[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]

There are far more costs to the Chinese approach than simply being bored in their apartments for a few weeks. Covid is being prioritized over all other medical concerns.  And if Chiba truly cared about its citizens it would have developed or accessed an effective vaccine.  Of course there is fear of overwhelming the health system when even your vaccinated citizens aren’t all that protected against hospitalization/death relative to the unvaxxed.

The US hasn’t been perfect on Covid by any means, but since last spring the majority of people dying from Covid were unvaccinated. Choices have consequences.[/quote]

Both approaches are untenable extremes. We need safe yet not freedom-crushing middle ground.[/quote]
