I fucking wish we'd lock back down and get free money and groceries from the government. This isnt gonna work for China. Omicron is too contagious, and even if they somehow managed to keep R<1 while under lockdown it would get back in the country afterward. Lockdowns made sense when there was either hope of totally containing the virus or a short term goal to achieve (e.g. vaccines, not overwhelming hospitals). Stopping the virus completely has been off the table for almost two years, we have vaccines already, and this Chinese lockdown is probably too severe for the hospital goal and theyll be in the same position theyre in now once they lift it. --- Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ! <cite>LordoftheMorons posted [p:961333931] in Politics C...
