Indeed, but equally there is not yet any concrete evidence that the quarantine measures have worked in stopping the spread, only delaying it (which is the short-term objective).
The test of whether quarantine has worked isn’t while the quarantine is ongoing, but after it’s ended. We won’t be sure of that for a while. If, for example, cases start to rise again in China once the curfews end, there’s a much bigger problem. Obviously, it goes without saying that quarantines are unsustainable on a mass level.
