you're missing that China initially suppressed info abt this virus, which caused it to spread. had they reacted immediately, we might be in a much better situation rn
China was able to hijack Covid virus too perhaps?
Even with vaccines, Covid still exists.An easier explanation is that China is a relatively poor country that can't afford quality healthcare, and the dictatorship can't lose face by acknowledging widespread infection and poor outcomes.
China was handling it after 2 months of spreading ( hurray censorship). This isn't happening anywhere else in the world.
Just watch china. Its 2 months ahead in time. Right after lockdown, traffic jams are back. Though borders are still closed. But watch them. In case the outbreak returns.
China, the most populous country on Earth, reported 12 cases yesterday. They achieved this through a ruthless and unyielding lockdown that lasted many months. You may not believe their stats but they are having concerts unmasked in Wuhan. If you want to stop the virus from rebounding you have to eradicate it completely.
It's over in China - has been for a while. I guess they did do lockdowns right.
I think you are mistaken to lump China in those countries.People are constantly underestimating the Chinese relationship with contagion. I guarantee that China would not be able to hide any major covid outbreaks. Word would escape to outside relatives.Chinese people are extremely averse to contagion, coupled with a deep surveillance infrastructure and strong authoritarian government they are in a solid position to hold covid at bay.
Nothing indeed; besides China having put 20m+ people on lockdown, 5m having fled the cities possibly carrying the virus, it having already reached Europe, the US and Australia, doctors on the ground reporting over 100k infected, and the fatality count racing past the hundreds. Enjoy your breakfast.
The virus is subsiding in China because they took massive preventative steps to prevent the spread of the disease. Not all countries are taking such extensive steps.
