If you want Covid-19 testing…
... fly into China. Every inbound pax is now being held and tested. If cleared, can move onto 14 day quarantine, otherwise - straight off to the hospital. The recent process (since adjusted to test everyone) - I would not be surprised if every inbound pax will soon be limited to quarantine at a 'designated …

Graze and stampede. Grazing is quickly coming to an end. I sent this to immediate family about two weeks ago (they have since actioned on it) and figure it might be worthwhile sharing here - though it sounds like western media is already parroting the same: Joking aside - I saw in the news that …
What day is it?
