Nearly 34,000 people at Disneyland underwent testing, which ended close to midnight, long after the festivities at the park are usually finished. Ferried home on 220 special buses, all were found Monday to be negative but are still required to isolate at home for two days, and be re-tested for the coronavirus in two weeks.
The shutdown of one of Walt Disney Co.’s most lucrative parks came after a positive case in a woman who traveled to Shanghai from nearby Hangzhou over the weekend. While officials are yet to confirm whether she visited Disneyland, her infection sparked an aggressive contact tracing effort across China, which eventually ensnared the park-goers, their families and Disneyland staff.
To people in parts of the world where Covid is already endemic, the reaction may seem extreme, but it’s emblematic of China’s increasingly hardcore approach to keeping the pathogen out at any cost.
No doubt, many politicians and their sycophants would love to have the Covid fighting powers of the Chinese government. For our safety and all.
Everyone skipped right over this.
China has done much better than the UK, the US and about 200 other countries.
They use maximum force to control people to keep the virus at bay.
Guess the Chinese government is one of the least selfish on the planet.
Except when they lock up people for believing in Sky Fairies.

I'm not even going to comment on the rest of your blathering nonsense. It's just more of you talking shit.
Is it?
The 2nd Amendment drafted in 1791 - that's 230 years ago now.
Laws should evolve MD.
But the NRA has far too much influence on US politics.
So the mass shootings will continue on a monotonous and regular basis.

Yes it is.
Don't like guns, don't buy one.
When was the 1st amendment drafted?

So would staying home and never going out, there has to be a middle ground, but then you know that Maddog.
You seem to get more riled about this virus and the way it's handled, plus the opinions of others who don't agree with you re the way it's handled, than most people, on this or any other forum.
Chill out...we dont agree...so what?

I don't like authoritarianism, because it impacts my life, unlike how many gods someone worships.
Why does there have to be a middle ground?
Why isn't the Chinese method the best method? If the UK had embraced it there would be tens of thousands and perhaps 100,000 less deaths from this virus.
Isn't that what matters? Don't you want to save lives?

Are you not sick of going round in circles yet? All the questions you are still asking have been answered, and it's obvious everyone has different viewpoints.
Am off to the Christmas thread...it's less confrontational.

Are you saying organised religion does not affect people's lives?
Really MD?
Organised religions are the most authoritarian institutions in the world - telling people how to behave through fear and brainwashing right from birth.
What about the new Texas Heartbeat Act drafted and approved by far right Christian Republicans like Abbott?
According to him (and others) it's fine to force traumatised young girls who have been raped or suffered incest to have the child.
Not that they gives a shit about either once it is born.
I would say it affects those poor females quite a bit - but that's just me.

Then you would love China. Religion is punished by incarceration. Anti vaxers don't exist. Private gun ownership doesn't exist and the Chinese death rate from Covid is 3 per million vs 2000 per million for the UK.
Are you packing your bags as we speak?

You seem to have no middle ground.
It's either the way of the US or China.
I would argue that the UK and Western Europe are a good example of the middle ground.
I'm perfectly happy here thank you MD, we have our faults but at least no-Mega-Churches and sexually perverted/or in denial Televangelist conmen in bad wigs with ten cars and three mansions fleecing millions off the poorest members of their flock whilst preaching controlling far right morality and Creationism.
Religion in mainland UK (but not NI) has largely been reduced to the relatively harmless COE.

Yep, that's why I urge everyone who is medically able, to get vaccinated, have their boosters, wear a mask in crowded public places, keep their distance, and wash their hands regularly.
It's also why I agree that carers and medics, who may be looking after the old, ill and vulnerable, will either have to get a jab....or get another job, preferably where they are not a danger to the aforementioned.
