It’s just a matter of the societal tolerance at this point. In the US, every thing is open, stadiums are packed, etc.
Maybe 1000’s or deaths a day is too much for some societies, but Americans are fine with life as it is.
Are you now trying to argue that it should be fine for China to accept the death of it's citizens in the thousands per day to who's benefit? And who's demanding such a retarded plan? Would we be saying this to ourselves if the U.S. and the west weren't experiencing a boatload of cases and a truck full of dead people a day and China is the sole country experiencing the U.S. cases?
Come on bro, you and I know the answer to these questions. Western countries would be celebrating and dancing metaphorically by boasting how "Democracies" are the best in handling the pandemic just as they had stated to tell themselves prior to Europe and America awashed with Covid-19 cases and death. How it assumed erroneously that whatever measures the Chinese government were doing was evil, draconian, and self-defeating. It practically begged the Chinese people to rise up against the See See Pee.
We would be having a daily white house briefing counting or tallying the cases and deaths in China pretending that America actually cares about the Chinese people by issuing a couple of statements that are nothing more than just empty feel good rhetoric with each and every statement ending with "God bless America and may God bless the people of China that are suffering from the callous disregard for human lives by it's own criminal government the See See Pee."
There would be enormous and successful calls for massive economic boycott, not just call for UN/WHO investigation but essentially will call for a change in government a.k.a. regime change. The situation am describing are not far fetch if the level of cases in China were to have been the same with the U.S.
It is very unfortunate for the west led by America that such tragedy didn't occur because that would have been a tragedy of monumental proportions for China and the Chinese people. Thats why I firmly salute all the heroic efforts that all Chinese people made and did to ensure that their country and government remains firmly in their hands and not with the hanjians, the Wang Jingweis, and certainly not with America.
China must do what it's best for her people and China. Who gives a flying bleep what the west demand or think of her when at the end of the day, the west don't want what's best for China anyway.
If it's fine for America and the west to let freedom ring for Covid-19 to reign free let them. China couldn't care less. It's unfortunate, sad, and tragic for the strongest country in the world that is America to basically surrender and let it's people die but it's their call and choice.
