Not surprising at all, but maybe what people finally realise is that covid mostly exists in peoples heads - sure it's a real infection along with thousands of others out there, but all this bullshit with masks and Rats and case numbers and hospitalisations only serves to keep the paranoia alive and massively over-egg the actual risk.
Closing this thread ain't gonna end that, obviously, but stopping wider reporting and allowing this now non story to die, will help hasten the end of the oppressive political restrictions China is foisting on it's people.
Plenty on here have been complicit in aiding those restrictions by arguing for their necessity and vigourously complying with them in the past and coming up with frankly dumb justifications like 'respecting local culture' - -It is however good to see that 2.5 years later they've now largely (f.i.n.a.l.l.y) gone silent on the matter.
