That's the takeaway in China, where crowding is intense and any outbreak of any disease tends to spread quickly.

Vaccination means a mild but annoying illness, not the horror show we saw in 2020. If you're reading this, you're probably smart enoughto have gotten the jab, so you'll survive it if you get it.

It's hilarious that China has accused France of dumping cognac on its market. I suppose French cognac has cut into maotai sales.

And good for China for their progress toward renewable energy. They know coal is killing them.
