Meanwhile we don’t have a single, unified directive for transmission prevention and a lot of people don’t even believe that the virus is actually real.

I am not an anti maker or somebody who thinks it is a hoax. It is real.
So is the freedom to not be welded into your home, or feel like with all the options out there, you at least have a chance of seeing some truth reported and knowing that no matter how nutty some news might be, at least they probably are not going to be thrown in jail for having a different viewpoint.
Now a genius at controlling the messaging and visual of a situation. That I could believe.
China shifting to renewable energy and will be zero polluter very soon!

Combine their lack of free press with their ruthless enforcement of whatever combination of quarantine efforts that they may wish to impose and it's not surprising to see them have huge crowds at anything right now.
The truth in China could be anywhere on the spectrum, from they just stopped counting deaths and are letting it cull some of their population to they locked people in their homes and did basically eradicate the virus (including 'fatal accidents'' for anyone with Covid symptoms).
Truth is probably somewhere in the middle, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Chinese died at home with Covid over the last 12 months in order to not get tested and have most of their families 'disappear' as well.
There’s got to be more going on under the surface than they locked everybody up.
Here in NCW the only thing that you really notice is the dine in seating restrictions, and the screenings at work. Obviously you wear a mask in stores, but have yet to be stopped to determine if my travel is essential or anything.
Same with my kids in Seattle and Portland. My oldest daughter said that going to Vancouver (across state lines) is a little bit faster because there are a few less cars on the road, but other than that not too much difference.
Pit Row
I don’t think anyone actually believes their “numbers”
The 14 day quarantine is a recommendation from the governor’s office, not an enforceable rule.
For a while our company was using the New York State suggested quarantine list of states as our baseline. If you traveled to any of those states for personal reasons, you had to either quarantine for 14 days or have a negative Covid test 3 days after returning. So if you returned to WA on a Friday, you could possibly get tested on Monday and return to work on Tuesday.
When NY stopped publishing their list, we stopped following that.
Now you have to inform HR of any time you leave the state on any paid time off, and they will let you know about any restrictions that you may have to follow.
If you just happen to go out of state for a weekend and aren’t using PTO, then technically they don’t have any say over what you do.
I’d guess that we have over 90% compliance with our folks reporting their travel plans for PTO. We even have had quite a few who self-report trips where they aren’t using PTO. Of course we pay for their Covid tests as well, and if their time away from work is even remotely related to Covid it doesn’t affect their attendance scores.
We’ve been very fortunate in that we’ve had 5 positives so far, but none of them appear to be work-related as the positive employees did not work in the same areas, same shifts, etc. They were all able to trace their probable infection back to a family member or roommate.
We have less than 150 people at our site, and most of them have a very protective attitude of each other when it comes to workplace safety and hygiene. It seems to have carried over to this pandemic as well. Over half of our workforce has over 10 years tenure, I think that has a lot to do with it.
I don't believe they have completely eradicated it from the country but they have the government to make it happen.
1 + 1 = 7@q9 in this equation from what I'm seeing.
If your country can "wipe" someone with those credentials, you can make a virus go away. (Even if it did not actually go away.)
