In the coastal Chinese city of Xiamen, it’s not just the mouths of fishers being swabbed for Covid-19, but also the fish they’ve caught.
As China maintains its commitment to zero Covid, city authorities are working to ensure there is no avenue for the virus to enter, ordering all fishers and their catch undergo a daily nucleic acid test.
According to the Xiamen Jimei district’s political and legal committee, it was necessary to swab both returning workers and their “materials” immediately upon disembarking each day, because some fishers had made illegal trades or contact with overseas vessels while at sea, “resulting in the import of the coronavirus”.
“At present, all people in Xiamen City need nucleic acid testing, and the fish catches must be tested as well,” an employee at the Xiamen municipal ocean development bureau told local media. TV news reports showed officials swabbing the mouths of fish and the underside of crabs.

When soda pop right out of the can tests positive for COVID (thank you “Gold Standard” PCR tests), you can bet nothing useful will come from this.

‘For’ or ‘With’?..........................
Seems to me there is something far more dangerous than Covid derivatives going on in China. Why all the bother for a virus that has such a low hospitalization and death rate? Do many disease experts feel the derivatives of it will go on for ever?
Sardines too?
What a load of carp.

OT:
Words mean things.
People who of either sex that fish commercially for a living are called ‘fishermen’. Most see the altered term as an insult, a put down by high and mighty, wealthy, city-loving liberals.
The term ‘fisher’ was introduced in the 1980s to denigrate commercial fishermen by equating then with a varmint: The fisher (Pekania pennanti) is a small, carnivorous mammal native to North America, a forest-dwelling creature whose range covers much of the boreal forest in Canada to the northern United States.
The Chinese like fish sticks. That makes them gay fish with monkey pox.
Klaus Schwab them fishes!
But don’t they fish lip the swabs?
LOLOL!!! follow the money...
