That's like an abusive husband telling his wife to quit complaining when he slaps her because the neighbor's wife is sporting a black eye.

Many videos. From limited positive results to 26,000 in one day.

What is going on?

Much worse versions are coming. Lock downs will be the norm world wide clyde as millions die. Just is just the start of what's to come.

Mandates and lockdowns are not coming back. We will not comply. Period. They know these things are destroying the supply chain over a virus that is not particularly harmful...this only proves they are either inept or trying to collapse the global economy with some agenda in mind. Hold strong and fight back...civil disobedience for starters, violence if necessary. No self respecting police officer is going to arrest people/fine people for lockdown orders and if they do, shoot them...or leave and move to an area not infested with authoritarians. Still removing an authoritarian from the gene pool is ultimately good for the species.

This virus basically only kills the elderly and obese... If a person stays boosted they generally do okay and survive if they are higher risk. They do need to stay boosted because protection wears off. If they don't, that's on them. Something sinister is going on here when we have plenty of boosters available and they are still pulling this crap...if that happens. It probably won't here in the US in most areas. We have vaccines (novavax) that are effective and present few side effects that the FDA is purposely dragging their feet on....why? What is the agenda here?

Very true, what China is doing is a real lockdown, the US had lighter restrictions than even Europe but they like to complain about draconian measures.


Some areas have spiked over 50% in the US, I see where some areas have gone back to indoor mask mandates. So far the virus is much milder and hospitalizations have not increased.

Bull, omicron is like a common cold. China would be far better off letting it rip through the community to build up herd immunity because it’s relatively mild even for unvaccinated people (and their vaccines apparently don’t work very well).

What is their plan now? Never allow anyone to travel to their country? Because they allowed it to spread across the world and now it’s endemic everywhere. They aren’t keeping this virus out unless they want to hermetically seal off their country from the world.

It is easy for you to say-letting it RIP THROUGH THE COMMUNITY.

Omicron was milder than the prior versions but it most certainly caused an increase in hospitalizations back over the winter, mostly in the unvaccinated.

You planning on locking yourself in a bunker the rest of your life?

However will you get your Starbucks?

You can only shake your head when a member of the laptop class tries to define what a “real lockdown” is.

At least at this point there is a vaccine, my point is take it or don't and take your own chances.

I warned on this forum well over a year ago that it's easy to count COVID deaths. It's not as easy to count all of the damage done by locking ourselves away. Increased substance abuse, mental health issues, kids developmental issues, financial ruin, suicide....not good stuff.
