I fear we’re looking foolish to the rest of the world. And we are. Foolish, I mean.
Daily photos of hospitals “overrun”. But they’re not. I mean not really. It’s all “patients” who are not patients at all, but people who have tested positive but have been told for two years that if they’re positive they must go to hospital, coz that’s what Zero Covid policy sez. So they go to the hospitals. Where there’s no space, so they wait outside in 8C weather, raining, looking miserable, perfect photos for the “crisis”
And now, because a 4-year old girl died with Covid, everyone is freaking out, “the virus is brutal and can affect us all”, and all. While young deaths, tragic as each is, remain, thankfully, vanishingly rare. In the UK one in two million chance. ADDED: a person who knows the young girl’s parents tells me she had been suffering from encephalitis, nowhere mentioned in the press reporting, which specifically said she had had no other illness.
I’m sitting here in Discovery Bay Hong Kong witnessing that mental breakdown of “Asia’s World City”
Enough. Back to watching the Gold Coast Targa. Younger me would do it.
