Internal contradictions? Contradictions with the outside world? I sort of completely missed the boat on the how and why of this but it has piqued my interest.

    Also more and more peoples got tired and agitated because of lock down, that led to low morale and more non compliance. With the spread this fast, the govt doesn’t have much choice. Sure they could slow the spread, but with the rate of the spread, I think that half ass solution gonna bring more pain than just speed run it while building more emergency capacity and train more nurses

      Yes exactly, people who ask why they didn't try to manage the opening rather than let-it-rip don't realise how quickly it spread even with lockdowns. Where I was living in Hangzhou, in the weeks leading up to the opening up, I could hear about a new place being locked down nearly daily, and cases were still continuously rising during this period.
