They should have used “non-negative” instead of “positive.” At first glance of the title I thought “What? The Python mod operator never return a 0?”

Kids addicted to gaming -> bad family relations & bad grades -> decreased productivity & unemployment -> social unrest -> people revolt against the communist party.

I'd argue the fact that CCP solves problems at the source is exactly the reason China didn't crack when people thought it would.

Good observation I'm Chinese. And I usually belong to "liberals brainwashed by the west" category on the Chinese internet by the way.

Do you think Chinese politicians are superhuman who know things before anyone report on them?

Xi Jinping had no problem locking down cities after he learned the severity of it. It's ludicrous to think he knew it in December but somehow decided it was a good idea to wait till it spread to the whole country to do it.

Any source for that?

Google doesn't give me any result if I search "武汉 肺炎" (Wuhan Pneumonia) prior to December 30. December 30 was definitively the first time it appeared on the news, and when it did, it quickly became the top news in about a week.

We have a real-world experiment going on right now - East Asia vs. the West. The result is clear despite other variables like population density being very much in the west's favor.

Western countries most likely still aren't testing mild patients.

SK and China went for full containment: every single positive case is hospitalized and close contacts are quarantined in hotels so few cases are missed.

While in New York, hospitals are focused on saving critical patients. If you test positive but have mild symptoms, you are usually let home anyway so it doesn't really make sense to test most people who would be taken very seriously in Asia.
