And,



As it migrated from the Provence they did their dead-level damnedest to make sure word of it never left China,



while allowing literally thousands & thousands of exposed & infected Chinese Nationals to leave China and NEVER said a word about it until virtually every continent on the planet already had a living-breathing dose of COVID19 shoved deep up the Global Wazoo! 



Yup! the way the Chinese are dealing with it is Draconian to say the least, and you can be sure that there are more than just a few human-rights atrocities happening in China as well. 



And that would include but not be limited to the irradiation of provincial populations with mobile crematories on big military trucks since if there is a country anywhere in the world that can actually afford those kind of loses & even willing to sustain them it would certainly be China.



And it's stupidly Naive to think they've got it all under control simply by washing the streets., or that anything the Chinese say about it can be believed or taken at-all seriously unless you prefer to believe the Chinese's assertion that the entire viral event was somehow perpetrated by the U.S. Military. 



In all practicality, short of a vaccine everything that can be done about it is already being done until the virus eventually burns it'self out.



Except one thing.



Whether COVID19 was a naturally occurring event that was deliberately allowed to spread from China to the rest of the world,

Or,

A Biological Attack deliberately deployed by the Chinese & calculated to look like a natural event.

                                                                                                                                                              And 'That' would of-course be NATO & the UN along with all the effected Nations of the world mobilized against China to demand their Unconditional Surrender and reparations to all the injured nations of the world.                                                                                                               But naturally most prefer to blame Trump for everything because it's just allot easier that way.

Yes, you’re correct with regards to the extreme measures taken by the Chinese government and leadership. The Chinese people don’t have the same level of freedom as we have in this country and their government takes advantage of it as they are not sensitive to human rights or individual freedoms. This virus originated in China and was kept secret for three weeks while their people died before the world found out what was going on and now China is accused of an accurate reporting and they’re trying to recover their image by helping other countries out now. Inaccurate reporting of true death rates in China.

Not everyone has a face mask. How can someone wear a face mask if there are shortages of face masks?



I looked into one of my online accounts that I use to buy items online, and it's sold out. I even went to a paint store, and asked about their face masks. They had a few face masks left, but most of it was sold out.



I have my own face mask, and I can reuse it. My face mask can be cleaned, and it's not a disposable face mask.



I seen some people outside wearing face masks in my country, but not everyone is wearing it.



Anyway I do go outside, and I plan on eventually moving into my own home.

China is under dictatorship type of leadership.  



They are stricter because unlike our American leader the Chinese president actually cares about his country and as a result the spread over there is slowing down faster than it is in the USA.  



The USA does not have that kind of leadership at this time so it’s more risky here.

 Do what China does? You, like 80% of America wants to hand your freedoms over. News flash, the virus doesn’t go away just because we do. We CANNOT spend the rest of our lives cowering away in fear in our homes! You want to do that then do it but it doesn’t mean I should have to. 



Wash your hands! Social distance! It’s not that hard. This is something everyone needs to address individually. We don’t need our parent government to step in and take any more of our rights. I will die fighting before anymore of my rights are taken away! And same with everyone else I know. 



So you want America to turn into the lying communist state that China is in, killing ppl, enslaving people to the government, paranoia and fear? Why do you want that?



If the governments REALLY cared about our safety against covid-19 they’d be coming up with real productive solutions instead of implementing  mass imprisonment and economy shutdown all of which is going too far. That does a lot more harm then the basic things we can do to combat this virus. Makes me think there’s another motive in this and they’re using coronavirus as a puppet show to lead the ppl along in fear.

Every year the flu kills millions of people world wide, and every year nobody makes a big deal about it. We know that Grandma, Grandpa, and those with per-existing conditions are at risk, so we try to isolate these people.



The government overreaction is probably due to China's initial inaction. China let the virus take hold by locking journalists up for spreading fear when it was initially identified. When China began to realize how contagious the virus actually was they had to take drastic measures to stop it.



Your government is reacting to that overreaction by the Chinese. It's a race by daddy governments all over the world to see who is better at defeating this virus.



Meanwhile in the rest of the world people are ignoring it and they are for some very strange reason not dropping like flies everywhere. What. A. Shocker.

What China did is borderline military lockdown, but their citizens are conditioned to listen so there were barely any issues.



