    It doesn't mention specifics, simply that americans are at chinese airports trying to buy up supplies. If it were me, I'd bribe people to find out where they came from and then it's a simple phone call to seal the deal. This is corrupt China where money rules.

    No matter how much I appreciate a post, sometimes I just can't bring myself to press a button that says I *like* it.

    Yeah, I think they fixed that on Facebook by some other choice so you don't have to "like" a friend's report that his dog died.
    But I do use it to mean "appreciate the effort to bring the content up," bear bile being probably the MOST vile of all the vile practices used in the BS side of TCM (there being legitimate parts of TCM with actual science behind them, but those are all related to plants, there is NOTHING in ANY animal part or extract that does anything for disease).

    Testing for immunity (i.e. having had it and being recovered) seen as the UK's "exit strategy" a bit like the news from Germany a few days ago.

    As I said a while back, this is going to prompt some very strange incentives for those still huddling indoors and unable to go back to work or normal life. Covid parties, whether for kids(!) or low risk adults, are definitely going to become a thing once they start handing out immunity passes.

    Exactly! So many posts here are vital info/comment but too sad/tragic/depressing to be "liked". I wish there are other button options such as "Thanks","True", "Sad", "Sigh", "RIP", "Oh", "OMG" or even a facepalm. It would be more meaningful under this circumstances. I am sure many of the posts for this virus topic would get dozens if not hundred of facepalms.

    I don't think we have ever before seen in any other topic on this forum as many facepalms as we have had under this virus topic. Also, same for the "f" word.
