  Here's another stark, but interesting, comparison. (Countries selected as countries I have friends or family in.)

  What I see in this is that it's more than just capitalist and socialist differences. There are some "socialist" nations that did pretty badly in that mess. There are some "capitalist" nations that did OK.

  But the real reason for China's success is spelled out more here: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1480168091745075200.html

  My guess is that China would have done roughly equally as well under its imperial system because the very nature of the people is different.

    Do you think that China will be hit hard later by omicron? If it is way more transmissible than the other variants then containing it will be even harder, right? Especially if the rest of the world will have an endemic situation going on soon.

      It's already stepped into at least Shenzhen and Ningbo and got sent packing with bloodied face and nose.
