Wuhan, the city at the center of the coronavirus pandemic, had the most tourists of any Chinese city during a public holiday in October.
I came across this headline and it felt a bit like stepping into an alternate reality. I knew they got things under control in Wuhan, and wasn't surprised to hear they completed a mass testing program for 11m people in just 10 days, but the idea that people are flocking there in droves now is completely nuts.
Obviously they're leading the way in economic growth once more, they have better control of the virus than any other country, and in general they're better prepared for dealing with situations like this.
Are there aspects of their success that we should try to emulate, and if so, what sacrifices should we be willing to make to enable that?
