Frankly the only way we will ever get a handle on the evolution and spread of Covid will be from everyone sharing data as openly and quickly as possible.

Frankly You're an Idiot.

Edit/ a brainwashed idiot who would willingly put the world at risk rather than embarrassing the crap handling of covid by the chinese.

Lets see what happens after the lunar new year šŸ˜ šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰ Edit:

To spell this out in small sentences: The lunar new year is the largest mass migration in Human history... Every year because it gets bigger each time

5 billion other people on the planet. Get your data from them.

Besides. There's more data out there on Covid now then scientists could possibly ever know what to do with.

WHO are freakin useless.

Nope. Never been there and not interested. But no wonder they don't like us.
We need to mind our own damn business. Leave them alone. Unless its hunan rights violations or yes, invading other nations. We need to butt out of their business.

In fact? This world would be a whole lot better if everyone learned to mind their own business better.

So covid control isn't a human rights issue?

How about genocide? Slave labor? Unsafe working conditions?

100% valid but this guy needs to be spoon fed the most basic shit, let's come back to that in a little bit.

Ethics aside, Human rights violations inside their own country is arguably less important to the rest of the world, than potential new COVID variants that can spread to the rest of the world. These variant may be just like omicron, or it may be weaker, or even more dangerous, but we don't know that, because we don't have the data. This is why the COVID situation in any country anywhere, not just China, is everyone's damn business.

The world needs to know the specific types of mutations that had occurred in the outbreak in China, which obviously they can't get from the "five billion" other people "out there" in the rest of the world. And they need to know that because, when these mutations inevitably make their way outside of China, the rest of the world needs to know what may be the potential effects and how to prepare for it.

This isn't a request that is specific to China. This is expected from all other countries when a new variant potentially arises. No country should be allowed to keep their outbreak data secret for the safety of the world.

Remember Chinese tourists are coming to their countries and so they are afraid.

Pfft. We all "opened up" and are flying all over the world again. Who cares anymore? This ridiculous carry on has been going on for 3 years. Enough is enough.

Xygnux t1_j2cnsey wrote

We all "opened up" because there's clear and transparent data on the dominant omicron strain, and we know what it is capable of, and that it's not necessary to control it.

We cannot say the same about the situation in China now because we do not know for sure whether there are new dangerous variants that are unreported.

This isn't asking for much, simply report your data like everyone else and let the world knows it's just the standard omicron variant, and let the world study the numerous new subtype that has been founded in China now so that we know they are not any more dangerous than the regular omicron. Then we can all be safe.

This isn't something strange to ask, this is what the rest of the world had been doing, and that's how we discovered variants like Beta, Delta, Omicron, etc.

China is (currently) the highest population country in the world. Unless they want to go full NK and be hermits to the planet, they should responsibly share their information with other countries, so they can get an idea about mutations, severity, spread rate, and so on.

They don't 'have' to share anything. Like a 3rd grader who refuses to share with a classmate. Or they could grow up, and get involved in helping solve Covid before it becomes the next flu.. that we can't get rid of with vaccines due to the sheer numbers of mutations, but is 10 times worse.

I guess to be even more clear, other countries can sure, mind their own business, once China agrees to cut off all incoming and outgoing flights and ships, cut off all trade and travel, and ensure their citizens will 100% not be interacting with the rest of humanity. Since that clearly isn't going to happen, they need to be involved.

China is now sharing their infected citizens with the rest of the world

They should share whatever they have. Why? So the world can get prepared for another possible variant in January. Cause the people in China are poorly vaccinated. Over 35 million catch it everyday and over 9 thousand die everyday.

So if they have any information that could help the world brace for that shit show in January. They should share

I agree. The world leaves China alone and stops all flights and blocks every Chinese person at passport checks. We should also ramp down importation of their products and utilization of their labor because then we might have an opinion on their handling of covid and that would be unfair. I agree they donā€™t have to share shitā€¦but nobody else has to allow them entry either. They arenā€™t the ones with hand in this situation by any stretch of the imagination. But everything you said is trueā€¦it just means something you donā€™t want it to

Well then, I guess the Chinese shouldnā€™t be allowed to travel to these nations either?
