  1. Some things which should be noted: people in China are just like people anywhere else in the world, and there will always be some who do not conform to requests such as self isolation due to being a close contact of an infected person. As a result some were forced to remain in their homes by having action taken including doors being welded, which gave western media a field day. Of course, nothing was mentioned about these people receiving daily supplies of fresh food and where necessary medicine, delivered directly to them. Then the western press had a field day with the use of the word "draconian". Virologists and epidemiologists the world over all agree that draconian means are the only way to stop a pandemic. Of course most countries have not gone hard with these "draconian" lockdowns, and the results can be seen. Just look at Europe and North America. The only countries to have followed such means seem to be Australia and New Zealand, and now look at their results. I recall in March last year, i was encouraging everyone i knew to wear a mask if possible, not to prevent catching the virus, but instead to minimize the chance of its spread. Unbelieveable as it may sound, although i was laughed at, at that time, it is now mandated in many places. So let's stop criticizing and or blaming China, and start reflecting on our own actions, or should i say inactions!
