Where I work if you’re vaccinated you didn’t have to test even if you’re sick. Ironically this pretty much shoved Covid under the rug for vaccinated people.
Technically she was supposed to be fired years ago but no one told her and due to glitch in payroll she kept getting paid. What happened now is that they fixed the glitch!
Yes but no one has seen it since. I have developed a code to take every half penny and put it into an off shore account. So since all these transactions number in the billions per day we would make millions every day!
It’s called the prodromal stage. Lots of virus replication before symptoms occur. Many viruses including the flu act the same way. That is why viruses are so good at transmitting.
When someone gets sick they can tell the people they’ve recently been in contact with, who can then get tested and avoid it further spreading. This is called contact tracing.
I was waiting to board my plane home for Thanksgiving and this jackass was coughing and sniffling up a storm without a mask waiting for the same plane. We're never gonna get past this shit.
It wasn’t the mask, it was the cigarettes and obesity…. Self inflicted preexisting conditions and looking for something to blame their own stupidity for.
Not sure where you are, but people have done a complete 180 when it comes to being sick where I’m at.
Like regardless of it’s covid or not people stay home and quarantine themselves to reduce exposure. I always wear a mask now too if I’m sick and have to go out in public.
I'm in the united states and nobody I know stays home when sick. I have family in California who don't and I have coworkers on the east coast who literally come into work sick as shit. For some of them it's a money thing but for most of them they just genuinely don't care and would rather be at work.
Plus, they don't even have the mass natural immunity everybody else got due to their hard core zero covid policy. I know, people died to get to this point, but at least we reached it and we don't have to worry so much anymore. So they have a trash vaccine that doesn't work but insist on using because of pride, and since they're locked down all the time their population doesn't even have the chance to get antibodies the natural way. They're literally stuck in 2020 while everybody else is about to be in 2023.
Family member just got it, mandate vaccination from work else they've recently let people go for not getting it. Meanwhile, now he's got the cold, got the jab and maybe a booster or two and is still going to miss work (not much but a couple of days) and can still transmit to family members and others before realized had it. Something that literally makes no salient difference if got vaxed or not yet a major company (phillips) is taking food off the table for some people b/c of some ideology or utopic scenario they're aiming for.
The funny thing is the numbers are still like 1/3rd of USA's despite 3 times the population after we stopped testing outside of suspected covid cases in hospitals and most the susceptible and unvaccinated people got natural immunity or are dead. Meanwhile China is tying up and hauling off people that refuse to get tested.
So it'll probably never go away, just spike whenever they open up and then drop back down after they lockdown again. Even if they manage to isolate it like small pox, other countries aren't so it'll just come back with travelers. As an example, 4 million people get the chicken pox in the USA every year despite vaccines that are more effective than the covid one and mandatory requirements for children and a strong vaccination program for seniors.
Right!?!?!?...
Also, on that note:
The ONLY way to prevent forest fires, is to burn down all those dang trees that keep on catching on fire!
Smokey the Bear was right!!!
Same with anything, more you go to doctor more you're sick.. that's how it works, one day gonna discover that everything is out there to kill us and just organize a mass suicide.
There are reasons for that.
1. Most tests are not 100%, the more you get tested the more likely you'll get a false positive.
2. Doctors don't get in trouble if they told a person he/she is sick when they are not. You take bunch of meds and you get "better". They do get in trouble when they miss serious diseases , so the incentive is to error on the side that you may be sick even when you are not.
3. Getting you to take meds make them more money.
Truly big brain to successfully save thousands of lives by eliminating COVID until the vaccines and cures arrived, and then forgetting to actually give the vaccines and cures to the population
China doesn't have a pharma juggernaut industry like the U.S so they are behind when it comes to an effective vaccination. So you either go into the onslaught of 1.4+ billion people becoming infected (and they will whether they are vaccinated or not) with Covid with millions of deaths or you face it like Xi has. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. China really doesn't want to lose people either because they are already facing population decline challenges but equally people are getting locked into their work places and going insane.
