#2This is a good reminder that COVID isn't over. I am surprised to read there's guards at the front of people's neighborhoods though. I don't know how I feel about that.

COVID is pretty much over, lockdowns and mask mandates are being lifted around the free world. However authoritarian governments will likely continue to use it as a lame excuse for years to come.

Seems a softer[0] touch than in 2020.

China also has much less naturally acquired immunity than everywhere else, and (mysteriously) refuses to make that up with vaccines—it’s not just an excuse, unlike in those authoritarian countries where immunity has already been built up so a lockdown would make a much smaller difference.

#7Bags full of people's pets that were gathered due to COVID concerns (it looks like still alive, though uncertain if the plan is to kill them):

#8There's no point in doing this, COVID will spread until everyone gets it at least once.
You just want to slow it down not to overwhelm hospitals and that it's. And if you immunize everyone there's very few hospitalizations.
Just make vaccines available - you don't even need to mandate them, most people will take them, and that's good enough.

China might be the only society treating people and other animals equally, then

Covid, the disease, should be over for pretty much everybody except for people with very unusual health problems. Most folks are either vaccinated or just not that concerned and living with what they think is an acceptable risk level.
Covid, the dumb bureaucratic reaction and endless money-grift, may survive quite a bit longer.

Do you need somebody what to tell you to think about a nightmare dystopia?
