Foxconn pauses hiring spree over lack of quarantine space

Somebody needs to say it (and somebody probdbly needs to hear it). So. Freaking. Dumb.

While it's inconvenient and expensive for Americans, we should express gratitude for China's zero-COVID policy. Has everyone forgotten where it came from in the first place? And where the majority of influenza and coronaviruses originate? And how they spread to humans from animal vectors such as swine, fowl and bats? China's policy is protecting us not only from existing COVID strains, but new and possibly deadlier variants, new and deadlier swine flu strains like the H1N1 pandemic that emerged in 2009 (and shut down my workplace for 2 days), and bird flu strains like the H5N1 that emerged in 2005, resulting in the forced extermination of 50 million domestic poultry worldwide, including here?

Thank you China, for doing what needs to be done, even if we refuse to do so.

This needed to be done worldwide when COVID first surfaced and was still containable. At this point it’s a fool’s errand, since COVID has become so widespread worldwide that it doesn’t make a difference anymore. The virus is already present through human populations all over the world and will probably be endemic going forward, with milder forms continuing to spread and mutate and come back every year like its relatives the cold and the flu

Agreed…..we may think that its a hard core policy but preventions is the key. China is probably the only Nation who can do such a strict  policy to prevent further mutations and spreads, here in the West we seems to complain a lot specially in our Government, but we welcome who ever crosses the Southern border, no politics intended but thats the reality.