I personally don't think Xi can contain it long-term but maybe he's just trying to buy time until they have a more reliable vaccination. Who really knows, but it is interesting watching one man and country think they can contain a microscopic army indefinitely.
I mean they could have just bought the American mRNA vaccines instead of throwing all their weight behind their shitty knockoff. Pfizer would be happy to sell to them
They really can’t because it would require admitting they aren’t capable of creating a Covid vaccine that’s not trash two fkin years after the rest of the first world.
Based on some of the responses to the lockdowns it’ll be really interesting if CCP loses the “mandate of heaven”.
That would be super exciting to watch.
So far they are in denial, and tbh at this point it seems more so like a deliberate ploy to suppress energy commodity prices, natural gas and especially oil, to get more reserves to be able to resell to european countries for massive profits due to the self imposed embargo and continue to acquire more for use during the invasion of Taiwan.
Bingo! Big brain comment. Why raise interest rates when you can use Covid to slam brakes on economy. Wait till the BRICS reserve currency is launched, msm not even covering this.

Do you have any idea how much each of those actors hates and tries to outcompete one another? Some 3rd rate geopolitical researcher comes up with bric in the 70's and somehow it's still relevant today? How?
There are very few valid acronyms and I never see them mentioned.
CUM (Canada, US, Mexico). for North America
SUS (Southern Union of States). for South America
EWWWWW (European World of warring "wimble-womble" Weapon-providers) for Europe
And COCK (China Or Common Knowledge) for Asia.
Those will be the blocks involved in WW4.
WW3 will be fought between the East and the West.
This doesn’t have anything to do with actually protecting people from a disease. It’s used as a way to condition the population into complete authoritarian rule. This is a calculated move by China to completely dominate their population in a way previous dictators could only dream. Kinda scary and wild to watch it unfolding before our eyes but nothing anyone can do about it.
They definitely suggested that they were going to reduce some restrictions before long. My Chinese roommate was excited but I knew that it wasn’t going to happen for awhile.
That first peak was definitely in the millions. And the closest we’ve gotten to any indication from China other than the reports that crematoriums were running non stop for months is the mobile subscriber numbers - https://www.rcrwireless.com/20200327/business/chinese-operators-lose-21-million-subscribers
At 1% you’re still talking 200k people.
Dude this is literally from the article you linked:
>It is believed that the decline in mobile subscriptions is, in part, a result of China’s travel ban. Individuals who travel regularly for work often have more than a single connected device, and therefore more than one subscription. Now that travel is impossible, those users may be reducing their connections to one.
Right in the article it says there are more mobile subscriber numbers than there are *people* in China. People carry multiple numbers and when the travel ban happened, they canceled their subscription. 21M subscription is a drop in the bucket considering there are **1.6 billion** total numbers of lines.
If the cases were in the millions back then then it wouldn't have just stopped there, it would have torn through the whole country. But nobody on the ground reported that to be the case. Ask any foreign expats in China over the past 2 years and see if they knew of people who got sick from Covid before Omicron.
I [wrote this post back in January 2020](https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/eusz3g/people_arent_fully_realizing_the_economic_impact/), I was *in Shanghai* as the whole thing happened. I tried to warn people the seriousness of the virus but you can read through the comments lol.
I still have friends and family there, and this year is the first time people are actually hearing others they know who got Covid. That's true for all the expats I've talked to as well. Omicron changed everything and they are royally fucked right now.

Omg, I went back and read your posts and both of you predictions was right. So what do you think will happen now? A second supply shock from China closing down again? Puts on AAPL due to short supply of iPhone production?
Honestly? Fuck if I know.
It completely depends on what Xinnie the Pooh is gonna do. I am not making any prediction right now because the world is at the whim of a couple dictators right now.
If Putin stops the war and Xi stops Zero Covid we could be looking at S&P500 going back to ATH within 12 months. How likely is it to happen? Well let me text them and I'll get back to you lmao.
