Motherfucker no!!! When there’s an outburst of infectious disease you don’t want unity!! You want isolation!

And calling for unity after the years of unnecessary strict zero covid policy is like telling a group who ran 4 marathons back to back to get up and run some more.

Xi wastes the time and patience of the last years not vaccinating the population. He did this to the country. Rather than to work with the rest of the world, he painted the west as disorganised and that the Chinese’s approach was superior. Well now you’ve painted yourself into a corner. Too proud to use better western vaccines, as it would be an admission of failure and policy.

Huh? Even with vaccination. 1 million deaths in US. I repeat, 1 million.

If China did follow the west, causing 4 million deaths. People would bitch and moan anyway. Whatever choice they make, there are always haters.

I honestly think it was a smart but hard decision to delay opening up. Virus do not want the host to die, they also want to survive and spread. So they mutate to a less lethal virus. Old and frail will have problems tho.

It is also smart to wait and see how the vaccine performed. Vaccines were rushed during development, so who really could predict how it performed against covid over time.
