The trailer I saw didn’t make it seem that bad.

AFAIK it’s straight to streaming so I wouldn’t expect it to be amazing.

I was able to convince my brain-wormed, "I would have voted for Trump if I was American" mother to get vaccinated by pointing out that supplies of Western vaccines in Hong Kong were use it or lose it and if she waited too long her only option would have been been Sinovac.

Went from months of "I dunno, these vaccines are new and untested and possibly dangerous, I've seen a lot of stuff on FB about it" to vaccinated within a week.

a local friend of mine was a holdout until she had to get one to be able to keep doing her job. she proudly told me, to my astonishment, she chose sinovac because its reduced efficacy implied reduced whatever harmful effects a vaccine has :wtc:

No? The box office return was average, but Disney still prefers they make endless Cars sequels because those translate better to toy and merchandise sales whereas I don't think kids want action figures of the guy from Soul.

Well, the ancient Romans referred to Dancing girls with a waggle of the eyebrows for a reason.

Then again, given that cults are a hotspot for sexual predation I probably shouldn't be making jabs.

Just had a lockdown-in-place announced at my school, until everyone's test results from this morning are processed.
City-wide apparently, so that processing could take time.

Lab doors: locked from the inside.
Water supply: checked.
Pure ethanol: present.

Could be worse.

Good luck out there, Atopian! One of my colleagues from my language center days is working out there. She was instructed by her admin to make a bug out bag in case she gets stuck at her school.

Meanwhile, we're not under an official lockdown here in Beijing, but the powers that be are wary. We have been advised to not leave the city and we can only enter or leave Beijing with a fresh 48 hour test. There was an outbreak near Yanjiao, in Hebei, about 30 - 40 minutes from where I live. My community is not under lockdown yet, but three of my kids can't commute from Yanjiao. I have to do weird Hybrid classes all this week. I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop, honestly.

We had some schools shutting down and semi-mass testing (wasn't clear to me who all was required to get tested, other than that it included me and a poo poo ton of people ahead of me in line.)

We have had 0 cases so far in the city and as far as I know 1 rumored case for the whole province.
