China Uses Animal Disease Control Methods on Humans to Maintain Covid-Zero: Dr. Sean Lin

Xi’an is a city of 13 million people located in the west of China. Since December 22, the city has been locked down because of a new round of covid outbreak. The Chinese authority claimed victory this week in its fight to contain the community spread. They used a new method called societal zero out that means the government moves all close contacts to the infected people to quarantine centers outside the city, thus those left in the city will be safe and a zero-covid status can be reached. In this episode, We will show you some footage of Xi’an under massive quarantine, particularly how the Societal zero out effort was carried out by the city authority. After that is my interview with Sean Lin, former lab director of infectious disease at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research.
