Well if China pretty much gets ostracized by the whole world like the Taliban did, then the comparison would become more apt.

Even seeing other patients' names when scrolling through to find your patient (for instance, if your patient has the last name starting with S, seeing all the other patients in the filing cabinet with S [if they aren't yours]) is considered violating HIPPA. Oddly, however, you can't sue someone for violating it, at least ime.

So we got a fucking retard from madrid that after being told he needed to be hospitalized decided to run for it like crazy and managed to get to fucking MALAGA before being detained. No one fucking knows why, he's getting sued and certainly fined. People from malaga are doing all sorts of jokes about it. Honestly you might think he was trying to escape the community out of fear, which would be stupid but can't be ruled out, but he got to MALAGA, like, that's a long fucking way away mate. He had plenty of closer choices, he even passed many on the way there, cops just tracked his car and sent news to each other till he stoped and then they detained him, so they took it calmly, he wasn't persecuted or anything.
We also got a total Karen in Navarra that decided to get into fights with everyone on the supermarket 8 days in a row and the 8th day the employees decided to call the cops. And it turned out closest patrol was the army, so she got tackled to the floor by two motherfuckikg marines. Kek.
On sadder note, first active armyman to die in spain (some reservists had died already but this is the first in active.) Twas a matter of time, really, but still sucks.
Also, we got 2 concejales (local political charges) that decided to party, against regulations and got caught. I haven't found where they were so I don't know what their political party is but they seemed lefties, either way people are clamoring for their resignation and with good reason, you can't ask people to stay home then act like you got a priviledge, they need to go, period.
Also Vox just tried to call for spain to be dissolved and give them (who let's remember are a minor party that doesn't have even a quarter of the votes) all the power, like Orban. Yeah... That's fucking retarded. They're basically being laughed at. Ehm... What did they just smoke?! Either way it won't work but wtf kinda nonesense is that Vox mah dude you were doing it better than the PP all you had to do is NOT FUCK IT UP! Oh wait there it is again, asking spanish politicians not to fuck it up.
And after what I explained @Male Idiot of why Spain is... different. Let me ellaborate.

The thing with spain is, it was unified mostly due to the Catholic Kings knowing the only way to survive foreign powers was unification. It is less of a country and more of a feudal defensive pact. Every region has its tradition, every region has its culture, every region has its language, and our regions have spent their entire existence fighting each other.
Cadiz for example was founded by the phoenicians, and has strong roots in traiding and naval construction, it's always been the least religious area of spain and indeed Carnaval, our most priced tradition, is devoted to Momo, GREEK god of sarcasm, but not even the inquisition could stop it. Cadiz was the most progresive area in republican times, and is the most open always.
Seville, our close neighbors and community capital, is the most RELIGIOUS bent. They were the capital of castille in the early days, before which thet were the capital of al andalus, they had the america's port, and as such they always had the missionaries running around, they're strong catholics and yet, in fact the church they have the most in common with is the orthodox, as their missionaries were lowly men and they shared a lot of culture with the colonies and they are the strongest penitents. So while they claim to be catholics they have little to do with the vaticans, and many would consider them heretical.
Yet Burgos is the real catholic capital of spain, that's where the chief bishop is. It is also where the most strong monarchic tradition exists, they're basically feudalists even today, and are so heretical their bishops have a tendency to critizice the vatican for being too soft, and at multiple points consider becoming a second pope.
Then we have catalonia, the area that had the most jews, and the strongest french roots (indeed their language is just the bastard son of spanish and french), they're a slimy, commerce minded, anarcho capitalistic region with heavy industrial focus and no regard for workers rights since most of their workers are andalusian.
Meanwhile their neighbors in basque country are hiperreligious, hypernationalistic mostly rural scottish-like brutes with no mind to progress and their own tradition, they were the last bastion of european paganism and they damned remember it.
And then we have the two castilles, castille-leon and castille-la mancha, they're actually very similar, being semi-rural and suburban areas, with a guild-focused past and strong architecture and metalurgy, and that's why their entire existance is basically a giant dick measuring contest as to which is the best castille. I'm not even kidding here.
Meanwhile Galicia is just a forested area with plenty of fishing and horrid weather and mountains most similar to norway in general culture. Mostly wanting to be left alone in their little corner.
And Murcia is where the most openly fascistic culture lives, being in the odd spot of being the only mediterranean coastal area of spain with little commerce, they're fully rural, set in their ways, extreme right wing and indeed most similar to hungary.
Granada, their direct neighbors, is where the moors stuck the most. And while the inquisition took care of the muslims, it left them the weird mannerisms, fruit based agricultural mindset, weird architecture, and tendency towards moorish culture, specially in the arts.
Do you see where this is going?! Spain ain't a country. It's the geographical equivalent of frankenstein's monster! It shouldn't exist! ... so why does it? Well it's simple really. Just look at the catalonian's plight. Recently they tried to break away. What happened? Spain told them if they did they would have a border like everyone else (meaning customs) and Merkel basically told them they would be her slaves. Which spain is but thanks to poorer regions they don't fuck us as much as they'd fuck them individually. So they had to reconsider.
Every time spain's thought of breaking, it's found france and germany fucking SALIVATING at the thought. If spain doesn't stick together, it dies, it's that simple. And that's the duct tape that's founded our brotherhood, survival.
Now. Combine this with our strong bend towards individual action and against centralization, and you can see how spaniards simply cannot and will not agree. Fuck, most of our regions were founded by knights that disagreed with their nobles and decided to take action on their own, most famously the Cid, and indeed the Cid best defines spanish spirit, he rebelled against his own king, but never against his country. And so despite our lack of agreement, that's not to say we won't help each other.
I think our actions in this crisis proves we'll happily give our lives for each other, our medics are doing just that right now. Tell cadiz catalonia is getting invaded and we'll be there knife in hand with no plan of action ready to help.
But centralization though? Nah. You don't give spaniards an organized standardized plan, you tell them what's going on and they'll figure what to do. I think the letters by hitler about the blue shirst best define this. Read the "legacy" segment on this wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Division
And you can see similar sentiment expressed by the russians about our partisans and forces in exile, and even by the brits, just not as clearly put in official manner. Because that's just how spain is. Spaniards can't really follow orders blindly to save their lifes, not in the long term, bark orders and they'll follow you until they start making questions, but once they do, they'll find alternatives. And so long as you learn to accept that, not a single inch of ground will be given. Not a single loss will be accepted. But don't tell us to do it "your way", that just doesn't work.

