COVID-19 Confusion in China As Authorities Row Back Curbs

A patchwork easing of the world's toughest COVID-19 curbs sowed confusion across China on Monday (Dec 5), spurring hopes for more clarity as officials shift the tone on the dangers posed by COVID-19 in the wake of last month's unprecedented protests.

Three years into the pandemic, China's zero-tolerance measures, from shutting its borders to stifling lockdowns, provide a stark contrast with the rest of the world, which has largely opened up in its efforts to live with the virus.

The strict approach has battered the world's second-largest economy, put a mental strain on hundreds of millions and last month prompted the biggest show of public discontent in mainland China since President Xi Jinping took power in 2012.

They are refusing to let farmers put fertilizer on their
crops. They’re headed toward outlawing cattle as well.

Fertilizer multiplies how much crop you get out of your
planting efforts. Even cutting back to herd manure for
fertilizer will see a major decrease in production if
I understand it correctly.

Of course they are going to eliminate the manure
producing animals also, so that’s rather mute in the
near future.

No raw materials to make fertilizer....and many petrochemicals...petro-pharmaceuticals and plastics.
