Covid consequences (Covidsequences?)...

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%).

Yep! Unfortunately, power tends to corrupt. We Americans have had the best
system in the world but it is spiraling downwards. That, even considering
the possibility we might swing to the so-called right (that won\'t stop our
fall). Then again, I don\'t know everything...

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.

Except that you can now vaccinate the uninfected population, so the virus can\'t thrive in that population, or even reproduce frequently enough to generate the more infectious variants (from other places) that are now giving the Chinese trouble.

The Chinese do have a problem in that their home-developed vaccines aren\'t as good as ours, but they a great deal better than nothing.

Correctly. They shouldn\'t surround themselves with yes-men. Xi seems to have less of a problem with yes-men than Putin, and neither of them is - as yet - as far out of touch with reality as Hitler and Mao ended up. With any luck Putin is going to get his reality check quite soon.

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.

America isn\'t \"spiralling downwards\". It\'s just not improving as fast as the competition.

The right-wing in America does still think that their system is still the best system in the world. They don\'t like thinking about how it falls short, let alone how it needs to be improved.

> Then again, I don\'t know everything...

Something of an understatement.

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

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.

Flyguy has any number of strongly held delusions. He looks very like somebody who has sunk a long way into senile dementia.

It sure beats your MONARCHY!

The UK went over to a constitutional monarchy in about 1832.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_Act_1832

This was actually just the first in series of constitutional reforms, but you wouldn\'t be able to follow anything that complicated.

Australia got it\'s own constitution in 1900, and it stuck with constitutional monarchy, more out of nostalgia than anything else. There was a referendum about turning the country into a republic in 1999, which was lost by a narrow margin. The electorate liked the idea in principle, but didn\'t like the specifics of what they were offered to vote on.

What we\'ve got is deliberately different from the US system.It\'s not a good as the better European constitutions, which were put together even more recently, and have proportional representation in multi-member electorates, which leads to multiparty democracy and and coalition governments, which work remarkably well. I watched the Dutch system up close for 19 years, and was positively impressed. They too are a constitutional monarchy.
