@karolmc Great to hear Karol, you're obviously our number one pickle pioneer, happy travels!

@AlDinAtlantic @SWso155 @allisonpearson @mosstradamouse New Year’s day is a national holiday here in China. It’s a three day weekend this year so there’s lots of celebrating. Chinese New Year is different and called Spring Festival. Happy to help. 😊

@Nemesis96866679 @alphacentauriii Many domestic flights land at Pudong. There’s flights with “infected” on them landing every day - everyone travelling internationally is tested on arrival and immediately sent to quarantine, +ve tests are sent to hospital quarantine.

@SHighgraves @sturdyAlex Oh things are far, far from perfect here. But once all this is over, you really should consider a visit, it’s a fascinating, complicated country that’s trying to balance 5,000 years of tradition and culture with finding its role in the modern world

[Karol Mc @karolmc]

@sturdyAlex @A_Bandini But even the state newspapers are full of information, here’s a bit from a China Daily article this week after there were TWO positive asymptomatic cases in Qingdao

[Karol Mc @karolmc]

@sturdyAlex Meanwhile, here in China, everyone’s back at work, kids are back at school, restaurants and shopping malls are full and even mask-wearing is starting to decrease, while foreigners with residence permits are being encouraged back.

@SHighgraves @sturdyAlex The Chinese province I live in had no deaths from Covid. Everyone who enters the country gets tested, now multiple times, every time a positive case arises, they lock down the district and test everybody - none of this is being hidden and life is back to (a new) normal.

Just to finish, there are some "we'll know we've won when" statements. My favourite: "We'll know we've won when there are staff at board-level in managerial / strategic roles who once did an inner join in SQL, just as we have clinical leaders who once treated 1000s of patients."

@StephenMcDonell I really hope it's true and not just for business visas, I know of too many resident families who've been split up now for months.

@aecasson Have now fallen down a NKOTB YouTube hole. I’d forgotten just how terrible their haircuts were, Donnie had a mullet and Danny had a spectacular rat tail https://t.co/z278avsFfh

[Karol Mc @karolmc]

@aecasson He’s turned into a bit of a hottie now he’s older though

[Karol Mc @karolmc]

@aecasson That photo left to right is Donnie, Danny, Jordan and Joey, no sign of Jon. He was the “grown up” of the group so probably off being sensible and boring

[Karol Mc @karolmc]

@LancsLass9 @tramfrau @AudreyAurus1 Yeah, I mean, just look at all those deaths in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, China, Singapore where mask wearing is commonplace/ mandated. Masks are sooooo dangerous.

It’s just more bone-headed British exceptionalism

@DeathMedieval I really need to start getting someone else to collect the water, think this is the fifth time I’ve been pushed down a well

[Karol Mc @karolmc]

@DeathMedieval Metal.

[Karol Mc @karolmc]

Binged the whole of #ThePolitician2 in a day. A third season focussed on Gwyneth, Judith and Bette’s White House shenanigans is what the world needs right now. Ben Platt can do an occasional musical number.

@ChenDingding The pic that launched a thousand ‘ships...

[Bill & Ted 3 @BillandTed3]