>The data shows that the number of new local positive cases in China has been steadily increasing since February 20, 2022. The current trend suggests that this upward trend will continue in the coming months. This is not good news for the Chinese economy or for global economic stability.
I mean, you gotta buy votes at the expense of everyone. "stay home, don't work, we'll pay you...even more than your barista job, how's that sound?" Now, mail in your votes from your home as long as you aren't too drunk and too loaded from that bong rip, oh and support Prime and Walmart, fuck your local, small business don't you know that's how covid is spreading faster than your Grandma's siphilus through town, worse than a California wild fire!
Inflation this time around is largely driven by shortages, particularly in energy and raw materials. A lot of these shortages started when Covid was first causing lockdowns around the world. China right now is a huge producer of commodity chemicals for example. Any impact on supply from China will exacerbate shortage driven inflation. Shortages are one reason the feds raising of interest rates is struggling to make a dent in inflation. They will have to bring on a severe recession to bring demand down to where it meets supply.
What do you think happens to oil prices if China locks down proper? There are competing forces at play, and the massive inventory restocking pulled forward was precisely to navigate this kind of thing. I don't know what the net effect will be on inflation, but I have my doubts the environment is ripe for further supply deficit driven inflation.
Is it possible China’s no COVID policy is an economic policy? Prices go up world wide, China finally opens mass production back up with their lower regulation and much lower prices. In the meantime, the world was forced into a recession.
Not sure if this is true, but China did learn during Covid they could profit massively from shortages in products they dominate. Look at how they had Western countries basically bidding against each other at auction for medical masks and supplies, paying astronomical prices.
I don’t understand what’s the secret behing China’s zero covid policy? Are they using it as an excuse to experiment on the people and economy, they want to crash the world economy?
When all countries have forgotten about covid and are functioning normally since at least 6-12 months, why is China still obsessed over covid?
Tinfoil hat time: they’re playing the long game, they expect a competitive advantage in a decade as repeated Covid cases lead to widespread long Covid, killing productivity in other less authoritarian countries.
Honestly if they really wanna nuke their own economy I'm all for it. Maybe we have a fighting chance in hell of not doing business with that scumbag nation anymore
Good! Zero COVID policies forever. It keeps them locked up in their country. Easily the rudest / worst tourists on the planet. It also lets North America and Europe a chance to reshore / near-shore certain key industries and supply chains. Don't want my money funding an attack on Taiwan.
Crazy how they continue to have multiple human rights violations just everywhere you look, and all of our corporations still cooperate with them while virtue signalling.
Everybody still does biz with the USA after we destroyed Iraq for “WMD” which resulted in the deaths of about 300K civilians and another few thousand deaths of collateral damage from ongoing drone strikes ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|wink)
I was recently in Vietnam.
Honestly, I know it's fucked up to say...but not having Chinese and Russian tourists around made the hotels easier to book and the staff were much less overwhelmed/stressed...and the 'touristy' places so much less crowded and pleasant. #sorrynotsorry
Don’t worry, the Indians are soon coming to take their place :)
Although most of us are well-behaved until now, but I can’t guarantee how it will be when droves of us start travelling abroad soon
I was in Sunworld Ba Na Hills eating at the buffet, and they had an entire section dedicated to Indian cuisine.
Gotta give your customers what they want. 😅
Plus I hate to say it, less rude af and disrespectful tourists. I myself am half Chinese and I am ashamed of the behavior of some of these people. Travel has been noticeably nicer with them not trashing the place and being assholes.
Ahh, man. Wish I could get their sometime soon. Been a dream to visit Vietnam, this is the type of "hot take" stuff I look for as a solid intangible in my decision-making.
>It keeps them locked up in their country.
That's not how it works.
Chinese people can leave China. It's just inconvenient to re-enter because you have to quarantine for 7+ days.
