The state will be damned than let reinfection or long covid in China get reported on. E: hell, there are tons of folks in China who believe that COVID is a one and done deal.

I know you can get Indian antivirals, but they got a grip. I am not looking forward to being told COVID is over by my coworkers because I mask in a week.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:They saw that the US was pretending that covid was over (even though it obviously wasn't) and went "Wait, you can just do that? Aw poo poo, open up the borders" It helped that Zero COVID was waning against Omicron and Foxconn/Apple gave the CCP the College of Corporations speech from the movie Network. E: the protests last December as well as seeing the world cup with attendees not wearing masks didn't help either. Okuteru fucked around with this message at 11:32 on Feb 6, 2023 |

Strong Sauce posted:dude who wrote the original WSJ article CNN uses as a source is the coauthor w/ judith miller on articles about wmds About as expected. It's like how the author behind the Cockrane Review on masks, which claims that masks are useless against disease, is an antivaxxer with ties to a libertarian think tank, which helped author the Great Barrington Declaration (basically a letter to government officials advocating for herd immunity). It sounds like a conspiracy theory, but goddamn.

CaptainSarcastic posted:Something I said to someone the other day is that I have a hard time understanding how people over a certain age can fall prey to anti-mask bullshit when we all watched M*A*S*H, St. Elsewhere, and a metric fuckton of medical procedurals that followed after that. What do you see surgeons do? WASH THEIR HANDS AND WEAR A MASK! The idiocy of people who just blow past all that conditioning is staggering. There are doctors more than happy to tow the line on everything going back to "normal", especially with the government officially giving up the ghost on COVID, more than they already have, in May. It reminds me of the Dollop episode on Joseph Lister, a British physician who discovered that basic hygiene and antiseptic procedures would greatly decrease the mortality rate of his patients. His colleagues were hostile to his ideas because, apparently, doctors like their status quo.

Haven't gotten it yet. I'm in China, which has adopted the herd immunity "Covid is Over*" shtick. People are still masking, but most expats are not. I'm the only one still wearing a n95 every time I step out my front door. I also got my hands on enovid spray, which I think helps. There is an influenza wave going around, which the CDC has dismissed as "immunity debt". In a lot of ways, the US and China are more alike than either party wants to admit.

So China recently announced that they are disturbing their version of mRNA vaccines, but they're not the bivalent ones. The American embassy announces if you're looking for the bivalent booster, your best bet would be to go to Macau or Singapore and get it there. Very cool, thank you US government. Aren't the bivalent vaccines outdated at this point anyway?

Bad Purchase posted:and surely these publicly funded vaccines will be free for all, or at least sold at manufacturing cost Last I heard, the estimate after all emergencies end is about $100 a pop. Gio posted:mentioed it before but my wife is pregnant with mo-di twins (single placenta) which makes her pregnancy high risk, necessitating weekly scans. everything is good but today the woman checking us in for our ultrasound appointment felt the need to remind us the mask policy had changed and we didnt need to wear our masks. It's a combination of trying to power through the belief that COVID is truly gone because of no masks and the cognitive dissonance of seeing someone wear a mask with that same belief. Everyone has turned into an a angrier version of the lady from Avatar: the last Airbender. The one who says that there is No War in Ba Sing Se.

That's still like 5% or so of the population being infected a week. My colleagues, students and people I know across China are getting picked off one by one. I'm in Shanghai. People are still masking in the tube, in hospitals and most service workers wear masks, but numbers are abysmal. Paxlovid is available, but you need to be over the age 60 or immunocompromised. The only other ways to get it is if a) you're a CCP member or b) find some shady contact where you pay am exorbitant amount for a product you may not even receive
