China Covid Curated

David

Chinese authorities spent an enormous amount of money trying to keep out the virus when that money would have been better spent on obtaining better vaccines and treatments and expanding intensive care units

Even if death rates do rise, it does not mean that the sacrifices made were not necessary. People should understand that these measures were taken to protect them, and that the authorities were doing their best to keep them safe.

If deaths do spike as high as some estimates suggest, some Chinese people who suffered under the strictures and deprivations of the zero-COVID era — once viewed as necessary to preserve life — may begin to question those sacrifices, fueling further resentment against health authorities they once trusted.

“Humanitarian catastrophe” sounds like a bunch of sensationalism for something that was far worse everywhere else imo
