Obviously it didn't work, and plenty rule breakers. It "worked" in china in the extreme when everyone was forced to obey. The concept of a quarantine is sound and will work 100% of the time if done 100% properly. The less proper you do it then less chance of success.
ah, but look at the chart puna provided
the two charts do not coincide...
Anyone who claims that any data coming from China re any aspect of SARS-CoV-2 is valid is a moron and/or CCP sympathizer if not advocate. Remember when WHO
AND Fauci
BOTH claimed they had been assured by their Chinese contacts in the medical scientific community dealing with the issue that SARS-CoV-2 was NOT TRANSMISSIBLE BETWEEN HUMANS. And they both assured the public that those contacts were reliable. Lying sacks of shit. The Chinese and WHO and Fauci.
Where did the shift from "social distancing" to "quarantine" take place? Nice try moron. Well, not really. Nothing you do in the area of rational logical "argument" is near competent.
All the charts from all the countries, states, and counties with differing "mitigation measures" and differing time frames of imposing and removing them, and with differing levels of "compliance", all show that the mitigation measures, no matter how well adhered to did not, and do not, change the rate of infection or hospitalization or deaths.
Go ahead, give the citations for three peer reviewed randomized controlled trials that conclude that "social distancing" (I don't care if you choose the European "distance(s)" of 3 feet or 1 1/2 feet or the American 6 feet. Three citations.
