I feel for the poor souls in China who will remain after the Olympics and have to deal with the inevitable lock downs that will come to maintain China's zero covid policy. I'm still thinking China knows something the rest of us don't. And the Wuhan virus lab (these people never stop) just discovered another covid virus in S.Africa named NeoCoV that can only exist in bats (hope they don't engineer that one to escape)... While unable to transmit to humans they say it would kill 1 in every 3 humans infected. Won't see many anti-vaxers if that's ever the case. And while I hate these media headlines, and I'm not a conspiracy guy, it seems something is a foot as if they want us to live in fear or expect Armageddon (probably good for ratings). Problem is, Governments (who are just people), read these same stories, then make decisions that make life unpleasant unnecessarily.

And the real truth is no one knows and will never know if the CCP has their silencing way. I hope this olympics flops hard on them as a complete failure and then the rest of world shuns them and the Russia 
Gov bullies entirely.

Probably, as usually does when I say something like that. But no one can make me love the CCP as is quite deep. So I really hope those olympics fail. I will more or less not watch any of them if on TV. But I do like ski jumping I have to say.

Maybe they'll have a test x2 and go?

I’m the most affected by their zero COVID policy as I’ve been trying to go back for quite a long time and it’s just impossible. 
 

But, in the end, their country their rules.
