Meanwhile the US has more people dead from covid than literally any other country, even most countries combined. Certainly more people dead than China (again, despite having a much smaller population, and much lower urban population densities, which you’d think would mean an easier time preventing the spread of a virus).
Literally “better dead than red.”
Also, it’s a real bold claim that covid quarantine is equivalent to an actual prison.
Well, the question was “Who’s more authoritarian?”, not who had the better response to COVID-19 and I just thought the timing to consider China less authoritarian with what’s going on there right now rather comical.

Compared to prisons in US that’s probably true, lol. But still, a friend of mine is in lockdown since 1st of April and they haven’t left their flat since. Also food delivery broke down for a few days and they had to life of their stocked milk for four days. Certainly not a situation I’d like to be in.

if “authoritarianism” is proper quarantine measures, then make this world authoritarian
