Anyone else find american projection onto China straight up childish? This is like some kindergarten shit.
Everything, and I mean everything we lambaste China over we do ourselves like a hundred fold.
That study hasn't been peer reviewed yet.
Doesn't mean it isn't true, just it hasn't been vetted.
It also goes against previous results from a few different countries so it is probably an anomaly (not weird given how specific the study was, similar to that study which showed delta is, like, ridiculously more contagious, far more than previously thought, which had an extremely unrepresentative sample) and honestly I don't know why many people here are very preoccupied with finding "owns" like this, especially when it is really not helpful whatsoever with increasing vaccinations.
yes, it reeks of low "EQ" or sociall intelligence or w/e they call that thing
if something is bad in america, just use your imagination and pretend its worse somewhere else, and then all of a sudden, its not bad anymore
This has to be one of the factors keeping USians from radicalization surely. You don't have to pretend that capitalism is good, you just have to portray the alternatives as worse.
are they gonna seed the olympic games like they did the Wuhan ones?
First case of the lambda variant appeared in Tokyo during the Olympic games lol
Waiting for the sigma variant so I can up my grindset and get back to normal ™
We're actually seven variants away from a sigma variant lol, and three away from the Xi variant
:cope: China is so on top of their shit that it's not even like, a social threat anymore.
Oh honey there's only one political theory that gets to call itself scientific and it isn't capitalism.
Some schools in Florida started this week, with the rest next week. Line still going to go up quite a ways. With a lot more sick kids this time.
Lol, no. No. No. No. We're taking this to the stars, baby!
I feel ya. Got nieces and nephews starting in Florida right now. Staying with one of the families too.😞
american sees something american happening americanly in america: what are we a bunch of ASIANS?!?!???
Glad the free market west has science on our side.
What a perfect way to summarize a shitty post :chefs-kiss:
I mean China is doing bad by their standards, but that's like 140 cases a day. Florida added nearly 14 000 cases a lay, that is literally thousands of times worse than China on a case per capita basis.
I think with the advent of the Delta variant, zero-covid or covid free is impossible now. Even countries with good virus containment, like China, are adding over 100 cases a day now. The increased transmissibility of the Delta variant is the reason.
Yeah it's just completely unbelievable how bad Florida is. I have no idea, how my country with a 10% vaccination rate, is doing marginally better.
I think the mainland is at about 60 local cases, trending downwards from 100+ 2 days ago. Still too soon to tell though if it'll keep going down.
Lmao he's trying to cope by posting a bloomberg article about china's covid response
The idea that 1 billion people are successfully keeping something secret is not exactly realistic.
"If you truly believe China is that adept at censorship I have some aluminum tubes you would be interested in..."
Show them this New Yorker article about how China controlled covid. It's written by an American teacher who was working in China when it started. It's not a leftist article, by any means, but does give a good realistic account of how China managed to get it under control.
American states like Florida actually tried to hide their COVID deaths and were found out, because you can’t just hide thousands of dead bodies.