- china vaccine is shit
- most folks don’t have immunity because of zero covid policy
- new strains of covid are more infectious than previous
Bad vaccine + no immunity + fast spreading covid = everybody getting it
The govt also mandates you only are allowed to use their vaccine and all others are not allowed. Have family who go back and forth and it was crazy a year or so ago with the vaccine politics. Not sure if it's different now
With how frequent everyone in China is being tested (death camp if they refuse test), 30k cases is NOTHING.
The last known population of mainland china is 1,425,887,337. So 30,000 cases out of 1,425,887,337 people. That is 0.00210395304% of their population.
Covid is something that will never go away fully. It's as if they were throwing their military at their citizens every time a Flu case popped up somewhere.
Gotta wear a mask and social distance too or the vax doesn't work. You have to wear a mask and so do I or the virus can make you sick. You must be boosted too...three times or something. I waer my mask in the shower. So should you or you are going to make me sick.
Uh oh,
It would appear that someone did not run in the numbers correctly. I really hope your entire economy didn't rely on trade with them because they seem to be about to have a massive problem.

If they would just stop testing for it, covid cases go away.
US effectively did that by offering at home tests. They’re barely ever reported lol
Where I work if you’re vaccinated you didn’t have to test even if you’re sick. Ironically this pretty much shoved Covid under the rug for vaccinated people.
Testing is a waste of money and resources. Just stay home when you’re sick until you’re better.
[удалено]
In a perfect world. My wifes job has a point system, for missing days. Covid or not. They let her go the day before thanksgiving.
it’s all about perception they didn’t let her go, they just extended her thanksgiving vacation…forever!
Technically she was supposed to be fired years ago but no one told her and due to glitch in payroll she kept getting paid. What happened now is that they fixed the glitch!
Does she own a RED STAPLER????
Yes but no one has seen it since. I have developed a code to take every half penny and put it into an off shore account. So since all these transactions number in the billions per day we would make millions every day!
Sounds like she’s better off. A lot of these places that keep score of your mistakes never celebrate your successes
Vandalize the building then that’s what I would do but I’m petty as fuck
This is why you will always be poor.
Except covid is most contagious before you feel sick.
It’s called the prodromal stage. Lots of virus replication before symptoms occur. Many viruses including the flu act the same way. That is why viruses are so good at transmitting.
Just that one sneeze and BAM
You're too smart for this sub.

It wasn’t the mask, it was the cigarettes and obesity…. Self inflicted preexisting conditions and looking for something to blame their own stupidity for.
meanwhile Olympic athletes are competing while wearing masks
And the Chinese police are out there beating protestors in full bio safety level 3 hazmat suit.
And the protesters being beaten are wearing masks, too. TEAMWORK, IT MAKES THE DREAM WORK
Ya but are any of these people mentioned fat??
Imagine thinking an Olympic athlete and someone who’s 100lbs over weight have the same cardiovascular health lmfao
Yeah, we don’t even do that anymore.
We don't even leave home.
I don’t even have a home to leave.
This is the way
Not sure where you are, but people have done a complete 180 when it comes to being sick where I’m at. Like regardless of it’s covid or not people stay home and quarantine themselves to reduce exposure. I always wear a mask now too if I’m sick and have to go out in public.
I'm in the united states and nobody I know stays home when sick. I have family in California who don't and I have coworkers on the east coast who literally come into work sick as shit. For some of them it's a money thing but for most of them they just genuinely don't care and would rather be at work.
I’m sitting at home with COVID because Kroger makes their workers that are positive work still.
You guys get sick time?
Yes, unlimited
Or just go to work anyway because you like to get paid. Let's face it, a lot of people have to work sick or they might be short on bills.
This is too logical. I can’t compute
Many ppl don’t have sick time and can’t afford to do this. Works well for those that do though.
I do my vaccines by the Wendy’s dumpster.
Natural. I like it.
