Grand Fromage posted:Always carry wet wipes for double duty. And I got in the habit of having a little bottle of liquid soap because you won the loving lottery if you find soap in a bathroom in China. Don't even get to jerk off the soap like in Korea. actually since the pandemic hit theyre v good at having soap or at least hand sanitizer in every bathroom. i don't remember being in a bathroom anywhere since Jan 2020 that didn't have any. also ive never seen those paid toilet paper dispensers anywhere in shanghai but shanghai is weird in a lot of ways so thats probably why. Grand Fromage posted:Like a lot of things in China, it's too late to avoid the problem but maybe they can shorten it if they start now? I guess if your choices are try to fix it too late or don't try to fix it at all, might as well try. lol i wonder what causes this. all my friends here were waiting ages for fosun to start distributing pfizer (still haven't started afaict) and most gave up and just settled for a domestic vaxx cuz it is better than nothing. literally know 0 people who trusted the vaccines, but instead of thinking they were full of 5g nanomachines it was "they're new and untested and also seem to kinda suck and you cant travel anyway".

Nice that soap exists now, wonder if that will stick. I did kind of appreciate the honesty. In Korea every bathroom had a soap dispenser, but it was fairly rare for there to be any soap in them. In China there wasn't even the pretense of the empty dispenser, nobody's washing their hands. The vaxxes I dunno, maybe doubling down because you live abroad? I know someone who paid $600 to get a Sinopharm from a sketchy doctor (not sure it's even approved for use where she lives) because it's Chinese. Foreign vaccines won't work with Chinese biology, you see.

You could make a mint as a doctor selling whatever non-Chinese vaccine to Chinese people as Chinese, is what I'm hearing. Now, I only need a doctorate.

It's probably the same everywhere in the world, but the hand sanitizer has so much variance from place to place that you're way better off taking your own. Sometimes it dispenses a microdot, sometimes a Peter North rope. Sometimes it's some sort of sticky gorilla glue resin, sometimes some sort of breakthrough in everlasting intimate superlube. 3D Megadoodoo posted:You could make a mint as a doctor selling whatever non-Chinese vaccine to Chinese people as Chinese, is what I'm hearing. I mean, if you're going to commit fraud anyway, might as well just fake the doctorate part, too.

The Sinovac virus is not effective at all against Omnicron. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3159784/omicron-chinas-sinovac-covid-19-vaccine-fails-antibodies-test South China Morning Post posted:The Covid-19 vaccine by Sinovac Biotech is not able to produce adequate antibodies to neutralise the highly mutated coronavirus strain Omicron, according to new research from the University of Hong Kong. They just found the first case of Omnicron in Guangzhou; a Polish man who did the long rear end quarantine anyway. Haha, we're so hosed.

Forceholy posted:The Sinovac virus is not effective at all against Omnicron. i mean the mrna vaccines that were better to begin with are also way less effective against omicron so this is kinda expected. p much all the current vaccines are kinda less good (AZ seems about as equally hosed as the Chinese and other non-mRNA ones), but the mrna ones can at least be updated p fast. Smeef posted:He didn't just test positive after 14 days of quarantine. He also flew from Shanghai to Guangzhou before testing positive. Apparently 10,000 people who encountered him have been tested, so far none popping positive. That's a helluva track and trace system. its very in depth. i know a number of people who have had to go to quarantine hotels cuz they were in close contact to a confirmed case over the past few months. i recently flew and bought covid insurance so if someone on my flights ends up being a case and I have to quarantine, they'll pay up to like 500USD a day for my hotel. afaik if you travel by plane/train you sorta take the risk and have to pay for quarantine hotels if you end up getting marked as a close contact, but if you just are living your life the local gov foots the bill. like everything thats probably regional, however. traveling itself is also very region specific wrt how they deal. some places require 1-2 tests taken before you can get on a train/flight and test you as soon as you arrive, some p much dont care as long as your health codes are green.

They'll do what's needed to stop it and if people get fatigued by restrictions they can pound sand. Taiwan could probably do it too because people are good about following restrictions (we shut down Alpha with ~5% fully vaccinated or somewhat, though there were many more single-shot people) and doing contact tracing poo poo, but there'd potentially be some breaking point politically eventually.

I'm sure that they have a big list of "changes we'd like to make to local government staffing and policy", but realistically they know it's politically impossible. However, when loving with things like covid, suddenly a lot of things happen very easily.

No, because climate induced human extinction is a fantasy fear spread by doomsayers with no grasp of the actual impacts of climate change. I've got more faith in China hitting it's net zero 2060 target than the USA hitting it's targets though.

Yeah, I mean like 1/3 of chinese industry is state owned and they could like lock jack ma in a dark room for a few months, which would be unthinkable in the west. Not to say xi doesn’t have some incentives to destroy mankind, but it’s absolutely certain the free market will try to kill everyone, whereas there are conceivably some countervailing forces in china. Not saying there definitely are, just its conceivable. Nancy pelosi just said congress should be free to trade equities, for comparison.
