>harder to force people into quarantine

I don't think that's true, case in point being the (eventual) Chinese response in Wuhan, which appears to be extremely effective (if you trust their figures). It's all about government determination, which is mostly missing now, just as it was then, based on the article.

You don't even need to trust China. Look at Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea.
