So true. Saying China did a good job is like saying the USA should suspend the Constitution and do the same thing: Wuhan death fog https://www.dailystar.co.uk/

  > Saying China did a good job is like saying the USA should suspend the Constitution and do the same thing This is a ridiculous statement. China has done a good job on dealing with Covid and so have South Korea and Taiwan. Restrictions are all mostly lifted within these countries and life is mostly back to normal. They key to their responses is not that they are awful dictatorships. They were prepared, they have taken strong and necessary measures and their population voluntarily made efforts for the benefit of all even if that meant some personal sacrifices. The relative failures of many Western countries is due to, I think, lack of preparation, lack of leadership, and misguided refusal by many to make the necessary and quite limited personal sacrifices on the false pretext that they are a threat to personal liberties.

    China simply stopped reporting on corona once Xi realized the Chinese economy was tanking, which would threaten the stability of the CCP. Now he just has a famine to manage, but hey, if 50% population losses are fine (Mao quote), no biggie. However, their door-welding quarantine would work if you did it on a large enough scale for 2 weeks. But then do you weld-in the welders? lol. (Apparently the CCP delivered daily takeout to the weldees. We're not setup for that in the US.)

      dang, once again, can you do something about this rancid xenophobia. It has no place in a serious discussion. Thanks.
