Why are people saying the Wuhan quarantine is useless? Yes it won’t stop the spread completely but it will limit the leaking primary source of the virus. Easier to contain elsewhere with less incoming

Its optics / security theater. The outbreak is far more serious and contagious than what is being reported. Even in the peak of SARS, avian flu, etc, China did not do anything of this scale.

Quarantining 3 cities the size of NYC, spraying disinfectant on streets, building a new hospital in 6 days just to deal with the infected away from existing hospitals all suggests this is something we have not seen before.

Except that didn't happen with SARS. There wasn't a cure and obviously still billions of people running around in China. The virus just didn't have the resilience we thought and faded away.

I just imagine somebody putting a quarantine on NYC. Do you think not a single person would leave these 5 boroughs just because they turned off Amtrak and Metro North?

Comparing any US city and American mobility to Chinese Gov't control is comparing apple's and limburger cheese.
