The first article i read about this on Free Republic said:

"On Wednesday, a 34-year-old employee at the Meishan Terminal of China’s Ningbo-Zhoushan Port tested positive for the coronavirus despite being fully inoculated with two doses of the Sinovac vaccine. It was an asymptomatic infection."

Something else must be happening. They shut the terminal down because of one asymptomatic infection?

President Trump tried to wean the corporatist whores off of a single source supplier, but they paid Dem operatives and media swine to pull off a 3am coup instead.

They'll be crying when their factories are nationalized by Xi the Pooh.

Stocked up on TP, PT, trash bags, detergent, soaps, shampoos, water, food (18 mths), coffee (must), milk, rice, salt, spices, etc etc etc....

Get your cars tuned up - brakes, oil changed, spark plugs - everything!

Better safe than sorry.

They want it shut down. It’s part of their long strategy.

Anyone who continues to buy cheap hsit at Wal-Mart or Harbor Freight, just for starters... isn't paying attention, let's put it that way.

My car has hit the 100k miles mark and we are having its maintenance done with that in mind.

Even mr. mm has come on board with my prepping mindset. He doesn’t complain about all my prepping any more.

They want it shut down. It’s part of their long strategy.

And COVID is just an excuse that works considering how terrorized the left has made everyone over a treatable cold virus.

They promised that rubber dogsh!t I ordered would be here by Labor Day.
