Forums > Living in Kunming > Many Condo complexes (小区) are giving Covid testing

I received SMS today, which my wife translated to state that if I don't go get the free test (like today or something), my health code will automatically change to yellow, and then there will be more trouble. So I went to get the free swap.

But it was pure luck that I even checked the SMS - I get too much spam to bother translating every message.

Cannot vouch for any specific hospitals or doctors, but given the usual symptoms of said disease I would think carefully the details of the trip. Much depends also on your Chinese proficiency.

if you would be road tripping to all the typical destinations scattered around Yunnan, finding (in western terms) adequate hospitals wherever you go is probably too much to hope for. Long bus trips alone could be trouble.

If you stick to Kunming, Dali, Lijiang and Jinghong, all of which are nowadays accessible by high-speed trains, and only do short daytrips from these cities, it may be doable.

In extreme poverty, people will even limit survival to that of their own person.

This has been reported, for example, from DPRK prison camps with family members turning on each other to survive.

In today's China you cannot make this comparison to DPRK, but China's history has left its marks in people's behavior today.

If I interpret Mike correctly, he is referring to general attitude of average Chinese person toward other human beings, nature, and generally everything other than himself and his immediate family.

For long time China was poor country, and it still reflects in many parts of the society. One is, that average Chinese will always put his own survival and benefit first.