Had you applied full on lockdown in usa it would not go so well - alot of people would get injured and arrested which is counter productive to isolating them from one another. Also China dose not care how it makers them look they have no desire or need to compromise so anything that needs to be done is done. Given how trigger happy usamerican cops already are you'd end with something akin to the early 90s LA "incident" (riots).

China values stability over liberty and America cherishes liberty over stability. So their world views are very different on human rights. China will kill any alarmist or punish those who who do not comply to stabilize the state. To them there is no God given rights. If a million people have to die due to their mistake of Horseshoe Bat virus escape from their virus research lab then lying about it keeps the stability. In both cases of deaths and root cause. 



In America the police brutality has a low threshold. When Governor Como threaten to close churches or synagogues permanently if they didn’t listed to him he immediately was viewed as a tyrant who revealed his true colors. All the good will he had was flushed down the toilet from freedom lovers. Unfortunately there are a lot of New Yorkers who buy the Chinese world view. They really believe the lies are justified.

Now our intelligence community has just proven they are lying. They've been lying from the beginning of the outbreak. Had they just told the truth from the beginning we could have avoided this pandemic and it could have just been a china problem. Now, China has a lot of blood on it's hands

You have to have social discipline to get the result that you want: Control of the Corona virus.

And the USA doesn't have such a social culture,the USA has a materialistic culture and that's probably not the best culture to have in a crisis situation,that requires everyone to work for the same objectives. There's no, all encompassing US social heath-care system as in other countries.This will result in many more deaths.

There's no pandemic emergency plan in the US to combat a pandemic, such as they have in South Korea, who have learned form experience with other pandemics.

But finally it's all political.What social heath-care provision there was in place, has been dismantled and the only pandemic plan that politicians can implement is,one that  -just leaves Corona to run rampant-  in the population.

The Covid19 a biochemical weapon, to depopulate the world. But they won't tell you that on TV.



The US government doesn't care about their people, all they care about is money, power, greed. They make stupid rules that don't even apply to the rest of the world.



Right now they could be helping out the American people by getting rid of the coronavirus, yet they choose not to.

China took steps: In late February as coronavirus infections mounted in Wuhan, China, authorities went door-to-door for health checks – forcibly isolating every resident in makeshift hospitals and temporary quarantine shelters, even separating parents from young children who displayed symptoms of COVID-19, no matter how seemingly mild.



Caretakers at the city's ubiquitous large apartment buildings were pressed into service as ad hoc security guards, monitoring the temperatures of all residents, deciding who could come in and implementing inspections of delivered food and medicines.



Outside, drones hovered above streets, yelling at people to get inside and scolding them for not wearing face masks, while elsewhere in China facial-recognition software, linked to a mandatory phone app that color-coded people based on their contagion risk, decided who could enter shopping malls, subways, cafes and other public spaces.

Are you asking your question from a Red Chinese propaganda room or are you just gullible and believe propaganda from those Chinese propaganda rooms  ? If the latter is true then you should know any information from communist China is to be suspect .

It depends what you value more, freedom or safety. The answer is different for everyone. Personally, I’d rather live free and die young, but in a crisis like this, less freedom means more survivors. If we went in that direction the advances of civil liberties would be frozen or reversed. It would take generations and a lot of conflict to catch up again. Either way, it’ll be very interesting—watching the great apes react.

I call falsehood.  That much disinfectant does not exist and never did.  Enough disinfectant to clean all surfaces every hour would be more than the output of every factory in China.



If you are a person from another country then learn to tell the truth even though YOUR government might not seem to care about truth so much.

Chinese Communist Party does not give a rat's rear end about human rights. Reporters, book publishers and lawyers are routinely arrested using trumped up charges of opposing the ruling party. Basically they can do anything to their people, including arresting millions and putting them in re-education camps.

America isn't like China - we don't force our citizens to stay home and wear masks at all times - doing so would be against human rights. 



We can't force our people to stay home at all times. Think about the ramifications. If that happened, commerce  and everything else we take for granted would come to a halt. Trucks and trains couldn't move; there would be no one to operate them - how would food,  medical supplies, and other necessities be delivered? You couldn't go for a ride in your car - gas trucks couldn't deliver gasoline to a gas station; assuming a gas station was open anywhere. When your electricity went out, who would re-establish your service - line men couldn't go out and work on the lines.  Factories would have to shut down - all factory employees would have to stay home. So would hospitals - medical personnel couldn't go out and go to work. 



