To think China is still locking down

[mumofgirl1]

Sorry if this has already be posted about I was just watching the local news and they where covering recent lockdowns in China I'm shocked they are still implementing lockdowns and wondered how there economy is coping nearly 3yrs down the line of lockdowns and what has happened to the vaccines over there have they not worked. It seems so strange when the rest of the world are coming out the other side of this and they are still putting local lockdowns in place surely they can't do this forever

Brazil took the attitude, you'll live or you'll die from the beginning. www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/brazil/

China locking people in their homes is causing them harm.
UK Govt Health officials sending carehome residents back to carehomes to infect others who were effectively locked down also caused harm.
One isn't better than the other in that regard.

Again, your value judgement has no bearing on whether the tweet was a defence or justification of China's behaviour. Why are you conflating the two?

@LizTrusssPA I managed a care home throughout the first lockdown and the start of the pandemic up until I went on mat leave nov 20. I locked down the home before bojo told us to. Rightly or wrongly I didn't admitted any new residents both from the community and coming from the hospital yes we were told to take pressure off the hospitals and admit people where we could. I had 4 empty rooms so could of taken 4 potential new residents in however I weighed up the risk of filling these empty rooms with new people who could or couldn't potentially have covid and decided that risk was to great to people that already lived in the home, my staff and also myself who was pregnant at the time. when the hospital discharge team and social services did there daily ring round to find out how many beds we had I told them 4 but we wasn't admitting every now and again I was asked why I'd explain and that was that. We had some residents that had to go in hospital prior to the testing becoming available yes I did allow them to come home and we isolated that person in there room for 10 days and staff would barrier nurse. This worked for us and I'm proud to say that both the home and the staff remained covid free. At no point was I forced to take people in. Those homes that did take people in was because they was either council, nhs places or had the owners of the homes putting pressure on the managers to take people in from hospital and (I term that I hate but widely used in the care sector by care home owners) get bums in beds. My point to this post is yes the government said we should take untested people in but at no point was it forced upon us to take untested people in.
