RE: China surge26 Oct 2021 18:57
I haven't seen any reports that Bejing is closed but . . .
. . . I think that the Delta variant will start to get loose in China. Their vaccination rollout was impressive, but the actual vaccine doesn't seem very good. (See Chile and Seychelles). So China have yet to actually confront the virus itself - the same as New Zealand and all countries that tried to prevent it getting started at all. So in the UK and Europe we'll prob have a diminishing surge this winter and perhaps again in the spring 2022 as natural immunity and boosters take effect, countries like China might well be seeing their 'first wave' in a sense. What this means for global supplies is disquieting if they are insistent on locking down everything. Of course, it does mean that Colin and ODX might be able to start selling their tests to . . . China! (Wouldn't that be ironic!).
