Most of Canada did not follow the Zero-COVID policy[edit]

I was so surprised to see Canada here as the country did not follow Zero-COVID nor did most provinces officially outline Zero-COVID as their policy. Sure Atlantic Canada did it with the Atlantic Bubble but the section here on Canada doesn't even talk about it.Terramorphous (talk) 09:49, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relevant discussion: How should we include allegations of China undercounting COVID-19 cases and deaths[edit]

You are invited to join in at Talk:Chinese government response to COVID-19 § RFC: How should we include allegations of undercounting?. — Shibbolethink ^(♔ ^♕) 13:03, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

POV[edit]

This article ought to cover the protests against this policy in China. The article and especially the section on China reads like a promotional piece extolling the benefits of the policy. 5.195.36.6 (talk) 22:45, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. We can start incorporating that in. –Novem Linguae (talk) 00:53, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I went to go add a sentence about the protests and I see that there is already one there.[1]. Do you have anything else you'd like added? –Novem Linguae (talk) 04:27, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Scotland[edit]

The section on Scotland is misleading. The devolved Scottish government has not pursued a zero COVID policy in any meaningful sense, and while there have been differences in timing and rhetoric, the policies in Scotland have been substantially the same as the rest of Britain. The Scottish government is controlled by a nationalist political party promoting independence, and likes to emphasise differences with the UK government.
