> I should also point out that most people in the US face similar conditions to those in Wuhan. The extent of infection is not known, and therefore protective measures are not in place. We have been actively discouraged from "buying masks" and told that they are ineffective.
Not exactly. I'm hopeful that differences between the typical American lifestyle and the typical Chinese lifestyle will help make the epidemic less severe in the US.
Americans are more "spread out" than Chinese: we often drive personal cars instead of taking public transit; our homes are freestanding with more private space per person; our public spaces are often less crowded, etc. I think open offices are even more common in China. Hopefully that extra distance will help.
