(People who were diagnosed positive in Wuhan but had only mild illness were isolated in hospitals and were not even allowed to visit their families. Is this something other countries should consider?): Isolation is necessary. COVID-19 transmission can be controlled by isolating the source. That’s why we built a modular hospital and turned the stadium into a hospital.

I do not deny that my subordinates guess the boss’s point of view, but this can take time to determine where responsibility lies. Who is most likely to suffer if things go with private reasoning and speculation and the resulting troubles? It is users and customers.

(What’s the mistake that other countries are making?): I think it’s a mistake that people in America and Europe don’t wear masks. The virus is transmitted by close communication. Whenever you talk, you will need to wear a mask because the drips come out of your mouth. Many people have asymptomatic or pre-onset infections. If they wear face masks, they can prevent the virus infection.

A media attempted to interview the Secretary-General of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in China for two months. Last week, the Secretary-General was interviewed. He oversees 2,000 staff (one-fifth of the US CDC) and is an active researcher himself. In January, he was part of a team that performed the first isolation of severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19.

“I think this is” is a personal opinion. However, the personal opinion of a person in a certain position has even more effect. It is even a substantive instruction. It’s like an organizational culture. So, ideally, if someone says “I think this”, you don’t need to move.

Because it’s not an instruction

Even if it is a customary instruction, it is not a formal or standard instruction.
(The lockdown in China began in Wuhan on January 23 and was expanded to neighboring cities in Hubei. However, in other provinces of China, there are less restrictive areas. How do you adjust these? ): You need understanding and agreement and very strong leadership. You need a boss or coordinator who works closely with the field. They are key.
(According to Chinese researchers, the first case was reported on December 1, 2019. However, some sources state that the first infection was on November 17.) There is no clear evidence that the cluster existed in November.

Are you standardizing? In other words, are you aware of standards? Standards guarantee compatibility. Since the standard defines the error and precision, for example, mechanical parts can be widely distributed and used. When something is shared, standards are needed.
When we work, we need communication. But I think there are only two types of communication. One is communication where someone says it and someone else doesn’t hear it. The second case is when someone says that they haven’t said that and someone has heard it. In both cases, views differ between the parties. After all, communication is a conflict of opinion.
(What about other infection control measures? In China, thermometers are actively used in stores, buildings, public transport entrances, etc.): Yes. There are thermometers everywhere in China. You need to measure your body temperature as frequently as possible, so that no one has high fever.

Why is that? Because there is no standard.

One way to prevent problems in conversation is to document it

If you leave physical evidence, I wonder if the trouble of saying / not saying is reduced. But if there is no ambiguity in communication, you will be tired. However, trouble always arises from ambiguity.
As long as working is working, responsibility is hidden somewhere. Its responsibilities are unpredictable. So, those who try to escape responsibility use the phrase “I think this”. The instructions were not conclusive, only indirect personal views were stated. It’s not an instruction, but someone does something during working hours. In many cases, work starts without instructions.

During the coronavirus outbreak in 2019, Chinese scientists were reluctant to work with foreign media. Many of them were busy fighting infection, and responding to requests from journalists outside China was not a top priority.
(What can other countries learn from the way China has tackled COVID-19?): Social distance to infected people, especially in the case of respiratory infections, can help control infection. This is an important method. We took the “non-pharmaceutical approach” because there were no effective drugs or vaccines. Next, all cases must be isolated. Third, close communication needs to be isolated. Fourth, suspend public gatherings. Fifth, restrict the movement of people. These are the reasons for lockdown.
