You're truly one of the cringiest posters on this site. Do you have any self-awareness? Or memory?
My local ice skating rink was a morgue for a couple of months in 2020. People don't die of a "common cold".
Refrigerated truck trailer in my neighborhood. Couple blocks away. And we weren't one of the hardest-hit neighborhoods, either. Plus my otherwise-healthy sister, who got infected before vaccines were widely available, was *this close* to death. That was a scary time.
Were you absent from the world when it had 5% fatality rate? Since the pandemic began, we've had major advances in harm reduction via vaccination and improved clinical treatment. Even now, COVID is magnitudes more deadly than the common cold, which has a <0.01% fatality rate.
Since ending their zero-COVID policy due to country-wide protests, an estimated 250 million people in China have caught COVID-19. That accounts for almost 20% of China's 1.4 billion population. Just in December.
If anything that’s probably an understatement. My gf’s parents and grandparents both got it there in the past week (boosted with the Chinese vaccine which seems less resilient than the American ones) and she said just about everyone around them has gotten it as well. The zero covid policy was definitely a tinderbox.
Dump her now, bro. Otherwise you'll be paying for her 'rents and every other relative to come here and sponge off you and the rest of us.

What world do you live in where those are the only to options? Is this how you see everything? Generally curious. When picking your training for the day there are only two options: all out until you collapse or power walking 16 minute miles?
I don't trust any government, and wouldn't want to live there with their weird social rules. But the Chinese make great stuff for cheap, especially electronics.
It's only a matter of time before Microsoft and Apple are buried. There's just too many of them, too willing to be hard working nerds.
Probably lots of malware and hardware back doors in my Chinese stuff, I should learn how to ferret it out.
The total infection number sounds right, and it will continue to climb for a while.
I don't know if any vaccination prevents infection, does Pfizer do that or just reduce severe cases and deaths?
For the death number, it's because the government changed the definition of "die of covid". The real number is way higher than that, as we all know already.

Were you absent from the world when every death "with" covid was reported a death "from" covid? We've lived through the most ridiculous non-sequitur belief in history.
Remember when Andrew Cuomo was the CNN darling and they aired his press conference Every. Single. Day? And he said the same thing ad nauseum Every. Single.Day. Temporary morgues. Temporary hospitals. Even had mercy ships standing by. Cuomo also famously said (paraphrasing) “Send me your respirators and we’ll send you ours when you need them.” it can legitimately be said that all that was “good planning” but it ultimately wasn’t needed. Let’s not conflate the planning with what actually happened.

There's nothing wrong with distrusting government. Your problem is the crap that fills the vacuum left by that distrust.
250 million cases is huge and almost unbelievable, but my wife has family in China. They all have it. Her sisters, their spouses, kids, their in-laws. Everyone. She doesn't know anyone in China right now who doesn't have it.
No meds are available and the hospitals are only taking the most desperate cases.
I wonder if the Chinese can VPN into some of the brilliant US based antivax youtube videos that we right wingers enjoy in this country to "do our own research". That should clear up the problem and help the Chinese rest easy knowing their natural immunity is all they need. They can also ditch the masks as being oppressive control methods that don't work.
