    Health care workers in the Philippines who have been in contact with a possible covid case now have no quarantine.

    Health care workers who have been in contact with a confirmed case now have 5 days quarantine reduced from 10.

    Worse this morning but stabilized this afternoon. Hoping this is the worst of it. Drinking plenty of water but that makes the abdominal edema worse. Luckily I have my own ensuite.

    “We had assigned a small probability to Beijing exiting ZCS at end-March after the Winter Olympics and its National People Congress (NPC) conference – now, we think the likelihood is almost nil.

    “Instead, we see a rising probability of Beijing sticking to its ZCS until March 2023, after the upcoming leadership changes are fully completed.”
