The Chinese leadership have gone mad. To think when the pandemic started China was being accused of starting it deliberately for it's own gain.
How can you expect citizens, even brainwashed ones, to tolerate endless lockdowns? For what? They must have data that shows this strain is less deadly.
Zero covid is just taking citizens towards civil unrest. Crazy.
I did wonder if this may overthrow them.
I sometimes go days when I forget about covid. Its something disappearing into the past.

We are due to go to USA in August, ( 8 of us ) we haven't had any boosters for a year, does this mean we cannot go?
I had my booster recently so hadn't checked but looking at it online this morning it seems that its not necessary. You just need proof of the original vaccination. Although if its not till next August I'd double check nearer the time.

I thought the only reason people bothered to test any more was in order to get out of going to work (or kids parties)?
Just on the travel one - I've done 7 EU countries in the last 4 months plus Kazakhstan. Haven't even needed to upload my vaccination anymore.
I'll get the 4th booster in the next few weeks to ensure that if anything changes I can still travel for work, but it really does seem like most countries aren't worried anymore.
Good for them, it must've been a shock for the government of West Taiwan to hear the word "no" for once.......

See the loons at Indy Sage have gone a bit quiet over China's zero covid policy of late, the one that they were previously lording.
This lot wanted UK schools shut down until we reached that unachievable target.
It's not just the Indy Sage mob that had the loons, this creature,

Agree Del ….. She’s a flaming communist, wanted restrictions in place forever. Thank god she’s no longer advising the government … now WHO’s problem.
The equally vile Christina Pagel and Deepti Gurdasani are her acolytes and have been positively promoting China’s policy. If folk wanna wear masks in all settings and maintain a safe distance from others, fill your boots. For me …. I want life to be normal again.
All these scientists never really had a platform before the pandemic, then they get their 15minutes of fame and some seem to can’t let go.
Bat **** crazy whats happening in China at the moment, those poor people.

I saw someone wearing a mask on the train yesterday and was honestly surprised. I can't remember the last time I saw one.
Yeah same, started to see a few more in recent weeks on the train and even a few in the office starting to wear them (will add that those in the office wearing them are Chinese)

They may be vulnerable. Suffering from cancer or have heart problems. Not every disability or illness is visible.
