After years of being told by CCP apologists on this NG that the Chinese government has handled Covid much better than the "Western democracies", it has become clear that their autocratic approach to the pandemic has failed .

It's too bad for the Chinese people that they continue to be under the thumb of these bullies.

Almost no one is venturing out even after an easing of pandemic measures. Cold and flu medicines are scarce, but food supplies appear adequate.

This is interesting in that when the Chinese government implemented strict measure to enforce stay home quarantine, the people began to complain after some time due to boredom and feeling of "imprisonment" at home.

But when now Chinese government relaxes all the restrictions except requirement of negatives in school, restaurants and hospitals, the people are now fearful of being infected with covid, that they now stay at home and reluctant to leave their homes except to go to work and to supermarkets and other necessary errands to do them.

This goes to show that reverse psycholically is working in that when you tell them not to go out, they will want to go out. But when you tell them to go out, they will not want to go out.

Hence, Chinese government has been too strict in not to knowing how in this aspect of thing to let the people decide on how they live their lives of risks in that if they got infected and died of Covid, they will have to accept their own destiny. The Chinese government should now remember it.
