China’s “zero Covid” policy has a dedicated following: the millions of people who work diligently toward that goal, no matter the human costs.
Literally the first sentence. Meanwhile close to 1 million Americans have died.

I posted a few days ago about a coworker who blamed the pandemic on the "government takeover of healthcare" and then proceeded to rail against health insurance companies.
Americans' brains are 99% worms.
I'd say about half of people I know sincerely believe the government seized control of hospitals. They also believe California is fully socialist, that there are hunger riots all over the place in Seattle, and Joe Biden himself has instituted a program to hand American business to China. In their world, maybe a few thousand people died of covid and the rest just died of normal things.
I have no idea where they get any of this.
The systems people have relied on all their lives are failing, and all the alternatives have been branded evil since they were in preschool, but they still have to explain why things are getting shittier and shittier.
