“I did recall reading that they were monitoring the covid in the waste water.”
When I read the first report of that activity, it was nonsensical, because they had the case data.
However, as a manner in which to monitor ‘dosing’ concentrations...???
Monitoring waste water would have been an academic response to a dosing error. NYC?
The tin hat within me always believed that there was a throng of (Chinese) 12 Monkeys-type individuals flying around the globe distributing contagion. Is that why some countries fared remarkably favorably in comparison to others? Is that why the Chinese now - ironically, pun intended - have a monkey on their back, because they couldn’t put the genie back in the bottle and grossly-underestimated their creation?
Are these new ‘facts’ elaborating on why the Chinese are so fearful of the spread, evidenced by their hysterical response to a variant with (purportedly) infinitesimal complication & fatality rates (measured over the SHORT term)?
Just spit-balling...
Yes, the Chinese response in Shanghai is very interesting.
Locking down the biggest city in the world because of a variant that causes basically a head cold.
Maybe they know the long term effects are worse than reported.
