I’d like to hear about what is happening in China regarding Covid if or when you get some quality information — infection rate, severity, variant, herd immunity, vaccination, etc. I don’t think mainstream/corporate news is reliable, and that politics plays too big a part of it.
Where are the links for the long covid articles mentioned?
