[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like multiple cities are on total lockdown.  Is this just their Omnicon surge and the gov entrant is overreacting?  Or something else?

Given their population, they have no other choice. Halfa$$ job like US won't work for them. They need absolute control so covid doesn't get out of hand. And unlike US, central govt can do whatever they want. Good for them. [/quote]

Given their lack of good vaccines/vaccination, given their medical infrastructure (which is quite different than what we have here or in other developed countries), given the culture of sickness phobia that permits and encourages quarantines after 2 years, this is what China is continuing to choose.

Hong Kong is too, but they might not want to/be able to continue to choose zero covid.  [/quote]

I would never say "good for them" because the government control does not just manifest in the total lockdowns of millions. It manifests in plenty of other sickening ways.

But, it's true that they don't have the medical infrastructure to handle another Wuhan. And their vaccine is crap. So, lockdowns it is.[/quote]

Can they not purchase a better vaccine?  Or is the path they are choosing somehow preferable to that?[/quote]

Ego and pride pretty much. Yes it’s ok to sacrifice your population for nationalistic sentiment.[/quote]
