I have rarely seen the words “Xinjiang” and “best practices” together in the same sentence. What do you expect from the regime there?
Guy
They have the best practices…
For the worst things
Normalcy mitigation
This story boiled my blood. Warning… this will ruin your afternoon.
10 minutes into a nice video on Thorium, WTF moment. (Timed for your convenience)
Taiwan, after doing exactly the same thing until a few months ago: 
Oh yeah, I saw it…even got sprayed by it. Not fun.
In China, it seems this is like a rite of passage or something. Do something ridiculous without complaining or giving a weird look? You will move up the ladder fast in the 大白 club!
You must have felt clean and bloody invincible afterwards though?
Lol I felt something alright…I was on an escalator going the opposite direction. Almost jumped across it to chase after them asking if they were blind or something. That would have been a fun news clip.
Poor girl behind me got absolutely nailed by it too.
No worries. It’s good for women - cures them of all known viruses, while being harmless to human health and the normal microflora. 
many of those spray trucks are not for Covid. They are spraying to kill the mosquito population to prevent an outbreak of dengue fever.
I think the ones with guys in full COVID-paranoia PPE are for COVID though, yeah?
The guys I’ve seen spraying for mosquitoes in Asia generally aren’t wearing much PPE at all (despite that probably being a good idea).
They stopped spraying for covid a while ago, but they have all the PPE now and realise its good to use it.
I believe they stopped spraying MRT train at termini only a few weeks ago (might be 3). Nonsense.
Still spraying at the airport. My luggage came out sopping wet.
My bike bag was also soaked thru in what ever they use last week…
Airport I guess they will stop only when the pandemic is declared ended by CECC… not keeping my breath though
If we’re talking about TPE here, I noticed they have at least stopped spraying the people (and the soles of their shoes). Only a few months ago, some idiot teenager with an official lanyard threw a hissy fit when I refused to be sprayed with some unknown chemical for no obvious purpose, and insisted I wore one of those cosplay-medical tyvek gowns while riding the taxi. IRL I actually have a fairly high tolerance for stupid people, but at this point I lost my shit entirely. Surprisingly, they all backed off and became rather apologetic. I got in the taxi and got home with only minor damage to my psyche. As of November you can walk out of the airport without any interruptions except for someone handing you a COVID test kit (which nobody cares about thereafter).
