A sudden outbreak of chikungunya virus has swept through southern China, with more than 7,000 cases confirmed in Guangdong province since July, prompting local authorities to roll out public health measures reminiscent of the strict COVID-19 controls.

The mosquito-borne illness, which causes severe joint pain, high fever and rash, has hit the city of Foshan hardest, fuelling fears of wider spread across the densely populated province. Officials have moved swiftly, isolating patients under mosquito nets, tracking medicine sales through real-name registration and unleashing drones to detect hidden breeding sites, all in a bid to halt transmission before it spirals out of control.

I would be interested to see what people do for the next mass health issue like COVID. Most people have come to the realization that it was blown out of proportion and ended up being a massive power grab, so I think you'll see a lot more pushback on the next one.
