Does anyone need reminding that China's 'zero' policy (or whatever they call it now... does 'economy-boosting home stay!' have legs?) imposes severe economic costs (Of course health authorities in China are more concerned with keeping people free of the virus, with fears of overwhelming the health system. The home-grown vaccines do not seem to be up to the job).
