Conditioned idiots who can't see further than "Doh, keep out the Commies" are always 1st in line on these threads. It's also no surprise that the Covid conspiracy and plandemic theorists have made themselves absent from this thread. They are generally of the same ilk. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid is obviously not as severe in most other countries as it is now in China. The zero covid regime was actually way too effective for too long. So a lot more people have lost their resistance to the virus. In addition, the Sinovac and Sinopharm vaccines were not as effective as any of the major western vaccines. Also, in China for some reason the elderly have a very low rate of vaccination. And they are the group most at risk from covid. China could have purchased more effective vaccines from the west. The leadership chose not to. This is what happens when scientists are overruled by political ideologues. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what happens when scientists are overruled by political ideologues. It's more to do with blanket lockdowns resulting in a lack of any kind of natural immunity. Repeated exposure to previous variants (cross immunity), helps with b- and t-cell immunity against current variants. Most Chinese have none of that. They should be thankful they are getting hit with omicron and not delta. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article speaks for Thailand as a whole, while not many locals benefit from Chinese tourists like they do from regular ones. Many do not want them here. They aren't overly keen on Westerners in many cases...since Chinese are helpless tourists and need guides and attractions, transport and be fed directly, I still contend they effectively are a major benefit to Thailand.. it is evident by how much attention they give to getting them back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
