China's Zero Covid policy damages the country

Yes, a neuroscientist friend of mine researching this says that maybe the Chinese know something we don’t about the long term effects.

There was this article published (by someone else) in Nature on 2022-04-01 titled “Neuropathology and virus in brain of SARS-CoV-2 infected non-human primates”, that found neurlogical damage in monkeys even after mild symptoms: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-29440-z

There are other possible explanations for China’s policy, but this one concerns me the most.

yes indeed, we are discounting the long term impact on individuals and the aggregate impact on society. The appropriate response to China's Covid Zero is should 'what do they know that we don't' rather than the dismissive attitude we mostly commonly see
