my US colleague says....u all singaporeans think every country same here...announce something in the afternoon like 2 pax dining in and by night time can implement already...do u know most US cities already bigger than the entire Sg? no way you can apply the same measures in US and hope it can be implemented and enforced effectively...that's just wishful thinking

yes i believe wholeheartedly the news coming out from china on how well they managing the pandemic...

no need to argue de....I got a number of PRC friends and colleagues and their measures are just extreme, lockdown means lockdown, they will make sure u comply by hook or by crook

my point is it has nothing to do with the country's size...US cannot do what China is doing because it is not authoritarian

US has 51 states and will need weeks to implement and months of enforcing to make it a norm.

months also cant do it...the land mass and people are just too huge...what we do here cannot be replicated over there no matter how long u give it to implement...

they do it on a city level....when there is no cases, they will relax

but when there is an outbreak, HO SEH, they will lockdown and test all (they don care how many millions)....my colleague wanted to go back to Xi'an, then there suddenly lockdown, everything on hold (previously, also heard frens complaining about such extreme measures in Tianjin, Beijing, Chengdu, Nanjing)

that's their covid zero strategy which I find it dumb, how long more can they keep up? I think cos their vax is weak :s13:
