What happens once China starts dismantling mitigations currently in place, given that the majority of the population is still naive to the virus? Is it reasonable to expect they can wait out the virus disappearing completely by tracking all active cases until they have recovered?
Yeah, I mean if they entered into another acceleration phase, that would be terrible. I suppose it possible another region in China not hit as hard still might enter one.
I guess we just have to trust they will keep things under wraps long enough.
To try to answer my own question: it may be reasonable, however the problem of imported cases from other countries not doing the same still remains. This can restart the epidemic anew.
