However, Omicron is a joke. Yes there will be dead old-weak people but it's not a lie or a western trick that Chinese economy will get into recession if they don't manage to contain shortly and effectively Covid and at the same time make sure Omicron won't make a new wave after a couple of weeks/months(impossible?). The pain on the economy from lockdowns is far far worse than the pain from Omicron. Just look at the Chinese PMIs, crashing hard. (Delta was a completely different beast).

The easiest way out of this is to make vaccination mandatory for people over 75, open the economy, let it spread and then problems are solved. Living in Norway I can assure you that we have no pressure on our hospitals, even though we still have dead old people with Omicron, but really just a few, nothing more than the usual actually if you see the excess deaths statistics. No masks, no measures and the economy is booming! There is no hidden truth and tricks and I really wish all the best for the Chinese people. China is amazing, they manage to mass-test a whole city on a single day, it's really easy for them to vaccinate all these needed and then let is spread.

Btw, European industry is really struggling with high gas prices and costs and now is the time for the Chinese industry to get the whole pie. It's a reality that you order a new Mercedes today and you get it delivered after several months! It would be amazing if Nio, Xpeng, Saic that already are here, could replace all these orders with readily available ones. But I just read that NIO closed it's ONLY factory. I hope you get what I mean.

lol, for unvaccinated people 1-50 years omicron is almost like flu just a little worse. For vaccinated this range is increasing to 70 years. People which are 80+ years are over their average life expectancy so they might die soon even without the flu or covid.

90% of deaths from all versions of covid if I remember correctly were for people 60+ in Poland.

The pandemic is over. In April 2022 going with lockdowns is only a political decision, that destroys the economy, and I speculate that going with this kind of policy in 2022 might prevent some deaths from covid, but deaths might increase from other factors, like a bad economy, or not healing other illnesses.
That's just rubbish, covid like normal flu brainwashing in the west is only because the west has surrendered and willingly let people die from this, especially the old and vulnerable. Economy over human lives will not convince majority of the Chinese population. Especially as China is still capable of dealing with outbreaks.

I find it ironic that Chinese govt would force lockdowns/quarantine but would not force vaccination on everyone, particularly among elderly people most likely to die. Why isn't the vaccination rate 100%?

This was HK's mistake, almost all 9000 deaths were elderly people without vaccination.

And they are threatening China everyday to decoupling :rolleyes:

And their own mismanagement of Covid-19 and the Ukraine crisis did not caused global supply chain and inflation problems ? So fix their own issues first before telling others what to do.

Besides, I will throw every Covid-19 advise into the trash can if they do not mention anything about the impact of human life loss in China. This is outright malicious intent.
