I couldn't help recalling how the previous semester of kindergarten started by adjusting delivery and pick up times of the children to better suit regular daily routines of families (dinner times etc), and thus being better for overall development of the children and society as whole. I think I even mentioned about it on this forum.
Fast forward one week, and same kindergarten had observed that picking up children at this hour coincided with pickup times of neighboring primary school, causing traffic congestion. Citing scientific approach the pickup times were changed back to original.
Today at noon son's kindergarten informed that to cooperate with the epiemic prevention and control, everyone in household must get tested once every 48h this week. Which we promptly rushed to do, as ours was expiring.
Then at 7pm kindergarten informed that due to adjustment of epidemic preventation and control policy, tests are no longer needed at all.
If not needed for means of transport that's great for getting around, but what about various government offices or even entertainment venues at the destinations, any intel on those?
For example PSB Exit & Entry had 24h test requirement previously. Need to pick up passport this week so will find out.
If I need to go somewhere, I usually can schedule it well in advance and then I actually prefer 12+ hours to get the results, over faster 4h.
As I typically run errands in mornings (including taking the test), I would anyway not get the results in for that morning, and if I get results in 4h, then next day it would only be valid through the morning and not in afternoon anymore - should I need that.
But if it takes 12-18h, the test I'd take in the Monday morning would be valid through all Tuesday.
Another detail about the tests is that the time from taking the sample to having it actually tested takes time.
In my last case (checking the details in the phone app) that seems to have taken 18h - and I assume the 24/48h/whatever period they check from that, which is already 18h late.
Obviously this does not help if you need to be somewhere in next 24 hours and haven't been tested yet, but if you can get tested in advance, the 24h window does not start from taking the test, but possibly much later.
@alienew: "The workers should hold them liable with brickbats."
Well, that would set a dangerous precedent, which would only result in only tighter enslaving of employees in future operations across the nation. And certainly overriding limited liability of iinvestors only serves to drive investments away from these places.
The second to last picture with all the shop signs actually reminds me of Hong Kong.
Perhaps off topic, but this is strikingly opposite of recent developments in first tier cities and in fact even our own apartment block in northern Kunming, where the authorities are forcing shops to remove excessive signs on the streets and in the walls - basically anywhere outside the immediate space the shops have leased.
Alright, if you go that way then everything is assuming. Assumptions is what made our ancestors come down from trees and cross a river and a mountain range. You assume quite a bit already when you go to sleep at night.
I am not assuming anything that didn't happen already. China already had a peasant revolution that was supposed to bring prosperity to all.
I am not asking for another revolution, but I am asking for that same spark. I do admit assuming that the Chinese state can contain such spark better this time.

And that's the difference between limited and unlimited liability ownership.

Is it assuming if I have seen it with my own eyes?
