But not wrong. Posters on this board constantly call for "true lockdowns."

Don't they have antiviral drugs? So far this variant seems pretty harmless.

Unless it's a drill for something else and COVID is an excuse

Are you now able to see what a bad idea it is? Should have been obvious.

China took a different aproach to Covid. They would look at the US and point out we've had over 1 million deaths from Covid, while China has had under 5,000.

There is a "cost" to both approaches. The Chinese approach means people are stuck in their apartments for weeks on end, and subject to draconian rules. The US approach provided a whole lot more freedom, but at the cost of over a million lives.

A million Americans died. I’m not judging China.

+1 I also have a friend in Shanghai - a US ex-pat teacher - and she's having no trouble getting deliveries. It's certainly possible that some people are having issues but it's not the whole of Shanghai.

There are multiple Americans in Shanghai on social media, and they say it varies from area to area. Some say they haven't been able to get food deliveries for days, but their friends in other parts of Shanghai seem to have better luck.

I can't bear to post the videos of the workers beating the dogs to death.

You believe the Chinese numbers for deaths? That's cute.

Pretty clear that China is using this as a way to seize power

That makes zero sense. Did they not have power to begin with?

No. China was a shithole until the last few decades.

I heard all the pets were being stuffed into bags but didn't know they'd kill them in such an awful way. That must have been some sadistic psycho to come up with that idea. How is it unchallenged by other officials as useless and barbaric?

Do what your government tells you to do. Do not ask questions.

This makes sense. You can’t just live wherever you want to in china. Similar to the USSR, you have to have permission to move and settle somewhere. You have to officially register.

You have to register your move in most of Europe, too. Just don't need permission to do it. Dont make more of that than it is. Americans register their moves, they just don['t call it that because the registery is decentralized.