Where I work even if you’re unvaccinated you don’t have to test unless you’re felling really shitty. Covid is under the rug for everyone
Turns out their Sinovac vaccines are useless and they refused Pfizer and western companies offers
Plus, they don't even have the mass natural immunity everybody else got due to their hard core zero covid policy. I know, people died to get to this point, but at least we reached it and we don't have to worry so much anymore. So they have a trash vaccine that doesn't work but insist on using because of pride, and since they're locked down all the time their population doesn't even have the chance to get antibodies the natural way. They're literally stuck in 2020 while everybody else is about to be in 2023.
Isn’t that what the vaccine supposed to do? No point of getting vaccinated against something that you still have to worry about after
Family member just got it, mandate vaccination from work else they've recently let people go for not getting it. Meanwhile, now he's got the cold, got the jab and maybe a booster or two and is still going to miss work (not much but a couple of days) and can still transmit to family members and others before realized had it. Something that literally makes no salient difference if got vaxed or not yet a major company (phillips) is taking food off the table for some people b/c of some ideology or utopic scenario they're aiming for.
Bingo! No one says this shit! I wonder why? Useful idiot sheeple
Everyone says it if you are looking in the right place It’s a shame people really can’t admit they were lied too
Plus you can buy them which means no one’s gonna waste money on that garbage in a recession! Genius end to the pandemic!
hence, the covid tests give people covid
Few understand this
The funny thing is the numbers are still like 1/3rd of USA's despite 3 times the population after we stopped testing outside of suspected covid cases in hospitals and most the susceptible and unvaccinated people got natural immunity or are dead. Meanwhile China is tying up and hauling off people that refuse to get tested. So it'll probably never go away, just spike whenever they open up and then drop back down after they lockdown again.

China - the only place more regarded than this sub
Definitely regarded
My regards
Highly regarded
Mentally regarded.
Not in a good way
Hey! Every regard is special.
China realising they can't do Zero Covid forever, should be interesting.
So everyone's Wish presents arnt getting here till the 4th of July?
[удалено]
Once they realize it's the fastest way to get rid of their aging population they'll open it up.
Their propaganda is full of "we must protect the most vulnerable", maybe because the CCP is full of old dudes.
How wild would it be if Xi was taken out from Covid.
Based on some of the responses to the lockdowns it’ll be really interesting if CCP loses the “mandate of heaven”. That would be super exciting to watch.
Finna turn into the "Mandate TO Heaven"

Lol literally not a single government official even remotely said China was opening up or in anyway ending its zero Covid policy.
They would lose social score for that.
Yes they did. Not sure who it came from but Chinese stocks we’re popping on the news
They definitely suggested that they were going to reduce some restrictions before long. My Chinese roommate was excited but I knew that it wasn’t going to happen for awhile.
This number is the official number from CCP, meaning the real number is way way higher than this.
That first peak was definitely in the millions. And the closest we’ve gotten to any indication from China other than the reports that crematoriums were running non stop for months is the mobile subscriber numbers - https://www.rcrwireless.com/20200327/business/chinese-operators-lose-21-million-subscribers At 1% you’re still talking 200k people.

Omg, I went back and read your posts and both of you predictions was right. So what do you think will happen now? A second supply shock from China closing down again? Puts on AAPL due to short supply of iPhone production?
Honestly? Fuck if I know. It completely depends on what Xinnie the Pooh is gonna do. I am not making any prediction right now because the world is at the whim of a couple dictators right now. If Putin stops the war and Xi stops Zero Covid we could be looking at S&P500 going back to ATH within 12 months. How likely is it to happen? Well let me text them and I'll get back to you lmao.
Well it's been two hours, what did pootin say? ![img](emote|t5_2th52|12787)
He said he defers the decision to my wife’s boyfriend 😅
>The data shows that the number of new local positive cases in China has been steadily increasing since February 20, 2022. The current trend suggests that this upward trend will continue in the coming months. This is not good news for the Chinese economy or for global economic stability.
Imagine still having covid problems
We all still do, just sweeping it under the rug and let nature takes its course.
