I came to this thought after watching Years and Years - a BBC series.

Then I saw this, just now

www.theguardian.com/world/video/2022/apr/11/this-cannot-last-residents-in-locked-down-shanghai-scream-from-their-balconies-video

How on earth did we get to the current state?

My friend, I seem to grow more and more bewildered. Your observations are wholly incomprehensible to me. Cannot you simplify them in some way? At first I thought perhaps I understood you, but I grope now. Would it not expedite matters if you restricted yourself to categorical statements of fact unencumbered with obstructing accumulations of metaphor and allegory?

After the first outbreak the Chinese seemed to have contained it in no time. With these measures I am wondering if they have bumped into yet another variety of the virus.

What we hear here is the latest ( Omikron) is more contagious but not nearly as dangerous as pervious varieties.

Too bad plantation owners didn't come up with such fancy terms as 'closed-loop' system:
