China And South Korea Offer A Glimpse At Life After Shelter-In-Place

Following two months of draconian social distancing measures due to coronavirus, citizens in China are able go out to the mall and to get a haircut. In Wuhan, considered to be the epicenter of the pandemic, public buses and the subway are finally running again. Meanwhile, in South Korea, people are going out to the park and eating out at cafes. Here’s what life in these countries can tell us about the United State’s own recovery after social distancing measures ease.

China And South Korea Offer A Glimpse At Life After Shelter-In-Place

[@kpluvmusic5876]

In Korea, those wrist bands are only for the people who broke the self-quarantine orders and agreed to wear them, not for all people who are being self-quarantined for two weeks. Your report is inaccurate.

[@RobAllbanks]

Dr Kim did say that you have to sign some sort of waiver in order for them to be able to monitor you, so yes, i agree with this comment!

[@tannedpotato5375]

People are coming into S.Korea as a shelter but they are violating the quarantine rules and spreading the virus again to the community so they deserve to be monitored hard. According to their local news, 61 new cases were due to foreign influx violating self quarantine measures

The wrist bands are for anyone COMING IN to China as well as those already there.... they have already been tracked via an electric system that monitors and keep records of their bank account, social media, social security # etc... and this was before the “outbreak” Orr “spread of coronavirus “ . So your statement isn’t factual.

[@casualsteps]

S. Korean here to share recent ground level view: Used to check the app everyday to see if there are new people infected in my neighborhood but I don't do that anymore. I just check the Kakao (it's like WhatsApp here) messages that the city sends out for alerts, if any. There's hardly any these days. School is back, but it's all online, even elementary schools. Devices are provided for low income families. My kid is a bit sad she can't meet new friends but kinda enjoying not going to school too. Not totally decided yet but it's likely that every family should be receiving around $1000. It's either a prepaid debit card or you can register your creditcard to subsidize. I have been working from home for about a month now but I am lucky to be in an industry less effected. Businesses highly intertwined with global markets and supply chain took the biggest toll, as well as small businesses with unstable cash flow. Had a colleague who had some fever last night and got tested this morning. Turned out negative but gave everyone a bit of a scare. The test was free and quick. Everyone is still wearing masks outside but we still go to the park, gym, get haircuts, cafes, and shopping malls. Nobody is buying more than they need. About a month ago, you were rationed 2 masks per person every five days. Initially, there was a big line but after the first week or so, no more lines. I was trying to send some masks to friends in the US but it's controlled so people can't make quick bucks on eBay. We just had a national election last week. You couldn't vote unless you had masks on and they checked temperature. They also gave out disposable gloves, which was a giant waste tbh. Life isn't really going to be the same but for most parts it feels "ok". Hope everyone reading this is ok too.

The South Korean government's methods seems to work for democratic countries using current technologies and simple common sense and if those who don't follow the common sense then track where they went using their phones, credit cards, CCTVs and social media to find where they've been and test those people that were there at those times.

CNBC is not reporting correctly(wristbands) South Korea's wristbands apply only to those who self-quarantine violation . The wrist band was decided by Korean vote. Korean tracking app : Coronavirus infected person information(movement, age) (Names, addresses, and other information will not be disclosed.) Korea's KCDC has mentioned it several times in the media. Through this information, Koreans were able to respond effectively to infected people.

No, they simply stayed in place for a few weeks, the government had masks and tests so now that the spread is down they can resume because they have measures in place. The US never followed strict guidelines, and is trying to reopen now while the spread isnt actually down, we don't have tests and are just now getting masks. China is also a communist nation that doesn't abide by right to privacy. Not sure this is something America should look to, I am not giving the government anymore power over me.

How can the virus, "come back" if it isn't gone?

[@jonathanpusar5931]

@@videogameboutique2196 true. None of the measures are saying the virus won't come back, but with sufficient testing and tracing we can keep it at bay so hospitals can at least treat whomever gets sick with the best care. What's leading to more deaths is the split ventilator situation....these machines simply were never designed for that purpose. What I don't understand is that the federal government released pretty clear and scientific guidelines on what states should do...and yet some states are effectively ignoring them and reopening anyway. Texas is having increasing cases, not decreasing. And you need 14 days of decreasing cases to even consider reopening. Seems pretty clear they aren't giving a F* about these rules. I hate to say it but the fed needs to be more authoritarian on states if they aren't going to follow these basic guidelines through funding penalties. Not sure why they aren't...

This reveals a lot of things about South Korea. They are of a highly educated and technology driven community so they can utilize technology creatively and there is much more public trust in science and that the government exists to serve them. The purpose of tracking where the infected people were to let people check and decide if they should get tested, no one really thought it was a privacy violation. I don't know why it's so difficult for Americans to understand that risk of death should overpower their "freedom" or "rights" I cannot believe they are congregating at protests against a virus lol..

In China, theaters and some schools are still closed. Students who are going to graduate have back to school in many cities, but the others still not. Except for this, almost everything has already come to be normal. You can go to parks, shopping malls, museums, scenic spots, restaurants, and libraries. However, the measures of managing and controlling are still strict, especially for the cities where have international flights and border crossings. For example, the people from oversea must accept 14-days mandatory quarantine and 2-times PCR testing. Besides that, you may also need to get 14-day self-isolation in your home and blood antibody testing in some stricter region.

Professor Gordon can't be more wrong in the end when he said the last sector to open should be large scale manufacturing. That *should* be the first to get back on track (as you've seen in China). Why? Because these sectors generally have a largest economic output per unit space. This means it's much easier for regulators and businesses to ensure high levels of hygiene to achieve a certain level of economic output. If you open up non-essential services like hair and beautiful salons and restaurants first, you end up with very fragmented industries with low economic output. It will be impossible to ensure proper safety standards across so many outlets, and the risk of a flare up in cases spiraling out of control is so much higher.
