[Born to Conserve]

The Chicoms don’t care if millions die, they just don’t want it to be disruptive. If the can slow the spread down so that people who have been exposed and recovered can pick up the reins as more fall ill, then all is well.

And as they say, we all die eventually.

We care about millions dying, but we don’t do anything intelligent to prevent it.

We use collective terms because it’s too much of a hassle to list all the personalities involved. But the reality is that Xi Jinping cares and all of his rivals do. Because if he falls down on this, they will be waiting to kick him down the staircase. Dictatorships work differently from democracies in one important way - the losers in factional rivalries can end up in prison or much, much worse.
