One word in the title speaks volumes about the whole scenario, and it relates to more than Covid !

 

Control.

do they not realize that this 11pm restriction serves absolutely nothing, all it does is inconvenience people who simply go out hours earlier, would it not be sensible to relax these opening hours and allowing some flexibility - ask any one of these ### why they need this 11pm closure and you see a blank confused face - anwser - because we can we don't need a sensible reason ................... and there is exactly the problem

There's no controlling covid, covid is clearly in control. China is learning this lesson right now - it will be a very long, painful and drawn out lesson for them to learn. But learn it, they will.

 

Any infection control measures they put in place will merely elongate the amount of time it takes for enough people to become immune so that it stops spreading.

 

Even if there were a million cases per day it will still take a long time, they say there might be a coming peak of 100k cases per day - that means it's going to take two years and what's going around in two years almost certainly won't be named Omicron - it will be something else.

 

The way I see it is that Omicron reset the clock on covid, when Omicron emerged late last year it was day 1 and everything started over. How long until that happens again?

 

I know people who got Delta, they thought that was it for them - immunity at last (ignoring the fact that they were double vaccinated) -  but no, these people also caught Omicron as well which was a minor 'sniffle' in comparison.
