China Records no News Coronavirus CasesPosted by Wumbei Bright on March 20th, 2020 China has reached a remarkable stage in their fight against the Coronavirus pandemic. In a post published on Chinese news portal CGTN, it is stated that “for the first time a nation of over 1.4 billion people where the outbreak hit first has recorded a day with no new domestic cases on the Chinese mainland”. It does mean that China is in a unique global position. In a digitally-connected world, scientists can collaborate and learn from the experiences of others. It’s not just about government policy though: it’s also about practical day-to-day healthcare management. There are two key areas where China can be of assistance to the rest of the world: firstly, in terms of practical expertise about handling the virus. We have already seen teams of Chinese doctors working with the medical profession in Italy. Secondly, given China’s huge manufacturing industry, we need procurement of essential equipment and supplies to fight this pandemic. Like it? Share it! |
