, Brian Hodder wrote about the impact of COVID-19 and its very transmissible Omicron variants on the Christmas-New Year's season this year. He noted that"it is amazing how much things have changed over the past year and how little concern many people now have about this virus and how we protect ourselves and one another against its impact.
While basic protective measures such as cleansing, masking, self-distancing, and of course vaccination are all voluntary for the under-60s, they are still essential for seniors. You can spot the seniors with their masks in the supermarket, bank, pharmacy, or convenience store, where younger generations can go bare-faced, even in large areas of close contact, like concerts and sports events. Sometimes, seniors feel a little embarrassed to be the only ones wearing their masks in such places.
Maintain effective cleansing. Wash your hands thoroughly and often. Don't just put your fingers under water for a couple of seconds; that won't work! Try the old"Happy Birthday" formula. Use an antibacterial soap, and then sing "Happy Birthday" while you wash every part of your hands. That will last exactly 15 seconds, which should do the trick!

China’s COVID trapLONDON, U.K.—“Our COVID-19 policy is the most scientifically effective, the most economical, and yields the best result,” insisted the People’s Daily newspaper in China after mass public protests against the government’s zero-COVID policy last weekend. If President Xi Jinping believes that, he is in for a lot more trouble. The protests were unprecedented in their scale and daring. They broke out spontaneously in 12 cities across China after 10 lockdown-related deaths in the remote province of Xinjiang. All sorts of people took part, from students to workers to pensioners. A few even called for the dethroning of Xi and the Communist Party. That doesn’t mean the regime is on the brink of collapse. Public anger at the endless lockdowns and the resulting loss of income is strong, but the regime’s surveillance technology is excellent. There was relatively little official violence last weekend, but many of the protesters will have an unpleasant visit by the police in the coming days. Xi’s problem is that the protests will probably recur and may well escalate because over-long mass quarantines and lockdowns are a non-political issue that can unite almost everybody against the government’s policy. Or rather, against Xi’s personal policy, for he has deliberately chosen to portray zero-COVID as the greatest achievement of his time in office. That made sense in the first year of the pandemic, for China’s relentless lockdowns and mass testing campaigns saved a great many lives. Total COVID-related deaths in China have been around 5,000 out of a population of 1.4 billion. The United States, with less than a quarter of China’s population, had more than one million COVID deaths. Xi and his propagandists naturally used this contrast as evidence that both Chinese medicine and the Chinese political system were superior to their Western equivalents. Was he even aware that the zero-COVID policy could only be a stopgap until effective vaccines were developed, never a lasting solution? H
