This is a new Siri's off live conversations, trying to make sense off this weird moment that we're in Corona virus.

様態の副詞

Everyone suddenly changing how they lived their lives.

We're all trying to make sense of it, and it ain't easy that much we know.

We're trying to make sense of this together in the way the only way that we know how, which is by having wise humans coming on, talking to each other, listening to each other they're trying to learn from each other.

But we can use this moment to build community together, and that's what we're trying to.

So this is being produced by a virtual Ted team scattered around New York, currently one of the epicenters really of this pandemic s Oh, it's definitely scary time for people here.

I'd liketo welcome to join me in my co host here, Whitney Pennington, Rogers.

We're gonna be looking a little bit at China's response today.

When news surfaced about a strange viral outbreak in Wuhan, China, at the very last days of 2019 I think A lot of people were confused about what was going on there, and in the months that followed, we learned more about the disease that's now known as Kobe.

We watched the situation in China quickly worsen and in the most recent weeks dramatically improved on.

And I think as all of us around the world grapple with how we can contain and control the spread of Kobe 19 there are a lot of lessons we can learn from what China experienced and how they responded.

Though we're really thrilled to be joined today by the CEO of the South China Morning Post, Gary Liu, who's here to share his perspective on and insights.

And I think before we dive into things I love to hear about just how things have been for you personally and your loved ones.

I'm working from home like much of Hong Kong.

I'm actually actually self quarantined in an apartment here in Hong Kong because there was a confirmed case in our workplace s over the course of the last week.

Plus and likely for at least another week.

Plus wth e entire organization has been distributed and working from home.

You know, when when Hong Kong got its first confirmed case, I was actually back in the United States with my wife.

We were taking a small break in the Rockies and we came back to Hong Kong pretty soon after that.

Make sure to make sure we got back in the Hong Kong before the airport shut.

And at that point it was all of our family in the United States and friends texting us and warring about how things were in Hong Kong as thieves.

Situation in China started escalating and people were sending us or trying to send the supplies, masks and sanitizes stuff like that.

New York City is at home, so we certainly empathize with what you guys we're dealing with.

I'm going through with City and we're seeing our friends and our family back home in New York and California on Dhe, checking in on them, trying to send equipment and materials back to them.

So the script has flipped actually pretty fast over just the last couple of weeks.

And, you know, I think that's actually a really interesting place to start.

And probably a question that a lot of people who aren't in China have.

You know, I think from the outside looking in, it seems, is it What's happened in China is kind of miraculous that to go from, you know, you have a country with more than a 1,000,000,000 people there to go from as many as 80,000 cases toe nearly to nearly zero new cases.

Now, you know what can you tell us about how this happened to help us understand the current situation in interest?

China's been dealing with this for several months now.

They have gone through several different phases.

I think we need before I jump into it there.

Couple of caveats that are really important to make The 1st 1 is that we're still parsing what happened in China.

Uh, the information system, as everyone knows is still relatively closed.

And so a lot of the information that we're using to piece together what happened in China is still not fully complete.

And so with every passing day, every passing week is more information that allows us to retroactively.

Make sure that we get the picture of what happened early on in those early days at the end of 2019.

And there's still a lot of love that's happening today.

Even though I think the information sharing is much more open than it was early on, there's still a lot of stuff that we need to parse on.

The second important caveat here is that I think learning sometimes suggest that everything China did was right and good and and hopefully other countries can can can take it and apply it.

China, of course, did a lot that was writing and we walked to the timeline.

The decisions that they made, that that kept the Corona buyers from really exploding across the entire country and really limited to one province and mostly one city But there were also many, many missteps.

And those are things that I think the world can also learn from.

Most importantly, China should learn from because most of these thes what I think those of us who were professional observers would call missteps are because they're systemic issues with the country because of governance, lack of free information, flow, stuff like that.

But I think the timing of how China progressed from First case too now has been has been fascinating.

Yeah, I mean, and so we know now that in Hu Bei province they live lifted, officially lifted the two months locked down on beer.

Do you feel like this is the right decision to make at this moment?

I don't think I'm the right person toe to say whether it was the right decision, but it certainly this is This has been a progression off decisions, and I think that they've been sitting on decision for quite some time, uh, behind itself, which was the where the pandemic started.

It was the first epicenter on the major epicenter.

Hunt is opening up in it on April 8, that's right.

Now the schedule on this is really what we're in now is the third off.

Three phases from the first discovery of the virus and hunt.

Now April 8th will be about 11 weeks after behind.

The city got completely shut down and who Bay Province got shut down.

And so, for those who are in a shelter at home kind of situations right now in the United States and wondering how long this gonna take in one they've been, they've been locked down for 11 weeks and on Lee now has the Chinese government decided they're ready to start letting people move freely around.

And to your point earlier, about some of the awful missteps in terms off reporting, they're still reports now that we might not be getting wth e an accurate number of cases that were singing in Wuhan or beyond that we're hearing some people say there are no new cases, other people saying that they're actually our cases.

Do you feel like there's There is accurate spread of information about the current state of the virus in China right now?

Generally, yes, with the caveat that it is based on the Chinese government's definition, and this is one of the problems right now that even the World Health Organization is struggling with Is that the definition of what is a confirmed case?

What is an infection is different from country to country.

As an example in China, the folks that tested positive but are asymptomatic we understand now that they're not included, since every seventh, they have not been included in the official numbers or the very least.

On February 7th, they changed that definition and they're not included in those official numbers.

And that could be, you know, another 50% on top of the numbers that we're seeing today.

So that's what we've found our reporters have.

I've gone their hands on some classified government documents and government data that suggests that 1/3 off total actually positive tests are asymptomatic and therefore not included.

I don't think that this is an example of the Chinese government trying to hide information.

This is a definitions issue which countries have been debating and people are doing it in different ways.

But like I said, there really have been three very distinct phases we're in the third phase that I would I would call recovery and rehabilitation rehabilitation being the rehabilitation of China's image.

But the first part was discovery and a lot of denial.
