Yeah. I live in NZ which was the very best of the COVID responses [that aren’t Asian] but then we just gave up almost randomly and now we have the highest transmission rate among the developed world
We made a lot of early sacrifices and now it feels like it was for nothing . We deserve being lapped by China but it still hurts
I live in Taiwan and we gave up for no reason as well. The only 2 possibilities is that the US forced us, or capitalists are worried about commercial real estate prices.
For real I’ve considered moving to China. They’re air quality is going to be better than ours in the future as they have a tremendous amount of nuclear and other forms of green energy coming online.
Ours started to pick up steam with a popular ex Prime Minister writing something about “opening up the economy” and now everywhere is experiencing labour shortages and people don’t want to go shopping because they might catch the plague.
Do you get special preference for moving to China? I’d love to do that myself but no connection or education
I don’t know if I get special preference or not. Yeah over here it was the same. All of a sudden switch to pro covid propaganda, with the same methods used in the US. Over mentioning of mile cases with no mention of long COVID. Same use of the mandarin equivalent of “endemic” (which is being used as a propaganda word btw).
