  1.  Joost FF  china actually took one of most cautious approaches of any country. They only reopened when there is sustained period of no community spread. US criteria for example is 14 days of sustained decreased transmission and a lot of states opened up when infections are still on the rise

  4. Nope, happens in USA to suspects of any race, and cops of any race. Many white drivers are killed that way too. Non-white American cops would've emptied their magazine into that car too

  13.  @fluffypuppy4568  America is a lot richer. America's life expectancy is below what its GDP per capita predicts while China is above
    1
  14.  @fluffypuppy4568  It is, but you have to take economic development into account. Wealth is strongly correlated with life expectancy and China is much poorer and less developed than America, so naturally, China would have lower life expectancy than USA

  18. @1등급 it wasn't until mayors across south korea attempted to press criminal charges against the cult that they released the names of their members. South korean government acted quickly and tested all the members in a period of days(the few days in late february of 800+ new cases per day, were the days the shinsheonji members were being tested)

  24. The age profile of people who are not vaccinated. In the other places you mentioned, unvaccinated skew towards younger, low risk groups. In HK they skew towards older, high risk groups

  25. Government do intervene, without kids to replace the new generation, tax base will shrink and pension burden will get heavier, all of which affects how government function

  26. In the US only natural born citizens can run for president, but other offices can be held by naturalized citizens

  29. What about America 100+ despite having 1/4 population every Olympics

  30. America has really high vaccination rate. In America, according to cdc, vaccinated people don’t need masks

  31. Weird flex but ok

  32. Other developed countries have much lower violent crime, so much less lethal force is needed. US police often have to face suspect with guns. Other developed countries rarely even have to face suspects with knives. Also, being murdered on duty as a cop is much higher chance in US than other developed countries, even with heavily armed, trigger happy cops

  33.  @hu42  however unlike in western countries, based on reports, most Singaporeans have volunteered to keep their masks on

  38.  @havanascp9602  europe has bridges that are hundreds of years old. Still holds very sturdy, even during winds stronger than this. 20+ years is no excuse.

  40. It’s because there was 0 cases thus people got complacent and didn’t get vaccinated
    1
  41. Rest of world is way behind US in vaccinations

  42. What about Japan
    1
  43. They’re the ones most likely to lose their jobs over lockdowns, of course they’re frustrated

  44. Yep, and there's a video documented how this is how Russian leaders have always treated their people, from the tsars to the dictators that succeeded the tsars

  45. They should switch to western system which have capacity to handle much more cases. No symptom and mild symptoms=At home. Serious in hospital

  46.  @greenbean3289  thats why new york has been hit harder than any other american city and its not even close. It has 10 times more cases than the second worst affected american city

  49. Many have stopped requiring them for vaccinated, like Walmart, Costco, etc

  50. actually, the whole of china went under lockdown too. Public transport, schools, and non-essential services all over the country were ordered to be shut. Only one person per household can leave every 2 days to buy groceries. China's policy was hard lockdown for hubei, soft lockdown for rest of the country.