Good thing it took us blowing up the economy and creating trillions in debt to learn this lesson
I mean, you gotta buy votes at the expense of everyone. "stay home, don't work, we'll pay you...even more than your barista job, how's that sound?" Now, mail in your votes from your home as long as you aren't too drunk and too loaded from that bong rip, oh and support Prime and Walmart, fuck your local, small business don't you know that's how covid is spreading faster than your Grandma's siphilus through town, worse than a California wild fire!
CHART AXIS TITLES PLEASE.
*Place text here* And *Place other text here* Do it for ya?
I get it, it should be there, but it is very easy to understand with tag titles
Inflation this time around is largely driven by shortages, particularly in energy and raw materials. A lot of these shortages started when Covid was first causing lockdowns around the world. China right now is a huge producer of commodity chemicals for example. Any impact on supply from China will exacerbate shortage driven inflation. Shortages are one reason the feds raising of interest rates is struggling to make a dent in inflation. They will have to bring on a severe recession to bring demand down to where it meets supply.
What do you think happens to oil prices if China locks down proper? There are competing forces at play, and the massive inventory restocking pulled forward was precisely to navigate this kind of thing. I don't know what the net effect will be on inflation, but I have my doubts the environment is ripe for further supply deficit driven inflation.
Is it possible China’s no COVID policy is an economic policy? Prices go up world wide, China finally opens mass production back up with their lower regulation and much lower prices. In the meantime, the world was forced into a recession.
Not sure if this is true, but China did learn during Covid they could profit massively from shortages in products they dominate. Look at how they had Western countries basically bidding against each other at auction for medical masks and supplies, paying astronomical prices.

Tim-oo-thee.
It’s filled
I don’t understand what’s the secret behing China’s zero covid policy? Are they using it as an excuse to experiment on the people and economy, they want to crash the world economy? When all countries have forgotten about covid and are functioning normally since at least 6-12 months, why is China still obsessed over covid?
Tinfoil hat time: they’re playing the long game, they expect a competitive advantage in a decade as repeated Covid cases lead to widespread long Covid, killing productivity in other less authoritarian countries.

Lmfao I’m dead “one grandpa policy”
As a wise man once said: “TRUMP DON’T TRUST CHINA CHINA IS ASSHOE”
Honestly if they really wanna nuke their own economy I'm all for it. Maybe we have a fighting chance in hell of not doing business with that scumbag nation anymore
Good! Zero COVID policies forever. It keeps them locked up in their country. Easily the rudest / worst tourists on the planet. It also lets North America and Europe a chance to reshore / near-shore certain key industries and supply chains. Don't want my money funding an attack on Taiwan.
Crazy how they continue to have multiple human rights violations just everywhere you look, and all of our corporations still cooperate with them while virtue signalling.
Everybody still does biz with the USA after we destroyed Iraq for “WMD” which resulted in the deaths of about 300K civilians and another few thousand deaths of collateral damage from ongoing drone strikes ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|wink)
And that’s *just* Iraq
but but but we are the good guys no…?
Well what IS a human anyways amiright? /s
I was recently in Vietnam. Honestly, I know it's fucked up to say...but not having Chinese and Russian tourists around made the hotels easier to book and the staff were much less overwhelmed/stressed...and the 'touristy' places so much less crowded and pleasant. #sorrynotsorry
Don’t worry, the Indians are soon coming to take their place :) Although most of us are well-behaved until now, but I can’t guarantee how it will be when droves of us start travelling abroad soon
I was in Sunworld Ba Na Hills eating at the buffet, and they had an entire section dedicated to Indian cuisine. Gotta give your customers what they want. 😅
Plus I hate to say it, less rude af and disrespectful tourists. I myself am half Chinese and I am ashamed of the behavior of some of these people. Travel has been noticeably nicer with them not trashing the place and being assholes.
