The disastrous implications of lifting Zero-COVID in China
www.wsws.org
The objective laws of viral transmission mean that any shift away from a Zero-COVID elimination strategy carries with it the potential for the situation to quickly spiral out of control.

(note: while WSWS (trot site) uses CCP instead of CPC, they generally have good takes on China and support China against US imperialism)

(note: to clarify, this article is in support of Zero-COVID and sees the lifting of the policy as a grave mistake)

(note: i do not necessarily support all the shit wsws says i am not a fucking trot)

    Not really. Even now if the west wanted thet could do a 4 weeks close down and covid wold be done. Either way you need a 4 week closedown to fix things.

    The difference is psycological. In that if you se a slow increase in death rates youe are not as shoked as when there is a sudden death glut. Wich is what moved western hoverments to action in 2020. The corpse cart going down the street looks really bad. Even if you are in a neoliberal hellhole.
