4. Shanghai is fed up with zero Covid.

From a Shanghai expat who is in misery:

“…yep the cautious tale after this, which I am certain many many will perish, though numbers will be suppressed, is to repeatedly communicate Zero Covid to a highly propagandized society…folks believed. For many elderly, they believed it would never come, thus rational hesitancy on getting vaccinated - no perceived risk. There was even jingoistic rhetoric here how the mRNA vaccines were not safe, because they were not made here.

Still to this day, its an inhibitor to enter China on a work visa if you have a mRNA vaccine - the Sincovac/Sinopharm are the preferred jab due to their “superiority.” Though on all intl peer reviewed studies, the evidence shows the direct opposite. Looks like the pandemic will end in the place where it began, then a transition to endemicity. Of course after societal and economic pain that will be damaging here for many years to come just as the US, Europe and Latin America have endured.”
