Not a bad start. A similar sense of humility would be appreciated here in the west too from politicians and public health officials. For misleading the public about masks, school closures, random lockdown rules for thee but not me, mode of transmission, vaccinations and it’s efficacies among many others. But the ruling class is too worried about its image and message it signals to its most benevolent donor class. To start gaining credibility you have lost, it’s useful to acknowledge you were wrong. I think public would understand we are all humans. But alas our ruling class is too arrogant and dismissive to do that. Ever. And that includes NYT for shamelessly bashing Covid as “the disease of the unvaccinated” as little as a few months ago and continuing to gas light and divide the public over a disease that is at its endemic stage.
