It is meaningless China is just finding out what every other country in world already knows. Lockdowns will only work for so long. Australia 30,000 cases yesterday, New Zealand 20,000 cases yesterday (omicron certainly seems milder though as New Zealand claims only 2 new deaths yesterday. They both stayed tightly locked for a year and a half. China is just coming off of the Olympics so that might even be the plan to start reporting honestly on the number of cases. Now they can blame all the foreigners for the outbreak. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

Hospitals and morgues are overflowing, with bodies left unattended in hallways and in rooms with living patients. Health care workers report burnout and low morale as they work 80 hours a week. And nursing homes are being ravaged, with low vaccination rates among older people driving Hong Kong’s Covid-19 deaths per capita to the highest in the world, according to Our World in Data." The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

Can anyone explain why China’s vaccination rate is so horrible amongst their elderly? “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

None of that is true according to 'Worldometers' stats, my go to site since Covid started. They have been accurate for 2 years and show Hong Kong as 118th in deaths per capita in the world. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

South China Morning Post "Meanwhile, the Hospital Authority reported a record 249 coronavirus-related fatalities in the past 24 hours, involving patients aged between 39 and 105. Of those, 165 had no vaccination records, 41 had received one dose, 39 had two and four had three." "Hong Kong health experts warn numbers will not be falling any time soon as city reports 26,908 Covid-19 cases and 286 deaths | South China Morning Post" https://amp.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/3170363/coronavirus-hong-kong-case-numbers-wont-be-coming Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

| Tanko Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 0 Posts: 1988 | They're being hit with a sub-variant of Omicron. Better hold on to those masks. Really really good news for the democrats. Order another 200 million mail-in ballots for November. Good news for Biden. To slow the spread, China put 37 million people under lockdown, which caused the price of oil to fall from $109 to $95, due to the drop in demand. Fill your tanks while you can. |

Now that we are fixing the changing the clocks problem. We should just do away with in person voting and just go 100% mail voting or internet voting. All my contact with the govt is via internet or mail anyway Apply for unemployment, apply for social security, get Obamacare, pay taxes, change my legal address, get my titles for my car and RV. Voting should be no different Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

If only we in the U.S. would adopt that train of thought. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |
