  1. This is what I wrote on another thread yesterday:

    I am constantly amazed about the number of people who allegedly alight from taxis leaving their wallet/purse/bag behind stuffed full of cash and other valuables. So when they get into the taxi, the first thing they do is to take out their wallet /purse/bag and put it on the floor or the seat and then conveniently forget about it?

    Am I being cynical or what?

      While I don't doubt that every major city in China has some sort of quarantine in place, I suspect that most places (outside of Hubei province and Wuhan city) are quarantining people who have the virus.

     

      It's difficult to believe that China has quarantined 75% of their entire population.

    Everyone in my Chinese city who left for the holidays has been put under enforced 14 day quarantine in their apartment upon returning . I finished mine last Thursday, and I had to have my temperature taken twice a day as well as get someone to order food over the internet for me. It is the same in most cities so 750 million+ would have been correct a week ago.

    The masks mostly shown in the photos are the cheap drugstore kind that are not really effective against viruses... They could have/should have been wearing N95 respirator masks, but probably have a hard time obtaining them up there.

     

    These surgical masks became a fashion accessory some years ago and can  cover up a variety of deficits from acne to cleft palate scars. After about 30 minutes their filtering efficiency diminishes rapidly.

    While I agree that right wing Israeli government policies towards Palestinians and this bogus plan are truly awful, I want to object to conflation of those policies with Nazis.

    What the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians is far worse than what the Nazis did to the jews and over a much  longer period of time, so it is not inflammatory or and certainly not inaccurate to tell this fact. I fear much worse is to come from the apartheid jews with Plan Trump.
