    I was in China during the pandemic. In 2022 everyone got COVID. Literally everyone in every big city.

    So they should have opened up after omega became the dominant variant. No point in locking people down when they lost anyway.

    It was a good response in the beginning, but they doubled down on it for three years

      No you weren’t and no they didn’t.

      In motherfucking WUHAN, when “let 'er rip” opened up, about a third of the people got COVID-19. (Source: It’s where I’ve lived since 2003; lived in Jiujiang before that.)

      But go ahead and lie about shit you clearly know nothing about. Your China Watcher friends will give you handjobs for it.

        You need to relax. You can just explain your points without calling people fuckwits etc.
