Not having had a haircut since 1989 during a lockdown has an advantage. As well.

False negatives were part of the plandemic. I think the Chinese are generally reasonable people (see Hong Kong and Taiwan)*, but the CCP has gone off the rails with the whole communism thing.

*Counterpoint would be the Black Death in 1347. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death
Quote:
The Black Death most likely originated in Central Asia or East Asia,[11][12][13][14][15] from where it travelled along the Silk Road, reaching Crimea by 1347....

The Black Death was the second disaster affecting Europe during the Late Middle Ages (the first one being the Great Famine[16]) and is estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of Europe's population.[17] In total, the plague may have reduced the world population from an estimated 475 million to 350–375 million in the 14th century.[18] There were further outbreaks throughout the Late Middle Ages, and in Western Europe the resulting shortages of labour enabled peasants to increase their wages. Outbreaks of the plague recurred at various locations around the world until the early 20th century.
That last line explains the coming Golden Age, although the mechanism will differ in the age of AI.
