@JonkusPKMN That's good. You don't want the meta to change every season: it's best when the core meta is consistent in any games, but with the creation of more options to handle them/slight decrease in dominance, is perfect. Worst case would be having some meta mons become unusable
@thisischaniece @Jeffrey_WH @EP_Lawrence I guess the balance 20% would be those who come from overseas, get sick and decide to go to the doctor within 7 days of arrival.
@laowai_shanghai@oxpal@macastel3 Viruses mutate so it's easier for them to infect when infection opportunities become limited. Definitely not the case in China. I don't think it's about reciprocity but more about the usual panic about the virus.
@oxpal@laowai_shanghai@macastel3 China has 1 bil people, the world has 7+. The virus has been spreading rapidly through the entire global population. Just because cases are spiking in 1 country in a short period doesn't mean others will suddenly be more at risk.
@oxpal@macastel3@laowai_shanghai China's stance is every country can protect its borders in the way it deems fit. Their stance is China has a lot of cases (of the same virus everywhere) thus let's create special restrictions for us is not logical. They were fine with Thailand's first approach.
@macastel3@laowai_shanghai Firstly mant countries do not. China's position is in response to specific targeting of Chinese for tests. Either you make it a blanket requirement for all countries or don't. China hasn't reciprocated against countries who require tests for all travellers
@DrDOwens@terencefung No. Singapore requires the death to come from covid not be with covid. Comparing hk which counts any death with covid with Singapore is mind-boggling. Given the restrictions were similar between the two it more goes to show the likely more real number in hk
@RealSexyCyborg Given most have already had covid and recovered in many cities, any mask mandates are irrational. You won't get reinfected for 3-6 months. Also masks are not particularly effective - every single person infected here has been wearing them religiously.
@thisischaniece That's true but I mean more that you'd have to be severely immunodeficient to get reinfected so quickly, and it's going to be everywhere in society from now until cny so being scared to travel somewhere to risk reinfection is irrational
@VelkyChoc @Antwanmorel not at all. i've spent more than enough time in China hospitals - it's always been a chaotic mess. patients in hallways and the such. overwhelming queues to even get medicine. there's a culture of going to the hospital for the slightest cold.
@chris__pc MF8551: reserved slot, not operating for a while
FM9362: often cancelled
CA1563: new flight, only starts tomorrow
MU2993: only flies few times a week
MF8569: never operated yet
MU5164: new flight, starts 26th
MU2470: never operated yet
@chris__pc@ZetGunner Looking at Hongqiao a lot of flights were landing as scheduled today. Also a lot of the cancelled flights have been 'cancelled' for quite a while - airlines who have these slots reserved not operating the flights due to demand and ready to resume them later
