1. Is COVID-zero a realistic policy at this point?  At the time of writing only China, Taiwan and Tonga are pursuing this strategy.  Highly transmissible variants make this policy increasingly difficult to implement, and I often wonder whether Taiwan's aging population, suddenly hit by a new variant after a period of virological isolation, might be less resistant to the virus, not more.

2. I attended a half marathon in that area years ago.  The stench was impressive.

3. And we'll probably see more such cases in the near future.  People just aren't scanning those QR codes like they used to.  It's OK.  Breathe.  It was going to happen sooner or later.

4. Sorry, the hysteria is getting to me.  How long are we going to worry over footprints?

5. If I were them I'd go light on the pizza.  In many places that fad has already come and gone.  I recently met a business owner in Manzhou ready to give me an entire clay oven they once used to make pizza, provided I had a truck big enough to cart it away.
