A country of a billion people I'm sure they must gather in some way.
China and Italy did reach severe points yes, although not intentionally.
People won't mess with the Chinese authorities - you've raised an interesting point. The UK isn't equipped to enforce such a situation - look at the London riots for instance. Amplify that and what do you have?
However the UK public services being unable to enforce such a situation doesn't mean that a quarantine isn't the most effective way to manage it. Simply that we're a nation of fools who think we know better.

I used a similar line with the Scottish Greens yesterday.
