Critics say a review section in Zhang’s doctoral thesis is very similar to that in another paper
Supporter says the accusers are deliberately confusing the issue

1. Covid will not be totally eradicated. 
2. It will become endemic globally. 
3. Zero covid strategy can only be used temporarily - unless a Country want to cut itself out from the rest of the World by permanently shutting its border and become a hermit country. 
4. Else at some point in time, every Country must learn how to live with covid - with high vaccination rate to protect its population.

1. Full uncontrolled endemic - to allow full Economy and travel to function like in pre-pandemic is undesirable will result in high infection, high hospitalisation and even death. This uncontrolled endemic model is not desirable.

2. Zero covid strategy - by closing its border to prevent imported infection cases - is also unsustainable - unless a Country want to shut its international flights permanently, ban overseas travelling, ban all oveseas visitors and curb trade, business and investment - to prevent infection from coming from abroad.
The zero covid strategy is only implemented when there are no alternative to prevent covid from infecting the population and lead to high hospitalisation and death.
Now with vaccination, monoclonal anti-body treatment - to transform covid into mild illness - rather than serious illness -- zero covid strategy is no longer the desirable model.

3. Adopting a Middle Path approach to live with the covid as endemic - while reopening the domestic Economy and international Economy will be a longer term sustainable model.

4. Hence I will like to coin the concept of "Vaccinated Controlled Endemic" with high vaccination (100% vaccination if possible) as a baseline to live with the covid as endemic while reopening the domestic and international Economy.
That's step by step reopening with safeguard and not uncontrolled endemic.
The middle path between zero covid and full endemic.
