Social Media Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 China Covid: More than 88 million people in Henan infected, official says Nearly 90% of people in Henan, China's third most populous province, have now been infected with Covid, local health officials say. Provincial official Kan Quancheng revealed the figure - amounting to about 88.5 million people - at a press conference. China is battling an unprecedented surge in cases after abandoning zero-Covid policies in December. The move followed rare protests against lockdowns, quarantines and mass tests.

Popular Post Phoenix Rising Posted January 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2023 I bet that; a few weeks from now, when the Chinese hordes have properly cavorted around in Thailand, the number of Covid cases rise exponentially, causing the Thai healthcare system to buckle and Anutin (AKA "The Genius") to flipflop yet again. Covid vaccine certificates will become a mandatory entry requirement, as will pre-departure test certificates, ridiculously expensive insurance policies and mask wearing. Anybody wanna bet against me? 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does it bother you that the Thai's wear a face mask, or anybody for that matter? Commenting on the fact probably indicates it annoys you. You're only a farang here and your opinion counts for nought to the Thai's 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Awesome. They let Covid get out of control domestically and then open up the borders to infect the rest of the world again. Thanks CCP. Let's hope the Thai healthcare system can cope because I for one will not be co-operating with lockdown measures again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody wanna bet against me? Simple logic suggests that if 80-90% are infected now, they won't get covid again in "a few weeks". The current covid wave in China probably won't last more than the end of this month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't notice that my voice recognition software decided that "cleaning" was what I meant, not "claiming". Here it is again: "I didn't know that being a guest of the government of Thailand makes one an especially entitled person. It's a good thing you're not claiming that privilege out of a sense of self-entitlement." As for the restrictions on Chinese travelers: I'd go with what epidemiologists recommend. Unlike some who believe that they know better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always best to proof read before posting so others have a chance of understanding you (it's preferable to stay on topic as well so I'll ignore whatever point you are clearly struggling to make). Keeping on topic, I think they're listening more to the economists than the epidemiologists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have taken just a bit mental effort for most folks to construe what the those sentences meant at first. For most folks. But since you can't figure what the revised version meant, therefore, when I reply to you in the future, I will attempt to use words of no more than 2 syllables (Sorry about that last word. Is there someone nearby who can help you with it?). As for keeping on topic. It was you who declared that you weren't going to abide by rules that the people who run this country impose. ADD much?

If they wish to put their own population at risk for Chinese tourist dollars (or Yuan) that is their choice but don't expect me to voluntarily give up my freedoms to assist them. Feel free to tug your own forelock though, since you clearly respect their moral authority Edited January 10, 2023 by metisdead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just want to ‘score the win’ rather than take on the discussion... either that, or they lack the smarts to recognise an obvious typo....

You’ll comply if you have to... just like you comply with everything else you may not like - from meeting immigration requirements to airport security checks and carry on regulations etc etc...

Time and place for the masks. Don't belittle people who are trying to take care their health. It's sensible to wear masks on crowded public places and in hospitals. But stupid to wear them on a motorbike or walking outside in the fresh air. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else it prevents people from touching their faces as much as they normally would , which is proven to be a major source of virus transmission.

Now everyone is fine for the most part & back to living a normal life I imagine it is the same for the 90% in Henan that were infected & now have longer lasting immunity/resistance Edited January 10, 2023 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
