Hello, In a few day I will be going back to China. It has been 3 years since I have visited China. I didn't give it a lot of thought about changes that might have been made in China in the past three years. Changes in banking, traveling Covid VPN, attitude, etc. I knew there might be some changes but I was hoping they would not really affect me. Access to money is starting to concern me a little bit now. Basically I need spending/ living money for the time I am going to be there. In the past I alway relied on cash and ATM mostly. I am starting to worry a little about the ATM accessibility. I guess I am going to bring a little extra cash. More than I usually do. And I also have a Discovery and American Express card. Those I hope I can use for travel and hotel. I did just have a covid booster shot a few weeks ago. Does not seem to be any travel restrictions because of covid. But as been mentioned on this site there are some issues in the north with children having some respiratory problems. As far attitude, I was wondering if at the moment is the attitude towards the USA more positive or negative? I am hoping it going more positive. What you guys think? Anything that I really need to consider or be concerned about? Danb. -
I think the Wuhan coronavirus has a firm toehold in the U. S. now and will spread and be managed in a North American way (a Chinese viral epidemic with American characteristics). For better or worse. I expect a surge in cases soon. But that will just be testing catching up with infections. That will be a good thing. Other than that, it’s sit and wait for me (now that we’ve stocked up on hand sanitizer). https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/28/3m-ramps-up-n95-respirator-production-amid-global-coronavirus-outbreak.html ”3M ramps up N95 respirator production as demand surges from global coronavirus outbreak” “To fill the surge in demand for the devices, particularly the N95 respirator, 3M is ramping up production In Aberdeen, South Dakota, more than 650 employees at one of 3M’s largest manufacturing facilities are working overtime to increase face mask production.” Good pic’s at this link: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/total-fing-anarchy-costco-shoppers-share-funnyscary-tales-of-preppers-getting-ready-for-a-coronavirus-outbreak-2020-03-02 ‘Total f***ing anarchy!’ Costco shoppers share funny/scary tales of preppers getting ready for a coronavirus outbreak The comments sections gave some color from the front lines: “Signs were up that they were out of toilet paper, paper towels and bottles of water. Even with that, inside people were stocking up on food, drinks... darn near everything it seems. Going up and down the aisles, seeing pallets empty and people loading up their carts... it was just surreal all the panic buying that is going on.” “It was total f**king anarchy.” “We sold out of toilet paper yesterday, which hasn’t happened at our Costco in 30 years. It was a horrible day to work and I am dreading work today.” An ongoing topic - click here for Most Recent Post