A nationwide stay-at-home order for everybody would have to mean that doctors, nurses, firemen, policemen, veterinarians, and even the guy who repairs your internet and TV cable  would also have to stay home.

It's too late anyway, the virus in the US is out of control now, those steps needed to be taken immediately. Now according the the study I have done, almost 1 Million Americans will die from it.

Think I'm wrong, look at how Spanish Flu (1918) ripped through The US.



All you can do is stay inside except for making sure your loved ones are being cared for, taking precautions not to spread, or catch the virus from or too them.



My theory is also based on the American Mentality of false invincibility, which SO many have.

To an extent they ARE too strict.  But they need to realize that if people are to stay home then they need to figure out a way to get food, clothes, medication, etc to their people.  It's easy for a government to make rules, but it doesn't always mean it benefits the citizens of that country.  Our country is finding a way to stiffen the penalties for parents who let their teenagers/kids run around and to make them pay the penalty for it.  They need to do some things to keep us all safe.  The media has everybody scared in our country and now the shelves are empty of items like thermometers and wipes.  You can't find them anywhere.

America is an open free country with many freedoms like freedom of the press. It would be impossible for the American government to post phony Coronavirus death numbers the way China does.

China is an evil communist regime that routinely kills 'dissidents,' (they just 'disappear'). They have massive concentration camps filled with political or religious 'agitators.' They allow large numbers of their population to starve, so the 'elite government class' can keep up appearances and 'compete' with the free world. This is why people were slaughtering and selling vermin, bats, cats and dogs in open air markets just to survive. That is also the likely cause of the mutation that resulted in the now infamous COVID-19. It was once a 'non-human only' strain. Viruses don't cross-over to humans without significant unwholesome contact or 'engineering' in a laboratory, (China has admitted to bizarre 'fringe' science involving combining lower animal and human D.N.A. while trying to 'manufacture' vital organs for transplant). Either way, the odds of this happening without extremely unhygienic conditions, bad animal management or scientific 'help' are astronomical. 



China covers its true conditions and atrocities with Press propaganda, strictly 'guided' tours, (only to political 'liberals' and 'progressives' who support them around the world), and outright lies. Even after they were aware of the epidemic and potential for worldwide pandemic, they remained silent in order to save face for their nation.



China doesn't have ANY models worth following. We have absolutely no idea how many people actually died recently as the godless communist government cracked down in response to the virus. The only figures they are releasing are the number of COVID-19 deaths and infections. Since people were already starving, cutting off all access to food for months likely killed many more people. We don't know how many simply 'disappeared' either. 



America is once again a shining example of how to confront an enemy of liberty without abandoning liberty itself. We are working together to defeat it and our mortality rate from COVID-19 is the lowest in the world, (approximately 1.5%).

In the U.K. at this time, no-one is allowed to leave their homes except for essentials.  The police are stopping motorists to ask why they are out in their car.  Unless the are doing something essential, such as buying food/taking food supplies to housebound relatives or to deliver medical essentials they can be prosecuted. This virus is going to be difficult to conquer but will happen quicker if EVERYONE co-operates in every detail.

America can enforce these restrictions as well, they just haven't. Many other non-communist countries have enforced similarly strict restrictions. Actually, many US states and cities have already begun enforcement of similar restrictions as well. They just haven't yet. I suppose the difference, if there is one, is that China is able to pass laws much faster because leadership is more centralized. Also, China's punishment may be harsher due to the difference in culture. The Chinese government doesn't really see their people as having rights. That being said, the right not to wear a mask is not a protected fundamental right under US laws. America has enforced stricter laws during a state of emergency. Also, there's nothing stopping the government from disinfecting the streets. But I mean, we can't even get free testing out to the people when even third world countries have this capability.

There aren't enough available disinfectants to clean USA just ONE time, let alone daily.  I've been trying to get a bottle of rubbing alcohol and some hand sanitizer for a MONTH! There IS NONE!  I don't see bleach either, although I do have a gallon.



My city has 177 reported/verified covid19 cases as of yesterday April 1, 2020.  My county reporting 1700+ cases.  So it IS where I live.



The government has been more interested in impeaching the president since this SARS virus outbreak in bat-eating Wuhan, China in November-December 2019.



When the government loses a percentage of it's revenue donators, maybe the agonizing reapraisal will begin!



And with less enabling grandparents and parents, some young people are going to be feeling a SQUEEZE!