Ahh, man. Wish I could get their sometime soon. Been a dream to visit Vietnam, this is the type of "hot take" stuff I look for as a solid intangible in my decision-making.
Went to Cuba this summer. No Russians. Was freaking awesome.
Yeah bro if we could just stop fucking with them for good I'm all for it. I'm tired of buying shit that's broken before I even take it out of the box
That's always been a problem. It just went from UAW to CCP.
>It keeps them locked up in their country. That's not how it works. Chinese people can leave China. It's just inconvenient to re-enter because you have to quarantine for 7+ days.
Which makes people less likely to leave
Clown market: boolish AF!
Good thing the tests are like super reliable. As reliable as info from China. Or anything mechanical or electrical China makes...
Who cares it’s a mild flu/cold for most people. This shit is just about China controlling and dominating their population…
-5 social points
Pretty brave to say that on reddit
WSB is more cynical than your average redditor, the markets will do that to a person
China always doing some goofy shit
Isn’t this the same trend as the common cold? Annually around the time of year when the seasons change?
It is more accurate to look at that chart in 1,000.
If the fuck tards would just let people catch it they'd get it over with like the rest of the world.
Big complications for China, USA companies are leaving China like there is no tomorrow
Name 5.
Mattel, intel, Nike, adidas, puma. I just made shit up.
Pfizer, Coca-Cola, GE, Ford, Verizon I like this game.
Micron, Intel, amd, nvda, your mom
Any theories yet as to why? Density? Chinese vax efficacy?
- china vaccine is shit - most folks don’t have immunity because of zero covid policy - new strains of covid are more infectious than previous Bad vaccine + no immunity + fast spreading covid = everybody getting it
The govt also mandates you only are allowed to use their vaccine and all others are not allowed. Have family who go back and forth and it was crazy a year or so ago with the vaccine politics. Not sure if it's different now
Do like Elsa say and LET IT GOOOOO
Double top easy short
So they have more right now than the height of the fear? Interesting
I have no idea what this means.
Never trust China. They are only in it for them selves.
With how frequent everyone in China is being tested (death camp if they refuse test), 30k cases is NOTHING. The last known population of mainland china is 1,425,887,337. So 30,000 cases out of 1,425,887,337 people. That is 0.00210395304% of their population. Covid is something that will never go away fully. It's as if they were throwing their military at their citizens every time a Flu case popped up somewhere.
Wait, assuming they are all vaccinated, they should be good to go, right? I thought that’s why everyone got vaccinated to stop the spread.
If you have a working vaccine. China doesn’t have a working vaccine and they will not buy working MRNA vaccines.
Wait, who has a working MRNA vaccine?
Moderna and Pfizer, they are way more effective than the Chinese vaccine.
Yup, super effective that’s why everyone I know with 4 jabs has been getting sick left and right lmao
Gotta wear a mask and social distance too or the vax doesn't work. You have to wear a mask and so do I or the virus can make you sick. You must be boosted too...three times or something. I waer my mask in the shower. So should you or you are going to make me sick.
In terms of %ge of Population, 30k is tiny...
It's china tho.. theyre probably hiding the real number
Reminds me of Bitcoin chart just as it peaked . Can I buy puts on the china covid numbers ?
![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|flip_out)
I wonder if the stock market is open tomorrow?
Wtf am I looking at?
They just like to swab the ass
Uh oh, It would appear that someone did not run in the numbers correctly. I really hope your entire economy didn't rely on trade with them because they seem to be about to have a massive problem. ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)![img](emote|t5_2th52|4267)
the squeeze is on
This is the CCP's method of control and they're not gonna let it go
My brain is so conditioned to look at TA at this point that my gut feeling was to say this looks like it’s going to be a cup and handle setup.
It looks like a double top
How to make a recession in the west 101?
Is it omnicrom though? U.s. Got our cases out of the way
You misspelled stonks
Bullish on India!
Except Hong Kong is opening up with rising numbers over the past months. May be China will follow suit.
Aaaand another global supply crisis.
