All the bourgeois whining about losing profit due to lockdowns aside, the covid situation in China seems pretty dire right now? I hadn't really heard much about it, but it makes me worry. Anyone have any reliable information on how they're handling it, what the trajectory is? Obv not gonna trust this study that the NYT article referenced claiming 1.6 million will die by summer (as if China would let more people die than the fucking US)
