According to a documentary displayed yesterday in the TV, it looks like there are (up to now) 2 models to combat the propagation of the virus:
1) Chinese model, which is the same adopted in Italy and now Spain, quarantining everyone via an "alarm state" law. You can go to work only if needed, do shopping for food, but not go out of home for visiting friends, sports or fun. Only food shops can remain open, and a few other exceptions (pharmacies, banks).
2) The S. Korean model, which is testing lots of people and quarantine only for those that don't pass the test.
It looks like the S. Korean model is working, so either there are different tests, which are not reading the same, or something else.
Jordi, let me update some thing and then I go to bed.
In France, things change as we speak. It might be that tomorrow we get
even more closure (e.g. today 80% transport, but tomorrow might be 0).
That would amount to what other EU capitals measures in place, like
close metro. The issue in France was today about Elections. Democracy
is a fundamental issue. Emergency state of affairs means some strong
measures, some might not accept, and it might mean enforcement. This is
documented.
At my work place, I can tell that there were at least three
announcements even today, which is a Sunday, in plus than what we had
end of last week. Their stance is towards more and more telling
employees clearly to stay at home (rather than just recommending as a
good practice), except the critical persons (critical work). I need to
mention my work place, because it is for my work place that I
participate to IETF.
That tells me that among the models you mention above, it might be that
we in France might head towards a model that you say China, Italy and
Spain. It might be that we wasted precious days.
Or it might not.
Alex
Maybe someone from S. Korea can tell?

Jordi

This is absolutely correct. Hospitals here are trying to clear
out as many non-critical cases as possible, to postpone any
surgical procedures that they can, to stockpile supplies, to give
staff as much rest as they can, etc. They are expecting the worst
and anything that we can all do to decrease the need for care
across the entire population will help.
