The government’s methods were reported widely.

What one thinks about the Chinese approach depends what your goals are and depends what your values are, and what you’re willing to risk for what you’re willing to gain.

I missed articles on the Chinese approach. If anyone has some good links handy, I’d appreciate.

Given how poorly the US was doing with lockdowns, etc. I assumed once Covid was off and running, we could only somewhat delay it and have to wait for a vaccine or herd immunity. So I assumed the Chinese were mostly lying.

Don’t know about Kuwait. I’ve seen it said the Polynesians evolved to be “burly” as a defense against hypothermia during their endless voyages. Western ships kept you dry, mostly, while the Polynesians were frequently damp for long periods while afloat. And when the sun does down and the wind continues, things could get unpleasant. Dangerously so. So said the theory.

Then again, what is “fat”? When I got out of OCS, I was 6/2″, 205. I was in such good shape that the fearsome requirements of Airborne School were a joke. By some tables, I’d have been overweight. My father was a notably fast end at UConn at somewhat slighter build and found, years ago, he’d have been “overweight”. But, he said, he got down to the required weight by VE Day.

So, combining the two grafs, it’s possible that the Polynesians are “burly” and not in good odor with the BMI gurus without having a morbid cast to their situation.

Kuwait and Polynesia are fatter than the US, (see this), but COVID isn’t bad there.

Now the reason he will never grow old may come as a shock to Mr. Z, but change may come to the CCP. And then even Mr. Z may no longer be of use to the CCP.

If it is true that the U.S.A is experiencing more hospitalizations and deaths with the latest surge than other countries, this could be the reason.

This. I don’t know about “mass” but for some of us, yes. The precursor being the 3 years of utilization of the government to lie about and attack President Trump. Russia Hoax to pandemic election malfeasance.
