CIGNX posted:Why did China not want NZ to go into lockdown? And why was the NZ foreign minister's first call at the start of all this to the Chinese foreign minister? The main party in the last government was (still is?) taking donations from the CCP. The current government has atleast made noise about (and probably actually) limited foreign (Chinese) land buying. Winston Peters has a long history of anti Chinese immigration rhetoric but last time he was foreign affairs minister (in government with the CCP lovers) he saw a free trade deal (with attached immigration clause) with China implemented.

NZ related section regarding Taiwan's inclusion into WHO. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-52661181 quote:When New Zealand backed Taiwan's bid to attend the WHA, China responded angrily saying this could damage bilateral ties. WHO trying to BS quote:The WHO has been saying that Taiwan's membership or attendance is entirely up to the member states. It also says that it already communicates with Taiwanese health officials and information is being shared.

It's crazy how much better Korea handled Covid-19 than seemingly anywhere else. When I hear people talking about the situation in the US, it's almost unbelievable. I was kind of lucky that I was leaving my job right as it broke out, I never really saw any impacts of the virus except on my travel plans. Now I'm just sitting in Korea trying to delay returning as long as I can because the situation in the US sounds insane. Though a huge part of me wishes I could see that insanity in person. I might have no choice in the end anyway. I'm curious what other Korea goons' experience with the whole situation has been. And what's the situation in China like right now? I suppose it depends heavily on your province.

Shadow0 posted:I'm curious what other Korea goons' experience with the whole situation has been. I flew out to Seoul for BIL's wedding (which was cancelled) on March 8th. Before heading out, everyone was asking if I was sure it'd be safe, wasn't I worried etc. Work insisted I work from home for 2 weeks upon my return to the UK. The two weeks I had in Seoul and on Jeju island were great. Aside from the odd closed restaurant, everything we wanted to see/do was open as normal, just quieter. Meanwhile, I got to watch the news from back in the UK as the country collectively shat itself. Air France bumped me over to KLM, who also subsequently cancelled my flight home, so I had to book a direct flight back with BA. Wife stayed behind because she didn't have work commitments. Got back to UK, already had enough dried food and toilet paper to weather the shortages from panic buyers, did no working from home because the managers were too busy to assign me anything, and then was at work 2 weeks before they offered to furlough almost everyone for 8 weeks. If they had announced the intention to furlough while I was in Seoul, I would've stayed on there, because the UK's response has been laughable (and I've probably been insufferable to everyone at work pointing out how badly we've handled it compared to Korea).

Shadow0 posted:It's crazy how much better Korea handled Covid-19 than seemingly anywhere else. When I hear people talking about the situation in the US, it's almost unbelievable. I live in rural Gangwon-do, so my experience has been a little different. Up here, things were basically unchanged. Apart from people starting wearing masks, and that the schools were shut down and are only now slowly opening. Restaurants/businesses here have been open, with slightly reduced hours. Inter-city buses are still running, but with a hugely reduced schedule. I assume the trains are the same. A couple of weeks ago I went in to Seoul to FedEx a big box of my stuff home, (and they gouged me on price), and Seoul was surprisingly more bustling and open for business than I expected. For me personally, I work(ed) for a tiny hagwon, and all was as usual until March, when we shut down completely for two weeks, then started online classes. Unfortunately for me and my hagwon owner, only half the kids signed up for the online classes, and even then those that did stopped paying the fees. All of this led to the school officially going tits up at the end of April, and the owner stopping paying me since March. YAY. I will be heading home, (to Australia), on the 29th on one of the only 2 direct flights this month. It is costing me a metric fucktonne. Once in Sydney I have to do a government mandated 14 day quarantine before I can head home to Melbourne as an unemployed middle aged man living in his parents house in Frankston. After that? gently caress knows. Hoping that COVID-19 has calmed down enough so that somewhere else will be hiring ESL teachers for second semester.

Oh goody the bad thread has woken from it's slumber. I would definitely stay out of the US and the UK if you can. Just skimming the news it is unbelievable. If Trump had just shut his trap and pass whatever the doctors were putting on his desk there was a chance they could open for real with a fraction of the causalities. Same with Boris who didn't take the opportunity to die. The US medical system is collapsing not because of too many covid patients, its from the lack patients due to the asinine fee for service model. The UK and US never stood a chance.
