In authoritarian China you have to test negative for covid to do things in public places. It costs just over a dollar to do a test. Can you imagine the government shouldering such burdensome financial cost? What a crazy dystopia! :NOOOOO:
I wonder how long that level of acceptance can be sustained. What if, for example, just as COVID burns itself out enough that China can reduce restrictions, there’s a Monkeypox variant that’s equally infectious that necessitates restrictions to remain?