I agree with you in all ways. But the problem is he likely will win in court. Freedom to practice religion and Freedom of Association and Assembly are enshrined as our highest laws. The laws directed at the government, not the people. “The Government Shall Not Do...!” A lot of the Governors are assuming authoritarian powers that they have never been granted nor would they be so granted. Wildly unconstitutional powers. While an argument can be made that in the face of global emergency some sacrifices must be made, at the end of the day those books must be squared. The Governors who exceeded their authority must be punished, to prevent the creeping totalitarianism.

Four zookeepers have decided to self-isolate on the grounds of a wildlife sanctuary to make sure the animals are properly cared for during the coronavirus crisis.
That’s really cool, good for them. According to the article there are 1,200 birds and mammals who reside in the sanctuary so it’s certainly a big job to take care of all them. It must be really rewarding work, though. I’d love to take care of animals.

Oh boy, I'm soo happy that at the end of this we're gonna have slave trackers for all of us "citizens" because people can't fucking stop themselves from rubbing their faces onto public sufaces and have the manners of chimpanzees.USA
Curious how much your state and county is social distancing? How you compare with others? This massive location-tracking project company claims to have that data for the entire USA, and to rank locations based on how much movement has declined since the Wu-Flu hit. The nation as a whole has decreased mobility more than 40%. (archive)

We will see an end to this, or ar least an acclimatization. This seems very much like a war, and historically speaking wars are not quick.
I like to cope with incredibly uncertain times such as these by reminding myself that humanity has persisted through much, much worse than this. We still live in a time where we are better-equipped for this than any time before. Doesn't necessarily mean we're well off, but staying indoors is preferable to having your gangrenous limbs being sawed off with no anesthetic ala the Civil War or literally drowning in stinking mud in a field in France. I'd rather live now than through the Black Death or when untreatable, wasting tuberculosis came knocking. This isn't fun and people are suffering but we who are not sick can benefit from a little perspective. Helps me, at least.

It's completely off-topic so I'll keep it brief (for my paragraph-typing ass anyways), but if you're genuinely interested in doing something like that, look up wildlife sanctuaries in your area and offer to volunteer helping take care of the animals. If they're a facility that makes use of volunteers (which most of them do) then you'll get a call to come down to the offices within a few days, if even. Fair bit of warning, though: The majority of the work you'll do is refilling water and cleaning up animal shit / removing half-eaten carcasses. Eagles also have a tendency to bite the top of your head if you walk too close, so wear a hat.
If you want to get a foot in the door, though, volunteering at wildlife sanctuaries is a good place to start.

Interesting Reason.com video on the challenges of making masks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pT0l7ewptI
It seems like we'd be better off trying to mass manufacture masks to reduce the infection rate (Archive) than trying to mass-produce ventilators to try to shave 10-20% off the death rate in the most serious cases.
