I can’t understand it. Look at what Covid is doing right now. It’s fucking awful. Why couldn’t they just stay with Zero-COVID till everyone got vaccinated? Why haven’t they vaccinated everyone by now? It’s so frustrating. Who the fuck cares if someone assholes protested with blank paper? Just…why?

    US 7-day average infections: ~68,000

    China 7-day average infections: ~7,000

    Taking population differences into consideration, the USA is doing about 30x worse than China right now just based on infections. China’s line is also currently going down while the USA’s is going up. What am I missing? Like, yes, they might be chilling out a little regarding zero covid but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re going to raw-dog it like the USA.

            Well, there it is. In this article at least the Chinese CDC is acting like the American CDC. They’re basically saying that covid is mild now so let ‘er rip. I do hope that they change their minds if things really do get out of control.
