So this response is okay? How can you say for sure this response even works? How sustainable is it?
How is it not an absolute violation of inalienable human rights? How can you even call human rights “inalienable” when your government is willing to toss them out the window for some respiratory virus?
Do people still think Covid is some kind of airborne Ebola or something?
People have lost their minds over this. It is scary how willing humans are to commit an atrocity like what is happening in Shanghai when they are pumped full of nonstop over the top fear.
Covid myopia is worse than Covid.
- chasd00 4y agoseverity of COVID or the proper response to it makes no difference. Zero Covid Policy is a _policy_ from the authorities. Changing it would mean admitting the authorities were wrong. That's not going to happen. human rights, health, spread of covid, none make any difference. The only thing that will make a difference is when political circumstances arise allowing the Zero Covid Policy to be modified without appearing as weakness.
- shadowpho 4y agoNone of our rights are absolute. The government can and does take them away. The question becomes more of what's a good reason to take them away, and saying no good reason is misguided.
- spookthesunset 4y agoI am hard pressed to think of any scenario where it is okay to strip people of inalienable human rights.
