Sure you can. That is why I am in favor of limiting the scope of these organizations. Individual employees can, and do, bend and selectively apply the rules. That doesn't necessarily make democratic republics intractable - the continued existence of the US proves that.

Short term zero COVID may be achievable. I am not disputing that. However, China must maintain vigilance literally forever. That is why I don't find it a realistic policy.

How is zero covid an achievable policy for an endemic, highly contagious virus? The whole idea to me seems impossible.

In other news, 98% of Chinese citizens trust their government.

Taking pride in your work is a good thing. However, consider that it's all relative... your 50% effort is probably another person's 100% effort. You are totally allowed to dial it back and focus more on yourself and your family. In fact most people probably would not even notice if you did so.
The first few years of my career, I worked as hard as possible and started feeling deeply ill. I realized the need to put forth my maximum effort was all self-imposed, totally in my head. Now I personally try to do as little work as possible, and I am still highly regarded at my job.
