I know people are saying Shanghai is a shitshow because of the local government. But do you think it might have been a bad idea in general to deploy such a harsh policy in the country? (asking in good faith as someone who would not mentally survive such long lockdowns)
It’s wonderful. I would say that China’s covid policy is what made me support the current government.
I am mentally ill and lockdowns aggravated that. I admire the harsh policies because it saves physically ill people’s lives. My “mental illness(es)” help me have solidarity with those people, I wouldn’t put my own health above theirs.
But if you think China’s policies have only been “long lockdowns” and “uwu #stayathome”, you are misinformed.
