Chen Jianli/Xinhua via AP In this photo released by China’s Xinhua News Agency, a volunteer uses a megaphone to talk to residents at an apartment building in Shanghai, China, Tuesday, April 12, 2022. Shanghai has released more than 6,000 more people from medical observation amid a COVID-19 outbreak, the government said Wednesday, but moves to further ease the lockdown on China’s largest city appeared to have stalled.

Can China’s zero-COVID policy succeed?

What if it does. Are the starved humans, the other dead ones
just an unlucky side effect, in an otherwise marvelous effort?

What an ugly premise.
