I suspect, in the coming years, we will see more of these sorts of
studies more fully explaining the total "health costs" of Covid
infections.

We seem to be over with and bored with covid; witness how few posts on
the subject lately.

But China is not:

Two observations:

Lockdowns reserve an uninfected population for the virus to thrive in,
with bad side effects too.

Dictators-for-life, like Hitler and Mao and Xi and Putin, get to
thinking they understand everything so micro-mismanage everything, and
don't much mind mega-deaths along the way. They blame underlings when
they are wrong.

Not much happening, but Delta is back (around 50%).

So you are saying, instead of using their own ideas, they should rely on the thoughts of experts in the field?

Sounds like an excellent idea. Sometimes you have excellent insight into problems. Maybe you should run your own country. Then you can let the experts make the decisions about their fields of knowledge, like meteorology.

We are trying to straighten things out, but it's hard to do when you've been in a flat spin for four years.

> It's been quite a while since America had the best system in the world. What the founding tax evaders put together was an interesting proof-of-principle prototype which was actually better than of the competing systems around at the time, and successive amendments did make it even better, but modern constitutions work a whole better than dog's breakfast that America has now.

Thanks to Lyin' Biden, America IS "spiralling downwards." Thankfully, Lyin' Biden's days are numbered, to be precise 205 days to the Mid-terms.

It sure beats your MONOARCHY!

Nonfiction on the subject of fatal diseases is best when it's boring.
You don't want to read the exciting news, you want to read the
other kind.

China went with a classical (and not terribly effective) vaccine,
and with variants that spread fast, that's not working out as happily
as (for instance) the Israel tactics. The lockdown tactic should be
just an occasional backup to other policies. In China, it's a
do-this-for-every-breakout frontline defense.
