Kind of crazy how someone is calling this "sentimental and emotional". And claiming that, at "grand scale", "millions of deaths" and "probably tens of millions of cases" are prevented and the economy still going(, so it's fine?).
Yeah.... it's not really a big deal, just few dogs and stories such as:
- Hospital refused to rescue their own nurse who had an asthma attack, leading to her death (https://new.qq.com/omn/20220329/20220329A02CZK00.html)
- In another an asthma death case, an ambulance (carries another patient) drove away while refusing to offer any help to the person who was having an asthma attack (https://new.qq.com/omn/20220331/20220331A0DFA900.html)
- Here is a video of an elderly man crying in front of a hospital, because the hospital refuse to take in his daughter: https://www.reddit.com/r/China_irl/comments/tz74vk/%E4%B8%8A...
- The "neighborhood committee" (a community level management department) refuse to let a heart attack patient go to hospital. The patient dead as result: https://www.reddit.com/r/China_irl/comments/tztiu0/%E5%B1%85...
Those were all caused by the lockdown.
Let me teach you a Chinese word here, called 理中客, which is an abbreviation for 理性 (Rational), 中立 (Neutral) and 客观 (Objective). This is not a positive word, instead, 理中客 is a derogatory term describes people who disgusts their excuse under layers of reasoning that looked Rational, Neutral and Objective at first, but starts to break down upon deeper inspection.
For example, someone might apologetically claim that "Yes, there are pains, but in the end, most people will survive, so it's all good", which is rational, neutral and objective. But is it though? Why the pain essential? Have you tried something else? Have you learned anything from the good instances in the past two years?
I'm not an emotional person as well, nor sentimental. But if a policy is leading to such massive destruction, then objectively speaking it's a bad policy, especially when there are many safer and better ways to implement such lockdown. Using word such as "sentimental and emotional" to describe people who's currently suffering through this disaster is, logically, at very least, "weird".
I hope you learned something today.
