I know the way the Chinese handle Covid is draconian, and would not work in America, but they are really focused on long term health and the economy. Almost every other country is going to deal with a work force that has a percent of workers sickened by LongCovid and repeat cases of Covid forever. Ten-fifteen years from now they will have a country of healthy workers, and we will have a big drag on our economy.

Yeah right. If they gave a shit about long term health they wouldn't have spent the most critical early months of the outbreak in 2019 suppressing all information about the virus and persecuting whistleblowers who were desperately trying to get the word out. China created this entire shitshow; saying that they care about human life now, is absolutely laughable.

China's covid measures are about control not public health. Taiwan and SK both have higher population densities yet do not need to result to such heavy handed measures.
