I'm not under doom and gloom, just that if China can't get a handle on the virus in 2 months, when it comes time for the great Chinese new year migration there won't be a way to stop millions of cases from occuring. Or equally worse social unrest generated from village distrust of city goers as we've seen earlier in the pandemic.

We need to temper expectation of what China can realistically do against something that's akin to a force of nature at this point. Not everyone in China is well off enough that they can live under strict covid restrictions forever.

This.
It's the same thing if you die out of hunger or out of say cancer because you can't go into a hospital because you can't get out of your house. Or, Heavens forbid- if civil disturbances/revolution happens- that will make wonders for well-being of Chinese people.

Did Chinese gov provide financial assistance or jobs，for those who are affected by lockdown？Yes or no？

Yes, and they also did it for everyone by making the economy stronger. They didn't only give a little superficial push for those affected. China is the teacher who teaches people to fish and fills the lakes with spawn; America throws people dead fish with a note to vote for the GOP. Idiots angrily ask China, "Did you give me a fish? YES OR NO??!!"

I was exactly like you at the beginning, I prevent to meet family and friends. I was quite happy with the no COVID politic in Taiwan and China. I was really proud of it, when someone asked me about the situation in China. I said no COVID in China.

But after 3 years and 3 Lockdowns I change my mind. I'm sick of it.

That's called fatigue. You might be sick of it but other people whose parents would die if they contracted COVID or those who would be hospitalized and suffer long term effects need it. Some of them don't even know it because they think their lives are miserable when they can't go out. Then, maybe one day, they'll know it because gramps died, dad can't move in the hospital and they are still having trouble breathing despite getting COVID 4 months ago. Or maybe the CCP will protect them from it even as they raise up little signs and run their trash mouths about those who kept them safe.

I always took care of my parents, but at the end they get COVID before me.
Still haven't a clue how they get, because they stay only at home and we brought them every week food.
Since then I still haven't COVID. I wear mask in public transportation if I have to use it, but usually I use my own car. When I see someone coughing I keep the distance. If I have a family gathering, then I take the COVID test voluntarily, by self-payment. Means I'm not totally careless.

They say in Chinese, "Be a good person to the end."
Overseaschinese said:
If the world want COVID get vanished, then the whole world must stay together and go in Lockdown all of the same period of time, but if only China wants to keep it. It could always comes back, due the illegal immigrants at the borders.

Thanks to the West's carelessness, that's not an option. But we can wait for COVID to naturally attenuate until it won't cause mass deaths like it still is doing in America.

These people just don't understand that any reopening would bring deaths which is unavailable no matter what. When Hong Kong decided to reopen, hospitals just let many elderly died. It is the only way to cope with a surge. Letting the most vulnerable to die to free up more hospital beds for those who could have better chance of survival. Many twitter comments still try to deflect the blame and think the West can do any better. I would kindly remind them of what happened in 2020 and 2021 when they need to rent frozen trucks to store bodies.
