Many news outlets are also going after China's zero-covid policy and implying that they're getting left behind by the rest of the world. No discussion of the lives saved or failed responses elsewhere on the planet, just discussions of the scale of lockdowns (as if it's a bad thing). Recently someone here shared an article that cited pilots, chambers of commerce, and diplomats about how the quarantine rules are taking a toll.

You can get a pretty good sense of how much these outlets value human life, particularly compared to profits and xenophobia.
