    Didn’t we do this before and it was called a ‘racist’ policy ?

    I have a question. If it so bad over there in China. you know with the usual 1,000,000 cases daily, 5000 deaths daily, why dont they just lock it down again? Oh yeah, because the people have had enough and will be out in the streets protesting again. Cant have the World see that.
    I hope Americans are paying attention.

    I am literally messaging my friend in China right now. It’s up to over 9000 deaths a day. He says it’s mostly elderly people. Hospitals and morgues are overcrowded much like what the US went through.

    I don’t see China shutting down again, but that’s just my opinion. I think they know they have to go through this because the whole zero cases/lockdown is just not realistic.

    If it was that serious China would have locked down already. 9000 deaths a day is completely out of control. Either your friend is not being truthful or he is being misinformed like the rest of us.

    He’s being truthful. It is out of control because this is the first time that they have stayed open throughout the entire pandemic.

    9000 deaths per day isn't as bad as the worst days in the USA per capita. It would have to be 17,000 per day in China to equal to worst day in the USA (4k per day in 7day rolling average).

    That said, I doubt China would do an about face again to lock down. It would be too embarrassing for the leadership to admit they are wrong. Also, I doubt anyone knows the real number of deaths per day. The country is too spread out and neither the government nor media would really want to figure out the real numbers. I would not be surprised if the real numbers are worse than 9000 deaths per day.

    I thought the CCP stop releasing daily infection and death number last week? A concern for the rest is the world is they won’t be sharing those numbers nor the new variants that will almost certainly emerge.

    Ps sadly, 9k death per day might even be low if their vaccination rate with mRNA vax is as low as assumed. China has ~5x elderly population of US.

    You are confused. Trump campaigned on banning Muslims from entering the US and he did try to do that shortly after taking office and again in early 2020.

    Many criticize Trump’s poor and late response to covid but not to the covid travel restrictions (in fact some said it was too loose and too late).
