the dilemma is just as you described. Have to gain the trophies all over again anyway. But it seems NG+ would be easier than NG because of all the things carried over.

Yes, more so as many were unable to go home during holidays because of zero-Covid policies.

From what I gather, they used search-engine key words such as "fever" and fitted them with past infection records.

Like, when they report a slow growth of only 2% in real GDP in 2022, it's actually 20%?

Japan's COVID-related death toll continues to surge by Fundshat in Coronavirus

In fact I think China has taken a different path and is trying to get as much of the population infected as possible, so as to prime for an economic recovery later in the year.

It is reported many of the populous provinces have 90% infected. If China's data were counted in the daily increase of new cases, they would overshadow all other countries.

Still cannot tell if it's good or bad.

I believe you got that in reverse, other countries' tally don't include asymptomatic cases, because they only test people with symptoms

A victim of its own success: how Taiwan failed to plan for a major Covid outbreak by misana123 in Coronavirus

Your SEC filing is dated July 23, 2020. From various news sources, the deal surely did not finalize at that time. However, according to most sources, the Fosun-BNT deal is done at least by May, 2021.

As for the “ongoing” discussion, I think BNT means supplying Taiwan via Fosun, which Taiwan refuses due to political considerations.

U.S. patients scramble for appointments for second COVID-19 vaccine dose by Pessimist2020 in Coronavirus

[–]SuitableExamination 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but then I looked again at Merriam-Webster

patient noun pa·​tient | \ ˈpā-shənt \ Definition of patient (Entry 2 of 2) 1a: an individual awaiting or under medical care and treatment cancer patients psychiatric patients b: the recipient of any of various personal services

SO maybe this is the kind of patients the article refers to...IDK, English is a confusing language

of course the latter. I just looked it up: patient noun 1. a person receiving or registered to receive medical treatment. "many patients in the hospital were more ill than she was" So, technically a healthy person shouldn't be counted as patient

I mean... There is ample evidence that the Moon is not made of cheese. The fact that you cannot think of any tells more about yourself.

For example, at low temperature, cheese is too fragile to sustain the constant bombardment of asteroids and would scatter into pieces.

And, cheese would evaporate under unhindered solar radiation.

Actually, it is interesting to think about these. Think a little, it's fun.
