It's so easy to simply arm chair general this kind of event isn't it?

Right now most of China is locked down... look at it this way, people are genuinely suffering and dying over there in droves and not so much over here. I can at least be appreciative of their sacrifice.

They aren't being sacrificed by the central government for us, they are being sacrificed to protect the rest of China. That has incidental benefits for not-China, but its not China sacrificing for not-China, its China sacrificing parts of China for China.
