China is seeing over 100 new cases per day and a few days ago someone died!
This is a major resurgence in the disease. I'm not sure how they will ma
nage.
Otherwise, Chinese exports are booming and other parts of their economy are
doing far better than expected in a major pandemic. This is very surprisi
ng given the nature of their authoritarian government. We all know authori
tarian governments are terrible at managing pretty much anything.
In China you are suppressed and denied freedom by the government's restrict
ive lock downs. In the western world you have the freedom to die from an o
ut of control pandemic.
I'm having trouble seeing the advantage to freedom at the moment.
Maybe we need more rioting? How about we get the Stop the Steal idjuts and
anti-vaxers together at the inauguration and take care of the problem once
and for all?

Some Chinese vaccine is already being distributed in Indonesia. There are a lot of people in China who would benefit from vaccination, and any vaccine that goes overseas isn't being used on them.

There are more takers for any Covid-19 vaccine around than there are doses, and nobody has any "spare" stock.

That's one problem with lockdowns: unless you can vaccinate
practically everyone, you can never unlock. The new version of the
virus is reported to be more contageous than the original, which makes
that dilemma worse.
The "ideal" virus would be hyper-contageous and not very dangerous. It
seems to be trending that way.

It always amazes me that some people can be so in denial about the facts.
Yes, China is having a resurgence of COVID, with infection rates of 100-150
per day, 2000 times lower than the US is seeing with a tiny fraction of th
e population.
The assertion that fighting the disease is hopeless because we would have t
o stay in perpetual lock down is absurd. China has not been in lock down.
They have infrequent surges in infection rates at levels which we can only
pray to achieve. Simply because they have the will to fight while the US
can't stop fighting each other long enough to even learn about the disease.

We have any number of viruses which are that way. The vast majority of peo
ple get colds without consequence other than a stuffy nose for a week or tw
o. Most people have CMV and many other infections that cause few symptoms
until health is so poor the disease can not be fought off any longer such
as those fighting leukemia.
How can one person be so ignorant? Unfortunately, it's not "one" person.
Nice speech from Biden. It's nice having a President who isn't in it to li
ne his own pockets.

People are still trying to tease out the origin

without much help from the CCP.
Until the Party can administer a couple of billion doses of vaccine,
they have to keep up locking or lying.

Trump administration propaganda.

If you make it plain that you are intent on pinning the responsiblity for the appearance of the virus on the Chinese Communist Party, you aren't likely to get their enthusiastic cooperation in the project.

China has developed it's own vaccines against Covid-19

the technology is old-fashioned, and the efficacy doesn't seem to all that good - if adequate. They are already being distributed. It may take while to make enough doses to make a difference.

The need to leave is suddenly much less. I'm not sure what makes me feel t

Besides, if we stopped all the off topic threads Larkin would be so bored,
he would have to start talking about his brownies or whatever it is that he

Yes, suddenly the country seems so much better!
