    There are also fewer hospitals now than when the pandemic began, particularly in rural areas. In 2020, 19 rural hospitals closed – the most in one year since 2005, when data first began being collected.

    Remember when the pandemic first started and China built several hospitals in next to no time at all?

      It's really fucking irritating because we had SARS and MERS (which are both coronaviruses fairly closely related to covid, especially SARS-1 which could under some criteria be essentially considered a Covid variant.) and epidemiologists were screaming at everyone that this was going to happen and literally the only country that planned for it was China.

      We got so fucking lucky that the version of Covid we did get didn't have a 25% death rate like MERS.

    hahahahahahahaha fuck capitalism, fuck america, fuck joe biden ahahahahahahahahahahaha dumbass fucking asshole country ahahahahahahahahaha eat it!

    Thinking back to just yesterday, reading that shit about Joe Bidet threatening China with "retaliation" if they didn't let USians fly in and get everybody sick, because shitass crapitalists in NATO countries are desperate for China to fall apart as much as they are. No Joe, you and the crapitalist economies of the world will suffer for the people you have allowed to die, and China will overtake you and the other subhumans in NATO.

    Only economy to grow in 2020! Probably did better than the rest in 2021 as well, we'll see when the info comes in. Sure does help not to murder the people you depend on for everything!

    Things aren't going to get better under these worthless neoliberal pukes, so I can only try to be happy for China and the global South as capitalism breaks its own back. I hope the rest of the world wipe their asses with the remains of NATO and the US Empire.

      That'll never not be funny to me

      "Oh, you better let our diseased swine in. Or else!". What the fuck are you going to do. Do you want to try and start an embargo against the only place you get your shit from? Good luck getting your Dick Sucker Portable for $6.50 landed anywhere else. I'm sure there are better examples but it's such a clear indicator of how weak the US has gotten that another country can just tell them this publicly to get fucked.

    Marx didn't consider... oh wait, yes, he definitely did. Contradictions of capitalism strike again. The only winning move in capitalism is not to play.

      I have been informed that you can, in fact, spell communism without the second i in iconumi.
