The shots have to be at least 1 month apart, and ususally need to be booked in advance. This new requirement for entry hasn't been thoughout properly. I was heading out next week to see my parents, who are old and not well. I had to wait two years for the BS vax restrictions to be removed. I could have gone before Christmas, but I had some things to take care of here first. Now I will have to cancel my flights and possibly never see them again. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they are requiring COVID treatment cover for those travellers going onwards to a country requiring a negative COVID test prior to entry. Yes I will be getting insurance along with my retirement visa when I get there thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcmj Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Why don’t we have a look at this a from a different viewpoint. The election is coming up which no one seems likely to have a majority so all hell will break loose if it’s seen as rigged. So, how about we just let all the infected Chinese people visit, let the cases skyrocket and then the military will have to step in to “protect “ the citizens with a lockdown. That and just being stupid and greedy. Trying to put all their eggs in the same basket that fkd them before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a figure to look up 1 in 800 and that is in the uk and USA's injury figures...... Please cite "the medical reports," explain what you mean by "the opposite," and what you are referring to as "1 in 800." My question about the meaning of "1 in 800" was in the context of BritScot's challenge that medical reports and that figure showed the opposite of what I said on a previous post to the effect that the shots were meant to reduce serious illness and death, not minor infections.

Popular Post pomchop Posted January 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2023 If all the antivaxxers would just get the damn shots rather than arguing endlessly over obscure reports and conspiracy theories there would be a lot fewer dead people around the world. And one more time: the shots do not guarantee that you won't get covid...but they do greatly increase your odds of having a mild case rather than a hose stuck down your throat that requires a hospital and docs and nurses have to deal with you. 1 1 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The covid strains now are all mild, with or without shots. Not being vaccinated has little to do with this thread. It's the vaccinated people in the magority and they are the ones panicking about the other vaccinated Chinese people coming here. I'm not vaccinated and I have never had covid. I don't care about getting it either any more that I would not wand to catch the flu or a bad cold. But I am very concerned about an I crease in cases here and more lock downs and restriction etc, due to this stupid idea to allow Chinese back here in large numbers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. You are right. But usually the new mutation get less and less severe...this is the pattern that has been found with most viruses. There is a very low chance of a more severe mutation happening. I think will backfire on China. As their people have poor quality vaccines and they don't offer imnunity to the New strains of covid. They also haven't been exposed to the New strains from outside China. So when they go to other countries they wi get infected with these covid strains and get very sick.. Perhaps needing to go to hospital. They could also take back the new strains to China on their return, and make people there sick...and with their already overflowing hospitals they are going to get overwhelmed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
