Coronavirus Week 104: Workplaces, Shanghai, more

Your Local Epidemiologist talks ventilation and filtration.

China is so worried about Shanghai that it stopped its previous half-a-city-at-a-time lockdown and instead, put the whole city on one lockdown. Frustrations are rising, and along with that, claims that the lockdown is being poorly handled. And, of course, Xi Jinping Thought has snuffed out public discussion of these plaints on WeChat. Because of that? "Control your soul's desire for freedom. Do not open the window or sing."

Speaking of? I had to laugh when some piece at some online newsmagazine that I've already forgotten about called Adam Tooze a leftist a week ago. He's a neoliberal, as his book on the pandemic makes clear, and he's also a Xi Jinping Thought ass-kisser on China's alleged containment of COVID. I asked him on Twitter yesterday if he was ready to eat crow.

Beyond lab leaks, lab contaminations and other lab mishaps, if they didn't contribute to the origin or release of COVID-19 in Wuhan, are a problem waiting to happen. And, per that link, claims that new studies have totally nailed down the theory that COVID came from the Wuhan wet markets? Still not buying it, Carl Zimmer.
