More Lockdowns in China

Because China is being hit with a record number of new Covid cases, there are more lockdowns. Once again, there was rioting at the Apple factory. When you think of the percentage of products that are made in China, and the shutting down of so many factories, that's bound to have an effect on what will be available in stores. China's goal of zero Covid has prevented the population from developing natural immunity.

This is a medical, scientific, and financial problem, so let's try to keep it from getting moved.

I'm sure the Apple stores have them. They're being advertised on YouTube every ten minutes.

Thanks, Jerry, I will not leave the house on Black Friday.
This past Wednesday I visited the local Costco shortly after opening time, and cars were circling the parking lot looking for a parking space.
I may venture out late next week.
I'm not too fond of crowds and lines, sigh.
Best Wishes,

The total control thing about Covid speaks volumes about the Chinese government. Perhaps it comes from a deep desire to show that theirs is a superior society. Meanwhile the Chinese people are made to suffer. Covid is not going to go away.

Through history, there have always been "evil empires," mainly through the efforts of a small group of people. Human history is ridiculous. Imagine an alien race going back to their home planet and reporting on human history. "Come on! No intelligent species could be that bad. Tell us what they're really like."
